oatmeal blueberry muffins

 Today mom and I made blueberry muffins. I did most of it all by myself! 
First I preheated the oven to 425 degrees F, then I got to work mixing all the ingredients.
 I made sure that I followed the recipe! 
But we were out of milk, so we used water instead and hoped that it would work!
 One of the best parts of baking is when I get to crack the eggs from our very own chickens.
 Next, pour in the blueberries.
Mix it well!

Bake them for 25 minutes....

and enjoy!

Eggaline


One sunday the chickens escaped from their yard so Tate went outside to put them back, but one chicken named Eggaline (my chicken) was left behind because Tate didn't see her. When we went to lock them up for the night that is when we noticed that she wasn't there. We looked and looked but we could not find her. We hoped we would find her in the morning. All night she was outside. I cried and cried. The next night when Mom was doing the chickens she thought she saw something move by the gate - it was Eggaline! Mom came up to the house and yelled, "EMMA". I came down. When I saw Eggaline I ran down the stairs and hugged her. Then we all put on our boots and put Eggaline back safely in the chicken coop. And that is how we found Eggaline, after thinking she was gone for good. I wish she could talk and tell me all about her adventure.
