Hi there! Wowzah! We haven’t chatted in a WHILE. Not gonna lie, the last week has been chaotic. Fun, but really chaotic.
On Monday, we drove up to Bend, Oregon, to see our family friends, the Stovals. Well, we drove up on Monday so we could eat at a REALLY good restaurant called Jackson’s Corner. No, seriously, REALLY GOOD. I got AMAZING pepperoni pizza (I ate about 9/12 of the slices) and for dessert I got Stracciatella (STRAT-CHEE-UH-TELL-UH) gelato. Somehow, the gelato was EVEN TASTIER than the pizza.
THE END.
Haha, just kidding.
THEEEEEEEEEEEN…we went to our hotel and went to bed. Exciting, I know.
THE END.
Okay, okay, fine. I’ll stop with that.
Anyway, where were we? Ah yes. THEEEEEEEEEEEN…we went shopping on Tuesday morning. I got some new shoes and the Morty Zone (a Rick and Morty Board Game).
Then we saw the Stovals and went down to a river where we splashed in the water, ate a bunch of chocolate sweets (PLEASE NOTE: If you are my mom or dad, we only are ONE peanut butter cup and THREE chocolate pretzels), and then got really good kabobs, pita bread, and rice.
On Wednesday we went on a short hike. And also passed a farm that was selling alpacas. SUCH A MISSED OPPORTUNITY! Mom, Dad, if you are reading this I will hold a grudge for a WHILE. I mean, who wouldn’t want an alpaca named Alfonso! Anywho, the hike was fun, if you forget the part where we all sweated our brains out. Then we drove home. Three hours. One car. Two grown-ups, a teen, a tween, and a baby. It sounds like the scariest horror movie EVER. Thankfully, I survived…
In other news, my dad showed me this REALLY funny video about the history of the entire world! Yes, there IS a bit of cursing, so if you aren’t comfortable with that, you can skip it. I suggest watching it, though. It is HYSTERICAL!
Also, here are some of my favorite SNL kids’ doll ad skits!
Finally, it’s time for the moment you’ve been waiting for…
ACTOR OF THE WEEK!
Yay!
Patton Oswalt!
Patton has one of those faces, y’know? I feel like he has been in EVERYTHING!
If you want to get more specific, he has been in Teen Titans Go! To The Movies, Veronica Mars, Modak, Ratatouille, BoJack Horseman, The Secret Life Of Pets 2, Penguin Town, and more. Check out all of his other films and tv shows here!!!
Thanks for reading!

P.S. This weekend, it is supposed to get up to 111°F so yesterday, my parents used reusable plastic popsicle bags and Honest Kids juice to make homemade organic popsicles! The flavors are Grape, Fruit Punch, and Watermelon Lemonade! It is a super fun and easy recipe to make! You literally pour in a juice of your choice, let it freeze, and eat it quickly so that your siblings don’t ask for a bite. Sorry, that last step hit close to home. Have a great weekend!
