The hardest part of the preparation was finding all the ingredients. The whole family came with us and we eventually found what we needed after 4 stores. We had made Cinnamon Rolls plus spaghetti and spinach artichoke dip. It was a messy process and it took a lot longer to complete than i would've bet on. The Cinnamon rolls is what took the longest. But what was unique about the spaghetti was the simple fact that we didn't use pasta. Instead we used a vegetable called spaghetti squash. It looks like a mix between a pumpkin and a cucumber but if you microwave it for five minutes and then get a fork to scrape off the noodles, add marinara sauce and there is no taste in difference to pasta.]]> 2017-05-18 15:37:57 UTC https://padlet.com/carl_rasmussen1783/4apdseo0x3g3/wish/172615916 carl_rasmussen1783 https://padlet.com/carl_rasmussen1783/4apdseo0x3g3/wish/172618128 I am a TA at the library third period and i discovered free coloring book pages and so i copped 4 pages and a small handful of utensils to color with. I have always liked coloring but its been years since i last done so because it feels like a waste of time. The four pages that i did though were very unique and passed descent amount of time during the sluggish part of life. Coloring the pages wasn't actually the highlight of my day but it did have Miss Thrashers class fly by. Honestly I don't know if i am any good with the picking the right colors to use but i think they came out kinda descent. The cheap crayons kept breaking on me but i don't like to waste anything and used them up anyhow. I also couldn't stop coloring until they were all finished and I mean FINISHED. ]]> 2017-05-18 15:42:01 UTC https://padlet.com/carl_rasmussen1783/4apdseo0x3g3/wish/172618128 carl_rasmussen1783 https://padlet.com/carl_rasmussen1783/4apdseo0x3g3/wish/172626172 My intensive to this option of the project was the fact that my phone didn't charge completely by the time i woke up in the morning for school. 15% battery life wasn't worth the effort to carry around so i left it behind on the charger. I bet ten dollars that most people would've just brought their charger along with them but for the sake of this project i chose to leave that behind. I've gone camping for weeks at a time without electronics so i know i can handle it. Surprisingly the first few periods of school I would subconsciously look for my phone but ultimately realized  that its a waste of time because i just didn't have it. When i came back home i didn't leave it until i caught up on games and people. I am a gamer, always have been. You would be able to tell simply by looking at the apps on my phone. I have Neflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime so right away you can also tell i watch the best shows. I only have one page of games but the page is full! i have Hitman Go and Polytopia both strategy turnbased games. More of the common games i own is Boom Beach, Clash of Clans, Clash Royale and War Dragons. Not so typical games but just as fun because they are so easy to play is Run Sackboy! Run, Crab War, Burrito Bison, and War Robots. To be honest I do not play all these games everyday or sometimes for months but i do keep them on my phone because I am always surrounded by the young gamers and its fun to teach/talk about games. I don't mind letting them play at all because they progress my games without me lifting a finger. I've had my phone stolen and the stupid theif called my mom to ask for money but me and my cousin pressed him hard in person and got my phone back without paying a penny.]]> 2017-05-18 16:08:24 UTC https://padlet.com/carl_rasmussen1783/4apdseo0x3g3/wish/172626172 carl_rasmussen1783 https://padlet.com/carl_rasmussen1783/4apdseo0x3g3/wish/172627999 Sienna asked me for any and all pennies i might have and after giving no more than ten cents I asked what it was for. She said she needed a total of one hundred pennies in order to buy a tasty snack. The reason she specified on the pennies is because she was dared to and she took the challenge asking all her peers within earshot for some pennies. She got to eighty something the last i heard. She didn't tell me what exactly she bought with the money or if she got enough pennies to get what she wanted. It was memorable to me because this took up like half of your class Miss Serna the  other half was spent reading and annotating articles/short stories.

I used one of my pocket knifes to carve out the batman symbol out of black Styrofoam its super legit and i even can trace the symbol on paper like i already did on a blank spot on one of my coloring book pages. The second artsy thing i did was build a 3-D cardboard cut out of Sponge Bob Square Pants. The coolest part about it is that its also a piggy bank. I am certain i am not the only Sponge Bob fan and i am also certain that Sponge Bob has changed the lives of children for the better. I am not up to date with the show but the numerous episodes that i have watched were hilarious and the cute stupidity of the characters always cracks me up.]]> 2017-05-18 16:28:15 UTC https://padlet.com/carl_rasmussen1783/4apdseo0x3g3/wish/172631524 carl_rasmussen1783 https://padlet.com/carl_rasmussen1783/4apdseo0x3g3/wish/173180773 I gave flowers  to my best friend. Her name is Reyna and she is four years old. She is the best little person to be with because she is so brave and her motives so pure. All she wants to do is be with a friend. She is a great swimmer and loves to hit up multiple parks, ride bikes or to just play with woodblocks on the bed. Reyna is so open minded. She is down for any activity i bring up. As implied she has boundless energy and laughter. I never feel insecure around Reyna or her family and would gladly lay my life down for them. Reyna is my Cousins daughter. Garrett works everyday and is beat by the time he comes home. Reyna's Mother is Raven and she's a great mom but because of her limp she cannot keep up with Reyna at parks etc. I live only three miles from their home and i try to come over everyday. Not only to be Reyna's Best friend but to see my friend's as well.]]> 2017-05-22 15:49:30 UTC https://padlet.com/carl_rasmussen1783/4apdseo0x3g3/wish/173180773
