Homework solution for Dena

As the semester comes to a close I thought I'd share my solution for homework woes next semester!
Happy almost summer break everyone!

Intergalactic student exchange program

My niece Darien has a gigantic imagination and has been a foreign exchange student to other planets many a time. Now the really interesting part is that each time she goes to another planet the alien child comes here in her place. And so begins the teaching of the alien child all about living on earth. Yesterday I found out that Spencer went with Darien into the exchange program and this week I am living with Aggiggi from the planet Azuka and Charlotte at her house is hosting Ado from Azuka. These little aliens are cousins from Azuka who wanted to learn all about earth so it was a perfect opportunity for Spencer and Darien to head out to another planet for the week.
These silly aliens even needed educated about what is ok to eat. On their planet evidently they eat "things" not "food" so we had to direct them to the edible options for dinner. Darien, er, I mean Ado, says she much prefers walls and tables for dinner than this strange earth food. Spencer (oops, I mean Aggiggi) informed me last night that eating broccoli can kill alien children and he must avoid it to live. It should be an interesting few days ahead!
Good thing we didn't have anything big and important planned for this week! I can't wait for Spencer to get home to tell me what it was like in outer space!
Have I mentioned that these kids are some of the funnest around? I love seeing what they come up with, they are always having so much fun!

Cookies Cookies Cookies!

Spencer has been busy this weekend selling cookie dough for his school fund raiser. He is very motivated to win the i-pod by selling enough tubs of cookie dough! Trouble is is that he needs to sell 75 tubs to win the i-pod and that is a lot of tubs of dough for mom to deliver when it comes in! He is doing well though and has already sold 28!!!
He has become quite the salesman, even finding ways to sell cookie dough to people who do not like cookies! There is an M&M cookie dough that Spencer has pointed out that if you don't like cookies you just pick out the M&M's and eat them, get rid of the other part!
I talked with Spencer about what he would do with the i-pod and why it was the prize he was so excited about. He said he wants his very OWN i-pod so he can put his favorite music on it, (The Devil Went Down to Georgia~Charlie Daniel's Band, Cowboy~Kid Rock, I Wanna Talk About Me~Toby Keith, St. Mo~Moses Guest and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer~Burl Ives). And then he informed me that Gran puts books with no pictures on her i-pod but with someone as smart as Uncle Colin around we could figure out how to put books WITH pictures on an i-pod!
