Will it grow? Part 3

Okay, time to check on my flower again.  I wonder if it has made any progress since last time.

Hmmm!  Oh no!  Something is beary wrong.  I don't see the sprouts anywhere.  Maybe I gave it too much water?  Not enough water?  Too much sun?  Not enough sun?

*Sigh*  I guess I just don't have a green paw like my other stuffie friends.

Will it grow? Part 2

Hello everyone.  It's been a couple of days since I planted the poppy seeds so let's take a look and see if there is any growing action going on.

Hmm!  It looks like something is sprouting from the soil.  I added a little more water.

I'll check on it again in another couple of days.

Will it grow?

I asked my mom if we could have a garden and she said she is working on that, but she gave me a mini gardening kit to play with in the meantime.  I guess this will have to do.  This is a growing kit for poppies.

Let's see what's inside the kit.  A pot, seeds, and growing soil.

I followed the directions and put the soil in a cup, adding a little bit of water.

Then I took some seeds and planted them in the pot.  They are beary small.

Then I placed the pot on the windowsill for some sunshine.  Now I just have to wait!  Will it grow?  I'll check back in a couple of days.

Beanie mail

I recently was the winner of Beanie Mouse's prize draw - what a lucky bear I am!  Look at all the unique things Beanie made.  I got lots of cards and bookmarks.

This is my favorite card.

Beanie also sent me a pin of a London double decker bus.  I have proudly pinned it to my bear cub scout uniform.

  Thanks for all the cool things, Beanie!

"Hey guys, do you know what today is?" I asked Ooogie and Uncle Tibbs.

"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?" asked Ooogie.

"Today is..." I paused for a dramatic effect.

"...MY 100TH BLOG POST!!"

"Wow!" Uncle Tibbs gasped.

That's right.  You are reading my 100th blog post at this very moment.  I'm so beary thankful for the friends I've made along the way and all of the exciting adventures I've had.  I didn't think I would keep blogging for this long, but it's a fun, creative outlet for my little bear imagination.

Let's celebrate with some confetti!

Thanks for reading my blog.  Stay tuned for more updates!

(By the way, my mom made me vacuum up the confetti afterwards.)

Tomatoes

I recently visited my grandparents' house.  It is always fun to visit because there is always a lot of good food there.  Anyways, I was asked to help harvest some tomatoes from their garden.  So let's get picking!

These tomatoes look nice and ripe, don't you think?

I'll get in there and give them a gentle tug.  *pop*  They came off of the plant so easily.

Hmm... it looks like someone has been enjoying our tomatoes.  My grandpa once put hot chili sauce on a decoy tomato for the squirrels and chipmunks, but they ate it anyway.  I guess they like spicy tomatoes.

Let's see if there are any other tomatoes ripe for picking.  These are still green...

So are these...

And these...

I guess that is all the ripe tomatoes for now.  But I did get quite a few.  These would be beary tasty in a fresh salad!

Popcorn

Today I felt like having a snack (what else is new?)  But for once, I did not feel like having honey or fish.  I instead opted for a nice, big bag of... popcorn!

I put the bag of popcorn in the microwave and pressed the "popcorn" setting.

Then I waited a few minutes for the popcorn to pop.  It started off slowly, but then I began to hear the pops... POP POP POP!

Here, you can listen to the pops in this video.

When the popcorn stopped popping, I carefully took it out of the microwave.  Be careful, it's beary hot.

Then I dumped the popcorn into a big bowl and brought it over to Uncle Tibbs and Ooogie.  Popcorn tastes better when you share it.

"Mmm, thanks Ajdin!"  Uncle Tibbs munched on a huge pawful.

"Popcoooooooooorn," Ooogie nibbled on a piece.

Do you like popcorn?

Puzzle

I was feeling bored today until my mom brought me something fun - it was a puzzle.

I took out the pieces and got ready to solve.  Would I be able to put this puzzle together?  I did one before, so I think I can do it again.

They say the trick to puzzle-solving is to start with the corners.  So that's exactly what I did.

After I did the corners, then I worked on the edges.  That left me with just one piece left.  I wonder where it goes.

I put it right in the center.

Ah, it's a puzzle of a fellow bear.  If it had a blue shirt, then it would be me.  This puzzle was too easy!  Do you like puzzles?

Bearthday mail

I received this fun bearthday card from my friends Jerry and Ben.  Isn't it cool? 

Thanks Jerry and Ben!
