Join us as we plan our summer adventures, munch on CJ's Famous Sandwiches and - of course - tell a few Cheesy Jokes!

CHEESY JOKE TIME #1
Q. What do you get when you cross a bear with a skunk?
A. Winne the Pee-eww!! Par-rum-pum-ch!
REVIEW OF THE WEEK
This week, we’re reviewing the
Pokemon Johto Series Mini Plush Pichu.
This Officially Licensed Pokemon Product is approximately 6" tall and weighs 13 ounces.
Product DescriptionPokemon Mini Plush Figures are so cute and soft.
(Seriously. That's the description!)
CJ’s ThoughtsThis plush really is cute, cuddly and has a happy face.
2 thumbs up.
The Webmom’s ThoughtsI wasn't too sure I wanted to spend a little over $20 on a plush toy since CJ is a slightly older child now. I was pleasantly surprised at how this product looks like the character it was modeled after. Pichu really looks like Pichu.
I have to agree with CJ totally on this one. Cute, cuddly, has a happy face and made of durable cloth material. Plus, it's one of CJ's all-time favorite Pokemon characters so it's a win-win.
2 thumbs up.
OverallIt's a great product for Pokemon fans. Like all Poke-products, this one is almost guaranteed to sell out and restock at a significantly higher price. We recommend getting one now and taking good care of it. The last time we checked, there were only 2 left.
IN THE KITCHEN WITH CHEF CJ
This week, we're sharing a special treat: CJ's Famous Sandwiches!
CJ does actually make lunch sometimes and this is his go-to favorite.
What You’ll Need - Bread
- Lettuce
- Tomato
- Bologna

- Spreading Knife (the kind that isn't sharp)
Step 1Have an adult help you slice the tomato.
Step 2Place 4 slices of tomato on one side of bread.
Step 3Place a sandwich-sized piece of lettuce on the tomato. Or shredded lettuce, if you prefer.
Step 4Drop some mayonnaise onto the lettuce. As little or as much as you like.
Step 5Place the bologna on top of the mayonnaise.
Step 6Put the second slice of bread on top of the bologna.
Step 7Cut your delicious sandwich into triangles. You can skip this step if you'd like.

PROJECT OF THE WEEK
This week's project comes from
Nat Geo Kids and is called “Summer Fun: Make a List!”
The long weeks of summer fun stretch ahead of you. You'll have more time to spend with your friends and family since you won't have to worry about homework.
You probably have some great ideas for what to do to fill up the next few months. Why not make a list with your parents? Fill it with all the cool things you want to be sure to do as a family before the summer ends.
What You’ll Need- A large sheet of paper or posterboard
- A pen or permanent marker
- Gold star stickers (other colors are fine, too!)
- Markers (optional)
- Other stickers, glitter glue, and other decorative touches (optional)
Step 1Sit down with your family and talk about the things you might like to do this summer. Create columns of different types of activities (such as things to learn, things to make, places to go, and so on), then fill them in.
Step 2 Decorate your list! Draw pictures of the things you’ll be doing. Let your imagination run wild!
Step 3Each time you complete an activity on your list, mark it with a gold star. See how many stars you can collect before you go back to school.
[Keep watching
kids.nationalgeographic.com for fun
summer activity ideas you can add to your list!]
CHEESY JOKE TIME #2
Q. What do you call an alligator that goes undercover?
A. An investi-gator!! Par-rum-pum-ch!
