Hanging with Friends

Hanging with friends is always fun!

A week ago, I met this adorable mini doll named Sam. She's so hyper!

I was getting a little carsick, so I leaned against Fidelia.

Needless to say, Arizona was NOT sick. Of course. Hanging with friends is fun, just not in the car. :)

Then, we sat down outside the nurse's office. It was the day for our shots. Boo!

Somehow, after all those checkups and vaccines, we ended up in a toboggan position. Hmm.

...
If only it was snowing. :)

Well, we had a fun/goofy time at school! Are you having fun @ school?

Stats

I was looking at my stats and noticed that less and less people are looking at my blog. I assume that this is because I am not posting as often, and for that, I am so sorry. :(

I'm going to see if I can get more posts up soon! :)

Kylie's Letters: An Autumn Day

Hey! It's me, Kylie Grace again. It's so nice during autumn!

I've only been here during winter, spring, and summer, so this is my first American Autumn.

It's awesome.

Don't you love this leaf pile?

I was walking around in our yard, enjoying the cool weather. It was overcast, and chilly. It gets pretty chilly where I live!

Then, I spotted the leaf pile. Spicemuffin must have swept it all up into a pile. How lovely! The leaves looked so crisp and inviting.

I couldn't resist. I just HAD to jump in!

It was amazing! I'd never jumped into a leaf pile before. I kept hearing how all the other girls were doing it, but I never could. It was really fun!

I think everyone should try it. Except....

I think I caught a lot of leaves in my hair. :/

After I got up and cleaned myself off, I decided I liked autumn.

I'm glad I live here!

Autumn is Here!

This was supposed to be posted on the first day of autumn, but I couldn't find my upload cable! :O
Anywhoo...


It was the first day of autumn. The weather was cooler than it's been in a long time, so I put on a longsleeve tunic. I wondered if Arizona was cold. Since she used to live in Alaska, it's doubtful.

I was sad that summer was over. I was thinking about everything we couldn't do anymore. Swimming, tanning outside, laying in warm dewy grass...

I decided I just needed to walk it off. I hopped off my rock, and headed towards the northern end of our yard. Maybe our yard isn't that big to normal size humans, but it's awful big for me!

What I didn't know was that someone was following me!

Ha! I got you good! You didn't even HEAR me walking behind you. Ha!
Arizona, go away.
Aw.

Yes, anyway, it was a certain freckled redhead.

She tapped me on the shoulder.

When I turned around, I saw she had been wearing a longsleeve shirt. She cuffed the sleeves though.

"Oh, hi Arizona," I said.
"Whatcha doing?" She asked.
"Missing summer."
"You're not even happy to see autumn!!" She cried out.

We were quiet for a moment.
"You cold too?" I asked.
"No. Mama made me wear a longsleeve, but I got hot and rolled up the sleeves."
"Oh."

"Look," She said, taking my hand. "You're only thinking of the things you'll miss! You've got to think of everything we'll get to do in AUTUMN!"
"Optimist," I said teasingly. "I guess I can think of a lot of things to do in fall," I said.

"Yeah! Like gingerbread houses!"
"Actually, I think that's a winter thing." I replied.
"Whoops."

"Well, Arizona, I still think we should say goodbye to the last season before can fully embrace autumn."
"That makes sense."

Arizona motioned for me to follow, and climbed up the fence. "Goodbye summer!" She yelled. "I'll miss climbing fences with you!"

"I'll miss spying too! Autumn and the holiday season is not the right time for spying."

"I'll miss climbing up in the trees with you, Ivy!"
"I'll miss it too."

Then it was my turn. I took a minute to sum up the things I would miss the most.
"Goodbye summer," I whispered. "I'll miss tending to all the bright happy plants."

"I'll miss climbing up the trees with Arizona,"

"Climbing rocks,"

"Falling in the grass!" I laughed. I loved that.

"Goodbye summer!" I yell. "Bye now!" Arizona laughs.

"Now we look forwards to all the new stuff we can do in autumn," I say.

Here's some fun stuff to do:

*Jump into a pile of leaves
*Archery
*Making homemade stuff for your pets
*Card making
*Photography
*Baking
*Leaf collecting

What will you do this autumn?

A Girl and her Dog

One of the best friendships you can have is between a girl and her dog.

Winterstorm and I are like this.

He and I sit together at the park in the evenings to watch the sun set.

I watch the birds fly to the trees.

Winter watches the other dogs play.

When one of us is lonely, the other is there for comfort. Winter always makes me feel better!

He trusts me, and I trust him.

He's the best pet ever! Sure, the other girls have their own cute dogs, but I think Winter is the best one of them all.

As the sun disappears behind the trees, we walk back home, knowing it will be dark in half an hour.

Winter always stays right by my side. He is a good, loyal dog.

And when the day is other and it's time to go to sleep...

We sleep, knowing there will be a new adventure for us tomorrow.

One of the best friendships I've ever had is between Winter and I.

I regret that school is starting soon. I will be back to boarding school, and Winter and the other dogs will be lonely. But, I can look forwards to weekends when I walk home to visit. And Winterstorm will be there, waiting for me.

Goofing Around

While at J.J.'s house, we always love to goof around.

Fide loves handstands!

But Marie somehow always screws up her gymnastics. :)

Christina accidentally landed on her stomach when she overshot a front layout. :O Ouch!

Ta-da!

I'm not quite sure how they landed in the same position. :/

Have a great summer!

On Behalf of Spicemuffin

This is a status update on behalf of Spicemuffin.
She's very sorry that she hasn't been doing real posts {so am i}.
She was on vacation, and just got back.
Also, she thinks she has poison oak. It's on her stomach, and it's spreading. :O

So, we will try to upload some pictures for you soon!

New McKenna Stuff

Have you all seen the new American Girl stuff?

I've been drooling over McKenna's stuff. That lucky gymnast! I don't have HALF of the stuff she has.
Here's her "Performance" set. It's really for rhythmic gymnasts. :)

Here is her team gear. It doesn't come with much. Just a jacket, bracelet, medal, and slippers. :)

I would post more, but our pictures have been haphazardly disappearing randomly. Freaky. :O
As soon as I get my next upload in, I'll do a post.
