Nails

For weeks I had been begging my parents for black nail polish. Finally I got it. I painted my toes and my fingers. I like it....One night I was bored and put pink stripes on all my fingers and one on my big toes. Now I know my fingers look like fat little sausages but they're not. And the reason my foot is so pale is because the flash was on. So....

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. I'm not feeling 100% today so I hope I get better tomorrow. I'll write about Thanksgiving later. Like Saturday maybe. Or Friday if I'm bored. Which I probably will be.....

;)

Randomness

Underneath my top layer of hair it's all afro-y and curly. If I don't blow them down straight (which takes a lot of work!) they stick up. So I rarely pull my hair back cuz they pop out. They're horrible!


And this....house is on the way to riding. Talk about a hillbilly place! In the summer, they all sit under a tree in their yard (what's not pictured) holding a fly swatter. No joke. See the part of the shed on the far left of the picture? Often when we drive by, we see the guy standing in the open doorway, watching us. It's weird.

My week

I know I have a lot to catch up on. OK. So first I'll talk about Friday and slowly move my way to tonight when everyone at my soccer team went to a pizza place, Bellacino's, for dinner and so our coaches could hand out awards and stuff.

FRIDAY: My horse back riding lesson was canceled on Thursday so I had it Friday morning. The horse I ride, Flash, stays up in a pasture that is on a hill. The day before it rained and rained and rained so the hill was way muddy. When I had got Flash and was leading him down the hill, trying to go super slow so he wouldn't slip, he slipped (go figure). I let go of the leadrope and he skied down the hill about 20 feet. When I walked back up to him he wasn't spooked at all. Good horse. In my lessons I'm working on jumping courses--which is a series of jumps in an order. One jump I did was so adorable! It was a few hale bales laid out next to each other. On each side was a hollowed out pumpkin with yellow and orange flowers in it and on top of the jump was a small pumpkin with a drawn on face. It was cool.
That night we went to a 'bonfire and hotdog roast' at a friend's house. My mom came home early from work sick so she couldn't go (I'll be a nice daughter and not mention the part that her boss drove her home and my mom threw up on her car....lol). But me, my dad and Trevor did. It was fun. We had hotdogs (Duh) and dessert and ate it up by the fire. Which wasn't exactly a bonfire....more like a camp fire but whatever.

Nothing happened Sat, Sun or Mon so I'll talk about today.

TUESDAY: We left to go shopping at about 1 in the afternoon. The soccer thing wasn't until 6. First we went to Hamrick's. OK, no offense if any of you like that store but talk about a grandma store. I mean, seriously, everywhere I looked there was that cute little puff of gray or white hair all old ladies have. My mom bought a few things but not me. Me and Trevor sat in the car for like 30 minutes when my mom was in the store. It even smelled old lady-ish and I have a cold and a headache and that smell...ugh...anway. Then we went to our mall. We wandered around a little. Lately I have wanting to have my ear pierced up high on my ear. 'wanting to' as in changing my mind ever other minute. But I did it today! It looks so cool! I don't have any pics at the moment but I'll get one. When the girl did it I didn't even flinch. It didn't hurt...nearly as much as I thought it would anyway. But now it is soooo tender.....

Then we drove to the pizza place.

My team eating pizza. I'm the one on the left, looking at camera. Behind the guy in front.

My team after getting our team pix and ribbons. I'm on the far left

It was a great soccer season. We came second over all. Oh, in that pic above, notice how all the girls are wearing green. Weird.....

Oh and before I forget:
We actually go snow! Well not us personally but only about maybe a 30 minute drive from our house. That is sooo awesome!!


;)

Quick Update

We have had a busy week and we still have a few busy days ahead of us. Every day this week we had to drive somwhere:

Sunday: Church
Monday: Bible club for kingergarteners-5th graders we volunteer at
Tuesday: Trevor's chess club
Wednesday: Trevor's bookclub
Thursday: My riding lesson
Friday: Some hotdog roast thing some people from church are hosting
Saturday: Trevor's chess tournament
Sunday: Church

and then the whole thing pretty much starts again.
I plan to post on Friday or Saturday about the hotdog roast thing. If we have it. We're not sure what the weather will be like.

:)

AWWWW!

OK, I know some of these pictures are fake--but boy are they cute!!!

Friends helping friends


"Yummy!"


"Like my hat?"


OK, the monkey looks like a mirror image of Trevor! (Except cuter....lol)


"YAWN!"


"Who? Me?"



"Say cheese!"



"Maybe they can't see us...."




"Atchoo!"

"Aren't I gorgeous, darling?"

That horse is a horse I used to ride--Buddy. He would seriously smile at my mom's camera! :)
