Blogmas 2017 day 8 - work & Christmas party

Hello, welcome back to another day of blogmas.
Today at work I volunteered in the morning and started in ratio at 12:00. in the morning I started off in the shark room, we didn't have a lot of kids, so I went to go see what the Monkey's were doing. they were making guacamole. the kids were into it at first, they were smelling things, helping, and one boy even tried a lime. he liked it, he kept coming back for more. After the guacamole was finished, it was time for them to have lunch, so I brought over there lunch tray.  I went back over to the shark room to do heat ups for there lunch. They finished there lunch, and then it was time for the nappers to go nap. since there wasn't many nappers, we sent them to the monkey room to nap. the kids that were not napping had the whole room to play in and not just the library area.
 At 1:00 I went to be with the cheetahs for an hour. there was music on, some where dancing, and some kids were playing. The first song that was put on was Thunder by Imagine Dragons, and Believer also by Imagine Dragons. these are the only two songs that the kids asked to play. after we played them a couple times we switched to Christmas music.
 I went back into the shark room. some of the kids were playing with a mixture of flour and baby oil, it was almost like the feeling of sand.
 After I took my break I served snack. snack was cheese & pepper quesadillas. Not a lot of sharks or cheetahs had snack so we had a lot left over. I Put away snack and finished cleaning the kitchen. I finished cleaning the kitchen and then I played with the kids until it was time to go.
  I was getting a ride to the party with a co-worker. I got off at 5:15 and she got off at 5:30, so I had to wait for her.
I got to the party, and we were waiting for the others to arrive. once everyone was here we ate pizza. there was a lot of pizza, and a lot of food. we finished eating then we played a game. this game was called million dollars, but. its kind of like cards against humanity in the way that you have to sets of card to create a scenario, and you have a judge. you basically have to choose one that you would not do for a million dollars. We ate some cake and cookies after, and played another game. the game was called code name. we chatted for awhile before my sister came to pick me up.
when I got home I was tired, and it was late so I went to bed.
Good night.

Blogmas 2017 day 7 - decorating cookies & dance

Hello welcome to another day of blogmas.
17 days until Christmas!!
Today I woke up early, but I didn’t work today. I ate breakfast and then made icing for my cookies, then decorate them. decorating took me a long time, about 2 1/2 hours. These are some of my favourite ones that I decorated.

After I finished the cookies it was late.
 My dad told me I should think of something to make for supper the night before, so I wouldn't have to scramble for what to make for supper. I forgot to do that, so when it was time to make supper I had no idea what to make. it took me a while. I was thinking vegetarian chili, but I couldn't find my recipe. instead I found my recipe for chili pasta bake. I made this with a few modifications.
I didn't have much time because I needed to go dance.
 I took my food and then went to dance. first class Is a little kids creative class that I help my instructor with. This class is always so crazy. Next there is a class where I just watch, then its my class. right now I have one dance that I have finished. its a modern contemporary dance, and the song I am using is River by Bishop Briggs. I am done my dance, so I ran through it a couple times, and then my dance teacher taught me some combinations that I could do. class was over so I went home. When I got home I made my lunch and then went to bed.
Good night.

Blogmas 2017 day 6 - day with the Monkeys & Kitchen day

Hello, welcome to day 6!

Today at work is my volunteer day, or as I call it “Kitchen day” because I spend a lot of my time in the kitchen.  In the morning when I got to work I spent time in the main room with everybody until they split into there groups. After everyone was settled in there rooms, I went into the kitchen. I got a head start on the dishes, then made bannock.  I finished making bannock and the. I finished the dishes. I moved on to making the smoothie popsicles next and put them in the freezer.  Every other Wednesday we have cookies for snack. Some times there are cookies already made in the fridge, sometimes there’s not. If there wasn’t I would make some. The cookies were already for today, the last thing I had to do was set up the trays for lunch.  

  I went into the monkey room to play with the kids. They were cleaning up and getting ready for lunch. I helped with lunch. After lunch it was nap time for the monkeys. I went to the shark room to do there heat ups. After I finished setting up there lunch, I took my lunch. After my lunch was over I played with the sharks, and read books. 

The monkeys nap was over so I went back into there room to play with them some more until snack. Snack was cookies and apples. Snack was over and we went back to playing. They also did a craft. It. Was two mittens cut out of construction paper, and then they glued yarn into there mittens. This craft took a while, by the time they were all done it was time for me to go home. 

  When I got home I was tired. I went to go sit and watch tv for a bit.  I then needed to come up with something for supper, nothing was coming to me. My mom suggested philly cheese steak sandwiches and fries. I finished supper, and then cut out my cookies. I bought some new cookies cutters, I have a mitten, snowman, Christmas sweater, gingerbread man, a Christmas tree, and a Mickey Mouse one that my friend let me borrow. I finished baking them and put them away, and then I went to bed to write and then go to bed. 

Good night.

Blogmas 2017 day 5 - Writing & baking gingerbread

Hello everyone,
Welcome back to another day of blogmas!
I didn’t work today so I slept in a little bit. I went downstairs to have breakfast and watch some vlogmas. I was finished breakfast, so I went upstairs to get changed. I then got my laptop set up to write and put my head phones in to listen to music. I worked on my travel blog, this one has taken me a long time to finish because I need to get all the pictures, and there’s a lot of writing. I was having some trouble with getting the pictures lined up. This took me a while, so I decided to wait until the end to focus more on my photos, but I haven’t finished it yet. After writing for awhile, I took a break to make grilled cheese for lunch. As I ate my lunch I continued to listen to music. Right now I am really liking Niall Horan’s new album Flicker! I continued to write some more after lunch.
      It was getting close to supper time, and I was going to make supper. The problem I have with making supper, is figuring out what to make. I usually say to my family members you come up with the idea and I’ll make it. Eventually my dad came up with making the potato casserole. This usually make on the individually on the  barbecue with potatoes, carrots, onions, mushrooms, seasoning salt, tomatoes soup, and Ketchup. This  time we made on casserole in the oven. It was still delicious. We finished supper and I cleaned out the dish washer, then made gingerbread cookies. After I made my gingerbread cookies I made my lunch, write and then went to bed.
Good night.

Blogmas 2017 day 4 - work & zumba

Hello everyone.
Happy Monday, welcome back.
There is only 20 day until Christmas!
 Today I woke up at 7:00 to go to work. today is my volunteer day, so that means that I do the morning snack dishes and set up the trays for lunch. also occasionally make snack. today for snack I made trail mix with pretzels, crasins, chocolate chips and corn flacks. I finished in the kitchen, and then I went to the monkey room to play with the babies. my boss came in and asked if I could cover someone who went home sick, I was covering in the cheetah room. We played for a bit, and then it was time to clean up for lunch. All the kids went to sit for circle time while I got the tables and heat ups ready for lunch. Everyday after the kids finish lunch they go to the library to read a book while they wait for everyone to finish. we then moved to the computer to watch a short movie about Elf on the shelf.  We have an elf on the shelf, but some touched it! (oh-no) we had to read the book and watch the movie in hopes that our elf might get its magic back. The kids went to go put there lunch kits away and get dressed for outside. I went on my lunch break. After my break I put my outdoor stuff on and headed outside. I wasn't out for very long, because one of the girls had slipped on the ice and feel. I had to go inside and get her an ice pack and write a report. by the time I finished it the kids were coming inside.
We all got undressed and then played some more, and jumped on the trampoline until it was time to clean up and head to main room. I went with another staff to go and get the kinders, and wait for the school ager's. when we had everybody we went into the room to have snack and play. A lot of the school ager's were playing card games, some were making forts. we all watched that same elf on the shelf movie that we watched with the cheetahs. it was then time for me to go.
   when I got home I ate left over pizza, because I wanted to eat something quick before I went to Zumba. today In Zumba we had another Instructor, because are regular one is on holiday. I have done Zumba with this instructor before, so I know some of the songs she does. the different thing. or the harder thing with a different instructor is that they do some of the same song, but they do it completely differently, or slightly change it. there were some song that our regular instructor does, but it was different in my head I was thinking of the normal one I do, while I was doing the new one. if that makes sense.  Zumba was finished so we went home. I had a shower, and had ice cream. I wrote and watched a bit of YouTube before bed.
Good night.

Blogmas 2017 Day 2 & 3- cupcake making + bake sale

Blogmas day 2
Hello, welcome back to another day of blogmas.
How is everyone doing today?
This morning I got up and went downstairs to eat some honey nut cheerios, after I finished my breakfast I went to go sit by the fire for a little bit. I got up after sitting by the fire to make chocolate cupcakes for the bake sale. I found the recipe on Pinterest. this was a quick and easy recipe to make.
by the time I finished baking the cupcakes, it was lunch time. for lunch I eat leftover Chinese. my sister helped me make labels for my baking, when that was finished I tried to help her come up with craft ideas for Sunday school. I am not creative, so I wasn't that helpful.
 I made my icing in the evening, I made it later than I planned on. I bought some new piping tips, so I tried out those. I really like the look of them. I finally finished decorating, and cleaned up. I went to bed.
Good night.
 So I am not off to a very good start to blogmas. It is only day 2 and I forgot to finish. so I am combining day 2 & 3 in one.

 Blogmas day 3
Hello, welcome back to blogmas days.
this morning I got up and got ready for church, I packed up all my baking and went to church. when I got to church, I went downstairs to unload my baking and put it with the rest of the goodies. I went to go up to help with Sunday school. I went to go check on how the bake sale was gong. all the pretzel hugs were gone, most of my cupcakes were gone, and some of my ginger snaps were gone.
After church I went out for lunch at Boston pizza. Then after lunch we had to go grocery shopping, and some shopping.
We got home and unloaded the grocery's. I went to write and watch T.V. for supper we had soup and egg salad sandwiches. I watched Home alone, and then went to bed. before falling asleep I listened to a podcast called "pretending to be batman helps kids focus" from brain stuff, and another one called "cake: so great, so so Great" from stuff you should know.  I went to sleep after that.
good night.

Blogmas 2017 day 1 - first day!

hello, welcome to another year of blogmas. I hope you are as excited to read it as I am to write it!
 Good morning, happy first day of December, and the first day of blogmas.
this morning I woke up and got dressed to go to work.  I was tired and I didn't want to get out of my warm bed.
Today was parent teacher, and an in service day at the school. that means we have two groups of kids in one room, (the sharks, and the cheetahs.) and the school ager's in the other room for the whole day. These day are always the busiest. I was volunteering in the with the monkeys (toddlers) in the morning, because I knew I would be with the sharks in the afternoon when I went into ratio. I went to get some different books for the monkeys, so I took all there old book and took them to the shed. I thought that they said the books were on the left in the back. I looked there in the shed, I could find any books. there so many things in the shed, it took me a while to find books. they wanted wintery/ Christmas books. I finally found some books, I don't think it was what they were talking about because there was just a little stack. I was about to go in and get help, then I turned around and found a lot of book on the right when I walked in. I looked at the books, and I didn't look through all the books, but I only found one Christmassy one. I grabbed a bunch and then went back to the monkey room to put them on there book shelf.
 there was a hot lunch for the kids. it was grilled cheese, tomato soup, and these zucchini chips. I helped the babies with lunch, and then brought the nap beds to the monkey room. After I finished this I went to the shark room to help with lunch. This hot lunch was not as stressful as most hot lunch days. The past hot lunches were wraps, which has a tortilla wrap, meat, cheese, veggies, and a salad. with this meal we have all the staff running around giving the kids the food. its really crazy! this meal was chill. lunch was over, and I cleaned up the tables. I played with the sharks while the cheetahs ate there lunch. after we played with toys of a bit, we all cleaned up and sat down on the carpet. some kids went outside, and some stayed in. the ones who were going outside went to go get ready, the ones who stayed inside went to go play. I stayed inside with another staff. once everyone got outside and settled, I went into the kitchen to finish off the dishes. I played with the kids some more until i0 went home.
  I got home and then we needed to clean, cause we had people coming over to watch the jest game.
my mom was planning on making pizza, then we got half way home and then she said why don't we just order Chinese instead, so we don't have to make anything. we went to the lake trail restaurant to order.
after I ate I put my pretzel hugs, and ginger snaps into bags for the bake sale at my church. I finished and then I wrote, and watched Juno.
I went to bed after I finished writing.
Good night!
