Hi.

Hi! my ankle has been feeling better everyday! soon I will have the darn wrapping off and be allowed to go to P.E class again. I really want to try out for a few teams at school. Anyways Yesterday I went outside and finally finished "Really truly Ruthie" I lost the book for a while, you see, I found it under my bed a few days ago ;)

I hope everyone is having a good weekend and don't get to much work this week ^.^

School dayz

This monday sasha had her first day of school. The teacher introduced her to the class and showed her where to sit, She was put in the front room. I was sort of surprised to see her in my class, 'cause she seems alot younger than me.

Because my school is so small alot of the classes are split. My building has: a few really smart 3rd graders and maybe 5 or 6 fourth graders, so about 9 kids in one room.
5 fifth graders and about ten 6th graders in the other room. the rooms aren't really seperated so we all sorta share three teachers. (well two teachers and one intern.)

After lunch we went outside. We showed Sasha around the school yard and the different building and who the nicest teachers were. ^.^
The teacher let us take an extra long break to show "this sweet little gal" around.  Kirsten brought out a big blanket and her drawing pad. We spent the rest of the school day getting to know each other and telling stories. Sasha told us that she has never been camping! can you believe that?! She said that where she used to live they weren't any forests around them. She still hasn't told us where she moved from. 

Hows school going for everyone? I think schools fun. The art teacher is really mean though :(

and she thinks that I skip art class. >:( oh well, that;s life ^.o

Snow! snow! snow!

More snow again today. We had another snow day today. I invited Gia over to play in the snow. It's to our knees! We went sledding and then baked some chocolate cookies. Which turned out great by the way. We were going to go outside after we baked cookies but unfortunatly the snow was starting to melt and our snow suits were very soggy. :P

P.S Doll dairies is having a giveaway, Check it out!

New girl on the block.

New girl on the block

It was a nice, sunny day today so I went out for a walk. I went around the old miller pond and past the fallen tree. I was walking a pretty unknown trail so, as you can imagine, I was startled to see a young girl in the distance. She was wearing a pair of leggings that came to her knees, paired with a skirt, sleevless shirt and a rather thin looking jacket.

UH OH! She’s heading my way! I ducked into a bush and then up a tree. Between branches I could see her.

She looked about my age. Maybe a little younger . She didn’t look like she knew where she was going. . .but she didn’t look lost either. I stayed in the tree until she passed. Since I hadn’t made any plans for the day I decided to follow her. I tracked her down the trail a ways.

It's been rather rainy lately, so it didn't take long for the girl to slip on the muddy trail. Escpecially in those shoes. She looked sad and frustrated. Then She started to cry.

She told me her name was Sasha. She used to live in the Big city, but her father got a job opportunity that he couldn't turn down. We talked for awhile. That seemed to cheer her up. I showed her around some of my favorite hiding spots and some good hiking trails. She was kinda slow. But I don't blame her. I thought maybe she had really good grip shoes. but the soles were just flat. Good thing I took her on the flat-none muddy areas ^.o

She gave me her address and we promised to visit each other. as soon as she got settled in her new house.

New years!

HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE! the year pasted so quickly!

on new years eve I was invited to a party with my family. Kirsten, Gia and piper were there too.

Even little annie came along. :P

 I got a new dress for new years this year. It's so nice and I love the velvety feel. ^.^

It looks great with my warm hood.

We ran outside when the clock struck midnight! Some of the adults lite some fireworks, they were very loud, We were afraid that they would scare Annie but she just giggled in delight and awe.

We all regretted not wearing shoes, the deck was freezing over. at least I was wearing sandals. :)

Kirsten was the smart one. putting sneakers on. the little ornaments we're holding were meant to represent a dragons body. 

this years Chinese zodiac is the-

self-assured, brave, passionate, conceited, and quick-tempered dragon.

I've read that it is also full of energy, but doesn't show it off. 

 

I hope everyone had a great new years and that everyone has a great 2012.

Leaves :)

On Saturday I played in the leaves (that I was supposed to be raking) It was pretty fun ^.^
I love playing in the leaves. When I was little, at school, We would gather buckets of leaves and make HUMONGOUS piles near the jungle-gym and all take turns jumping in the pile.

Annie's first steps

Annie took her first steps today!!! we we're so proud of her! all the swimming must have helped :)

A nice walk.

 

I went for a nice walk yesterday, it was nice being alone to think ^.o
jackets from kirstens trip to Ag place.

Our swim trip

Sorry I Haven't posted anything in awhile, The other day we went swimming at a friends pool.

 Group shot :)

 Piper taught Annie how to swim, she's pretty good too.

 I liked dipping my feet in ^.^

 Kirsten and Annie floated around on a foam boogie board

Annie LOVED it.

Kirstens trip to american girl place.

Kirsten, the lucky girl, got to go to American girl place in Seattle!
I think She'd been planning this for several months and finally convinced her mom to take her. :)
it was a long drive, but SO worth it! They ended up taking a random route that was way prettier thsn the highway.

Kirsten loved this shaved ice stand set-up, It'd be so cool to have one.

She couldn't resist this amazing swim suit.

 And after having lunch at the store they went and got cupcakes!

She brought back A TON of amazing clothes and toys.
thanks kirsten.

Awww

She is so cute! Last week gia went outside with the Annie and read her to sleep. She also made a book bag and an adorable outfit including a hat.
Annie is so energetic yet sweet and shy at the same time. We love it when Annie comes and plays.

Lanie's Garden exploration.

We just finished planting the garden the other day and had a lot of fun.
I got to transfer the sunflowers into pots and plant seeds

 Here I am water the plants,or trying too. that hose was HEAVY!

Garden!

Last weekend we had someone dig up the garden with a big contraption and I had to help pick the landscape cloth out of the dirt.

our garden is being planted today, all the plants have grown so much! I might enter some in our local fair.

Sunshine!

It has been super sunny and warm lately, Kirsten almost got a sunburn while mucking out at the local stables.

Pipers junior ranger badge, from the work books, came in the mail, we were all super excited.

Weekend play

It's been really nice and sunny this weekend. I went outside for a few hours and played with my little dolly Susan. (I don't like bringing Diana 'cause she's porcelain, so she usually stays inside)

The trampoline just gets more fun and more fun every time!

Kirstens Party!!!

We spent the morning setting up Kirstens birthday party

We made a cute party board near the door.
 And we piled all the presents by the table.

 Then we blind folded kirsten and Sang "Happy birthday" as loud as we could!

She loved the foods we set out, they're her favorites.

 I liked the pinata the best.

 And Kirsten loved her birthday cake!

 She got some great presents including a play-mobile set, a doll and lots of stickers.

Pipers field trip.

So over spring break I got to go to an island to drop off the human boy at a camp. it was so cool!
                                                         We got some great candy,some i've never seen, like a candy egg.
                                    Here I am by the life saver, it was HUGE!

 And this fort was inspiring, I might round up some big rocks and make one too! the beach was amazing, I wanted to go swimming but the water was freezing.

                                       one of my favorite pictures!

                                                and A special treat we never get. . .JUNK FOOD!

Hamster play.

Today Kirsten went out side and read with her hamsters today, they loved munching on grass and sleeping in the sun.

Lanie's Day outside

Today I got to go outside and play! I took some of my favorite toys with me and went to the garden.

I've named all of my favorite toys, the little girl is Susan, the baby is Tessa, moma is Mrs. Li and the papa is Mr.Li. these dolls are probably our most played with and favorite toys. I also brought along some lego toys
Haha, I love my bob, he has a really funny red beard .I don't think the dolls liked the weird goblin toy much. . .

After awhile I went to play in the bambo and picked a few for later. Because it's still so cold outside the only plant that is still alive/blooming is the bamboo plants, but I can manage, since I LOVE bamboo!

I put the bamboo in a blue vase, it reminds me of the Pokemon Oddish ;)

Before I put on my Pj's I got a spa treatment.

NEW PAJAMAS!!

Chalk it up

Kirsten, piper and I went outside around 4:30 and played with some chalk.(I was taking photos so I'm not in any)

later we went on the trampoline, we drew (Literally drew) a blanket and lied down. We snuck out the DS and played Pokemon black. It is so much fun, but then again, I LOVE Pokemon games.

 then we watched the clouds. Time passed so quickly! We were lying there for at least 30 minutes! Then we went to the old swing.
