Little Rebecca on the Prairie

A Dollightful Tea

This rainy Sunday afternoon Rebecca and Brooklyn were sitting in the living room, each doing their thing.

Rebecca was sitting reading her new geography book in her favorite corner. Geography is her favorite subject.

Brooklyn as sitting on the other side of Beck, and was eating chips and petting the cat aimlessly. She was bored.

She had already read all the american girl magazines that they owned, and she had almost eaten all the chips.

She finally asked Rebecca, "What should I do Beck? I am bored." Rebecca was very good at thinking of things for people to do, and so she said to Brooklyn, "How about having a tea party?"

"That's a great idea, Beck! I will be right back." Then She disappeared into the kitchen.

 A few minutes later she came back from the kitchen with a nice tea tray.

Rebecca and Brooklyn prepared their peppermint tea with sugar and milk, and then they each drank two cups of it! "This is delicious," said Rebecca. Brooklyn said, "Thank you!"

             
                                                                        Yum yum!

After tea Rebecca went back to reading and Brooklyn went back to eating chips and petting the cat, grateful for a rainy Sunday with her sister.

Kit comes to play

 Rebecca was exited! Kit was coming over soon to play. Ding dong, went the doorbell. Rebecca jumped up and ran to the door. "Hello Kit!" "Hi Beck!"

First they played with their american girl dolls.

Then they danced. "This is fun," said Kit.

"Look at this cool trick," Rebecca said. "Wow!" Kit said.

Then Beck said, "Kit, what's in your bag?" "I'll show you," said Kit.

"Cool! paper dolls!" Said Beck. Rebecca played with Addy and Kit played with Harriet.
.

Sadly, after fifteen minutes of playing paper dolls, it was time for Kit to go home. "Goodbye," Rebecca called to Kit, "see you later!" What a fun play date it had been!

 

A Picnic

It was a beautiful fall day and Rebecca decided that the girls should go on a picnic.
"Brooklyn and Kirsten, I say we go on a picnic in the park today. It looks lovely outside." "Yes," said the girls, "But what shall we bring to eat?" Beck thought a moment, and then said, "I will pack a surprise lunch." In no time at all they were at the park.

Kirsten and Brooke looked away while Rebecca unpacked the lunch. The dogs had come along, and were sniffing inside the box.
 

Finally Rebecca said, "Okay, you can look now!" The girls looked and smiled.

"Oh yum!" They cried together. "That's a lot of food!"

They grabbed their plates and began to load them. {Rebecca gave the dogs each a meat patty.}

Then the ate while the warm sun shone down on them.

They each got the things that they liked, and of course, some veggies to go with it.

Brooklyn was a quick eater and finished first. She told the other girls, "The dogs want to play. I'll go throw them balls.

 

Brooklyn threw balls to the dogs for awhile until it was time to leave. It had been a wonderful picnic!

 



Kirsten's Crafts Number 1: Make a Baking Tray!

Hello! This is Kirsten. I was hoping that every week I could share a craft project for you to make. This week I'm showing how to make a baking tray I hope you like it!

This what the finished product looks like. Anyways, lets get started.

Here's what you will need: A piece of cardboard, clear tape, scissors, aluminum foil, and a toothpick {optional}.

Use the scissors to cut the cardboard the size that you want your baking tray to be.

Than cut a piece of foil big enough to wrap all the way around your piece of cardboard.

Place the cardboard in the center of the foil putting the shiny side of the foil down. Now tightly fold the foil over the edge of the cardboard.

Tape it down.

Then repeat with the other three sides, folding and taping.

It should look like this.

Now flip it over. This is the front. Bend the top edge to make it look more realistic.

Then use the toothpick to carefully engrave the company name into the foil, being careful not to rip it.

Now your done!
