The Lunar Chronicles (Fionnuala)

Hi readers of The Four Sparkly Dolphins! Today I am going to be reviewing the book series I am currently reading, The Lunar Chronicles.
It's really entertaining and I can't stop reading it.
Right now, I'm on the third book, Cress.
So pretty much the whole series is a modern fairytale. It's a mashup of Cinderella, Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, and Snow White.
There's cyborgs, people from the moon, earthens, wolf-people, and others.

These books are so amazing and I am planning to have the series finished very soon. I have been reading 100 pages a day, so I'm making good progress.

I recommend this book for 5th graders to high schoolers.
YOU SHOULD READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!


Ok bye!

Highschool! (Fionnuala)

Hi guys! Today Sarah and I have been getting intense vibes and realizations that WE ARE GOING TO HIGHSCHOOL!!!! I mean literally this is the thing I have been dreaming about this day for years and years. Every game I played when I was younger was set in high school. Words just cannot describe how excited I am!!!!! Advanced classes, more people, RANDOM SPURS OF SPORADIC, PERFECTLY CHOREOGRAPHED DANCING AND SINGING ROUTINES, and much more.
I know, I know high school won't be as always imagined in The High School Musical Series

You've just gotta get'cha head in the game. It's the only way it's going to work out. I mean Troy.

I have no idea what to expect in high school and I am so nervous yet so excited at the same time. :)
I know today's post isn't a long one, but it's meaningful.
THE FOUR SPARKLY DOLPHINS ARE GOING TO HIGH SCHOOL I AM GOING TO HIGH SCHOOL. WE ARE GOING TO HIGH SCHOOL.
HIGH SCHOOL
I'm sorry today's post is kind of lame, but I do not have any more time to work on it. I once again tried. BYEEEEEEE!

How to make Pancakes!!! (Fionnuala)

Hello readers of the absolutely amazing FOUR SPARKLY DOLPHINS! I feel like I've been making a lot of lists, so I decided I would make a how-to for pancakes!
First let's gather some ingredients!
  • 1 cup of all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoon of baking powder 
  • 1/2 a teaspoon of salt 
  • 1 cup of milk
  • 2 tablespoons of butter (plus extra butter for the skillet)
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon of oil

Now let's start the procedure!
  1. Heat a skillet and pour a mixture of oil and butter into it. 
  2. In a bowl, combine all the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar)
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients (milk, butter, and an egg)
  4. Now, pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and combine. 
  5. After the mixture is well mixed, Add in any "extras" you wish to add (chocolate chips, blueberries, etc.) 
  6. Pour a certain amount of mixture into the heated skillet and wait until the pancake is bubbling in the middle. Flip the pancake and wait until it is browned decently. 
  7. Finish the batter by cooking the pancakes.
  8. Enjoy!!!!!








Thank you, thank you! But now I need to give creds to where they deserve! So this recipe is originally Martha Stewart's. I did make some modifications, but the base recipe is the great Martha 
Stewart's!

 Ok well that concludes my post for today oh ya I'm going to say 
RABBIT!!!! (It's good luck to say rabbit in the first of a month)
