melissa looked amazing this friday.

in photography class we took photos of the teacher’s granddaughters.

they are adorable.



i love this one.

this afternoon some friends came over, and we ate cake, drank tea, and made wall art.

these are all the things i made.

clara painted quite a few things. they were pretty cool.

i also started reading jane eyre.



and notice the springy new header.
which reminds me, daylight savings time is on sunday. we “spring ahead”… and lose an hour of sleep.
so i was taking pictures in the dark, dangerous alley behind our house.

and, thankfully, i didn’t meet up with any nasty characters. just honda tires.
wait, technically this isn’t an alleyway photo. it was on the driveway.

this blossoming tree is really beautiful.

and so is this vintage basketball hoop. beautiful in it’s own way.
and i hope they neighbors don’t mind. me taking random photos of their house.

ipc [integrated physics & chemistry] was really fun today. we played with batteries and alligators. and laughed about brain transplants. at least, i laughed and the others looked at me like i was crazy.

and the highlight of the day: hand tinting photos in photography class. mrs. sweet came and instructed us in the art of hand coloring photos, and then we brought out the creativeness.
we basically painted on the photo paint with q-tips. and smooth it with cotton balls. and let it dry. and be amazed with your work.
later i will scan in the photos (once they are dry) and post them here.

… root beer that is.
and here are some jewels of the many photos i took at my birthday party.
group photo #1 
photo with a tea set 
photo with coffee cans 
photo with salt and pepper shakers 
photo with a photo that remotely looks like you:

what do you think? do we look anything like the photos?

emily wore olivia’s glasses. because they were rounder than mine. but you can hardly tell that the antique lady has glasses. they’re tiny.


i love this photo. like the focus, and everythin.

poor little broken bikini doll.
maybe she’s an antique barbie.
maybe she broke her neck because she dove into shallow water.

ha! breanna looks funny.

group photo #2

the crazy trio.

woohoo! boy shorts.

i’m really proud of how many faces i fit into this photo.
oh, and this is the picture with (root) beer.

playing quelf. the most insanely fun random board game ever.

team super ninja monkey!

banana split.

sporting our handmade AWESOME scarves.

yes, we painted our nails outside. in the cold. and in the wind. and in the treehouse.

well, I made this blog. but no one can read it. oh well. i suppose my family can.
