VooDoo

So, Mike had another band concert, and this one was... what's the word(s)... OFF THE HOOK!!! They did this awsome piece called VooDoo!It was absoultely amazing. Mike did an amazing job. They also did The Phantom of the Opera, but I probably won't put it on here. In the middle of the song a girl screamed in the middle, but we missed it on the recorder by like a second, too bad you can't rewind time. It would have been awesom, my brother says they added that part though. By the way, all the extra noises are either on their instruments or they actually made them.

Cooking Mishap

The cookies

The Bowl

Yesterday, Stephanie went babysitting and was gone all afternoon. As a favor we decided to make her cookies that she would need today, Sunday, for her branch she goes to. Dad told mom and I to triple the batch so we would have extras for us, so we did. Dad and Michael were downstairs and never realized how big of a bowl we had to get out to cook. We started in a smaller normal size cooking bowl, but then we had to get the big metal stirring bowl out to miz all the ingredients. We transfered the 12 cups of sugar and brown sugar and crisco to the bigger bowl and continued. We used a dozen eggs and now we don't have many eggs left in our fridge. We had to go buy more vanilla so we could finish. We thought about starting over, but then thought "no because we were so far along." We finished and started baking. We were up late watching Hairspray and Star Wars episode 6 Return of the Jedi. We never finished the cookies and ended up freezing a lot of extra cookie dough. Dad later told us that he was just kidding about tripling them, but he was a little too late! The picture above doesn't even include the leftover cookie dough. ANYBODY WANT COOKIES?
