Things are definitely not always what they seem, are they?

Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving was great. As usual, I stuffed myself, but more on dessert than "real food."
I got Twister! Now at MY sleepovers, my friends will have to play HERE too!
I am going to start running before track starts so I can not take the first two weeks of practice so hard, like last year. I 'm gonna use the Couch to 5K thing and, as always, my own thing. Wish me good luck and good motivation, cause there is many a time where I wanna run... but don't.

Lazy. =P

I'm here...

Wow, sorry I just realized that I haven't written here in almost a month! Sorry. Just wanted to let you know that I'm alive. Once the musical is over (4 days!) I will start posting again!

Alice in Wonderland!

For my school musical this year, we are doing Alice in Wonderland, Jr. I, sadly, did not get a part, but am in the chorus. 

My awesome friend, Emily decided to have her friends from the musical over to watch the old version of Alice in Wonderland. 

This is who came:

Eva- my BFFL, Mathilda in the play, Alice's boring bookworm of a sister. (Love you, Evester <3)

Casey- my calm(est) friend who is Lily in the play.

Krista- Petunia! Great singer!

Madeline- not in play, but came anyway, cause she's just cool like that! Hope your legs feel better :(

Adrianne- White Rabbit! Who's a cute bunny?? =)

Caroline- Rose! "Beauty with virtue is a flower without perfume..." 

And of course: Emily! Thanks so much! You are the queen! (of Hearts) and a nice one too!

Also, big thanks to Emily's family! 

So, the movie. We watched the old version, the cartoon one.

Not what I expected... They are all, well, as Adrianne puts it; "MESSED UP and ON DRUGS!! "

It was so much fun though! Then we "played" Cranium. We never finished and barely got through all of us having a turn. Then we sang! Even me, who never sings in front of people! Alone! Well, with Eva, but close enough. There was pizza and soda everywhere! Even on the floor... 

I had a great time!  I love all my friends! 

Sigh...

School tomorrow.

An Awesome Autumn Afternoon! (and day!)

Today was a pretty good day! It makes me wish that we didn't have school in fall too, so I could have a lot of awesome days. In the morning, Anna and I played I Spy on the computer for the three hundred millionth time, so now I pretty much know where everything is. The fun part is imagining while you do it as the pictures and things move and interact, not really finding the things. I love it, although I sometimes say I don't, because Anna mocks me for playing it as a 13 year old.

Then, Annie's second soccer game. I really didn't want to go this morning, but I had fun when I was there. All the little girls are soooo cute, even though the games are sometimes really frustrating (and funny!) to watch. There's a swarm of little girls all around the ball, and constantly people, including me, are yelling "We need defense! Move back! Block the goal! Spread out, Tigers!" :)

Then, apple picking!!! At Beak and Skiff Farms. I was disappointed at first that we weren't going to Abbott's, where we normally go, but I liked this place too, for its own reasons.

 Beak & Skiff is HUGE. There were so many people. Abbott's is a small little family like farm. This was more... touristy. There was a giant pumpkin bounce house, pony rides with super long lines, a huge store where you can't even move, etc. Mom said its the place that has apple cider at grocery stores. It reminded me of Uncle John's in Michigan.

Even just to go pick apples was a lot different. You ride a tractor there. You had to stand in extra long lines, and a tractor came like, every 5 minutes. When you got to the, literally, thousands of apple tree orchard, a guy stood and talked to you about how to pick the apples, where to go, and, the rules. There were stepladders to reach the high apples. 

I've been trying to eat healthy. So much for that. At least for today.

Apple Dumpling 

And apple cider. Geesh. And for dinner, chili. Dessert: Apple Pie. :)

 Then we came home and Annie and I played Little House on the Prairie in the garden, and picked green beans (and rose petals that fell on the ground.) I, all of a sudden, found about a million picture opportunities. Here are the ones that turned out. 

Pretty.

Close up

These were cobwebs still wet on our bushes. It looked really cool.

It was a really, really fun day. Tomorrow, will be a really, really busy day. Let's hope it's as good as today. <3
