Recipe for Red-Letter Day

We had the awesome privilege of attending Parker and Luke's Open House on Monday night.

Luke was supposed to have had his first baseball game of the season that night and was plumb ticked when he realized it had been canceled due to Open House. He was confused, unbelieving and then he got mad!! He wanted to know who the president of the youth association was and he wanted his phone number so he could call him and try to persuade him to let them play!! When he couldn't get that information, he just broke down and cried like a baby!! So disappointed!!

I was looking back through all the special things we brought home from that night and read (instead of skimmed) an interesting assignment that Parker had done. It is titled Recipe for Red-Letter Day and this is how it reads: (as Parker wrote it)
