Falcons Last Home Game!!!

Yesterday I went to a Falcons game at the high school. We were played Arch Bishop. We got there about 6:15, even though the game didn't start until 7:00. I saw a lot of people from the middle school, including the football players. We had carved pumpkins this weekend and made pumpkin seeds, so we brought them to the game, and all our friends and their friends came and ate some. When the game started everyone went crazy. The first goal was made by Arch Bishop during the first quarter. They also made another touchdown that quarter too. Eventually we got a touchdown, and the scoreboard read Guest:14... Home:7. As the game went on we made good plays and bad plays, but we played hard. Arch Bishop made a few more touchdowns, but our score stayed the same. By half time my throat was hoarse from cheering. During half time all the football players from my school lined up on the on the track, and the announcer called out their name and the position they played.

After half time was over the game continued. Arch Bishop scored another touchdown, and the Falcons kept on playing. By that time the temperature had dropped to about 34 degrees Fahrenheit, and I was freezing! My sisters, who couldn't sit still for 5 minutes, didn't seem to be cold at all. When Archbishop scored their last touchdown we decided to go home and get warm. The score ended up as Archbishop: 28 and Falcons: 7. I still think we won no matter how the score turned out. At least we scored some points, and we played hard, no matter what anyone else says. I liked watching the game, and if you went I hope you liked watching it to.

Chocolate-Peanut Butter Mud Pie Recipie

Ingredients

1 cup of peanut butter, creamy or chunky
1 (10-inch) prepared oreo crust
1 cup Nestle Toll House Semi-Sweet Chocolate Mini Morsels
3/4 cup of Nestle Nesquick Chocolate Flavored Syrup
1/4 cup of cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon of salt
2 cups of milk

Directions:

Spread peanut butter over bottom of crust ( works better if you soften it in the microwave). Sprinkle with morsels. Set aside.

Combine Nesquick, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan. Gradually stir in milk. Cook over medium heat, but stir frequently, so the mixture doesn't burn on the bottom of the saucepan. Stir until mixture comes to a boil. Then boil for 1 minute.

Pour filling into crust. Carefully place mud pie into refrigerator.. Refrigerate for 4 or until set. Top with whipped cream if desired before serving.

Bonn appetite!

Power Outage Poem

The wind howls
as I lie in my bed
It seems like everything is going through my head
I love the sound of the wind and the rain
but I don't love the cold it brings.

I wake up in the middle of the night
sometimes in a fright
other times I don't know were I am
but then I see
the power has gone out again.

So I go back to sleep again
not knowing the time
because my alarm clock went black
just like the night.

The next morning
it is light outside
and we don't have to go to school
their power is out too
so that is the rule.

Then I start to remember the summer nights
so warm and bright
I forget about the cold
and play with the flash lights.

Here I am again
waking up in the middle of the night
sometimes in a fright
other times I don't know were I am
but then I see
the power has gone out again!

Ted Reep Tournement!

The Ted Reep Tournament is a series of softball games you play when you finish the season. The top teams from the district compete. Whoever wins the Ted Reep Tournament goes on to the All Star games. The tournament was held in Mount Vernon that year. We, the Cardinals, where the top South Whidbey team. We won all of our games except for two. When we got there we saw a few teams that we had played before, but there were many teams we hadn't seen.The tournament has a total of three games. We lost one game, but we won the other two. I can play all the outfield positions, and sometimes second base. I made a few good plays. I fielded a grounder and we ended up getting a double play at first and second base. We won the Ted Reep Tournament, and we took a team picture with the trophey. I was so excited. I will always remember those games.
