5 Practice Makes Perfect

5. Practice Makes Perfect. Saturday. Today, I started to paint the talent show set. Lucy came over to keep me company - and to work on her contest entries. Since I am planning the festival, I won't be entering the contests. So I wanted to help Lucy!

5. 熟能生巧。 星期六。今天，我开始画才艺表演的布景。 露西过来陪我，并为她的参赛作品做准备。 因为我正在策划这个节日，所以我不会参加比赛。 所以我想帮助露西！

I gave her my yummiest cupcake recipe for the bake-off. Eva's Scrummy Cupcakes 1 cup birdseed 1 cup flour 1 cup acorns 2 slugs - Mix everything together - Bake for 20 minutes - Let cupcakes cool - Put loads of icing on top - Enjoy! I promised to help her bake after school on Wednesday. That way, her cupcakes will be super - fresh for Thursday's contest.

我把我最好吃的小蛋糕食谱给了她。 1杯鸟食1杯面粉1杯橡子2个鼻涕虫-把所有的东西混合在一起-烤20分钟-让纸杯蛋糕冷却-在上面放上大量的糖霜-享受！我答应星期三放学后帮她烤面包。 那样的话，她的小蛋糕在周四的比赛中就会超级新鲜。

Next, I helped Lucy choose an outfit for the fashion show.

接下来，我帮露西选了一套参加时装秀的衣服。

Then she painted a picture of her pet lizard, Rex, for the art show. That was such a HOOT! I drew a picture of Baxter wearing a bunny costume, too.

然后她为她的宠物蜥蜴雷克斯画了一幅画，准备参加艺术展。 那真是太好笑了！我也画了一幅巴克斯特穿着兔子服装的画。

Just before bed, I helped Lucy practice some dance moves for the talent show. Baxter really liked our moves!

就在睡觉前，我帮露西练习了一些舞蹈动作，准备参加才艺表演。 巴克斯特真的很喜欢我们的舞步！

Humphrey did not. Ha! You two look like a couple of crazy flamingoes doing the cha-cha! He is such a squirrel-head. I didn't finish painting the set today. But I have all day tomorrow. So don't worry, Diary. ANYHOOT, this festival is going to be great!

汉弗莱没有。哈!你们俩看起来就像一对疯狂的火烈鸟在跳恰恰！他真是个松鼠脑袋。 我今天没把布景刷完。 但是我明天有一整天的时间。 所以别担心，日记。不管怎样，这个节日一定会很棒的！
