To be a boat...

Today my little brother and i made some :::PAPER BOATS::: together.♥

We made 10. Well, i made 9 and he made 1. But i’ll just say we made 10. Cause that’s just better.

We love boats

We love boats

Then i had a smashing idea. Since my little brother and i had so much fun making these paper boats we decided to show you how. Follow the directions and put any twists and turns on your boat as you want. Cause twists and turns are the best.

first you must make a paper hat.

Bring the ends together

Bring the ends together

And flatten it sideways

And flatten it sideways

Then you turn one corner up

Then you turn one corner up

Then the other one

Then the other one

Again bring the ends together

Again bring the ends together

And flatten it sideways

And flatten it sideways

Then gently pull the ends open

Then gently pull the ends open

And there is your boat!

And there is your boat!

Now you go fill the bathtub up and go float your boat! Don’t forget the army men, indians, and cowboys to put in the boats. That makes it even more smashing.

Lately i’ve really been enjoying cooking and baking. Which is kind of weird for me cause i don’t do it a whole lot. I can’t say i’m wonderful at it, but hey, it’s fun. A couple days ago i decided to make some pancakes. I thought i would share the recipe with you.
