Super S'more

Its that time of year again! Summer vacation is coming and families are getting ready for their annual camping trip! I have got a little idea to put a twist in your trip this year!

You are probably used to the old fashion S'more. This year I have a better idea for you. You will still need the basic ingredients (chocolate, marshmallows, and graham crackers.) Instead before you roast the marshmallow, shove a piece of chocolate in between two marshmallows! Be careful not to let the melted chocolate fall out. Now you can put it in between the crackers. Taste that melted chocolate in your your mouth? Mmmm mmmm good!

April Fools Memory

Last year my parents pulled a really great prank on my siblings and me. For dinner they said we were going to have meatloaf, mash potatoes, and peas. Little did we know we were going to have the very opposite. Instead of meatloaf, mash potatoes, and peas; we had a dessert dinner! For the meatloaf they made rice crispy treats with coco puffs to make it look like meatloaf. For mash potatoes they used ice cream and caramel (for the gravy.) Then they used heated up, green, now or later candies for the peas copped up and rolled into pea forms). When we all sat down for dinner and ate. We were shocked!

Sing Language Lesson 1

Every Tuesday I will be posting a lesson on how to sign. This weeks first lesson is the alphabet and numbers one through ten. A key thing to remember when signing is, Sign Language is a totally different language than English. That means it even has its own grammar which you will learn later.

Alphabet

Numbers 1-10

April Fools Day!

If you need a good trick, you have come to the right place! Just follow these easy steps.

1. Collect as many as alarm clocks as possibly. The more piercing sound, the better.
   
2. Before you go to bed, hide the alarm clocks in your house and set them to a very early time.
3. When your victims wake up, they will be trying to find the alarm clocks.

Got Cracks on Your Fingertips?

If you have little cracks on your fingertips, I've got the right solution!

• First, you need to soak your hands in warm water for about 10 minutes.
• Then immediately coat them in lotion.
  
• Put gloves on to rehydrate the hands. It also keeps soaps, chemicals, and dust away from the cracks.
  

The heavier the lotion, the better. You can also use Vaseline. Or use a lotion or cream that has alphahydroxy acid.

The lotion may sting a little because of the cracks, but it will go away after a few days. It will take 2-4 weeks to produce noticeable results.
