not packing my bike

…it wouldn’t fit. my suitcase is full already. and ha! i’m not even done packing.

this is my suitcase. notice the hawaiian flowery print. i added that. for real. i sewed a pocket into the suitcase we’re BORROWING. haha. i was halfway done and mom was like “did you ask them?” so i called auntie di. and she said it was fine. haha. again. and i love how i have magazines in my suitcase like it’s contraband.

so, i rode my bike to my friend’s house to get my hair cut. her mom is a hairstlyist. i didn’t bring my camera. i didn’t bring anything. just a helmet. don’t like those. but it was fun to ride my bike by myself. without a cell phone. or anything. it made me feel independent.

here are some recent things i’ve made.

i love how our grass is green outside.

so i made 2 potholders out of some old jeans that had holes in the knees. melissa gave me the idea for a fat man with a moustache. i guess he’s a cook. i made lots of cards, and a notebook for myself. haha yeah i’m selfish. for MYSELF! :D

kid-sitting and…jumping?

photos, stories, words

i babysit these adorable kids that i just love.

how rylee writes is just precious. how she forms the letters and numbers is so cute. but i bet i probably was like that when i was first learning.

and i don’t know if you can see it very well, but her E at the end of LOVE is like 2 1/2 inches long. i love it.

and of course, while they were napping, i went outside and took pictures of myself jumping. one does that every time you babysit, right?

but this time i had a purpose. my cousin mary’s birthday.

i love my face in this one. jumping off playground equipment makes great photos, but i wanted to land on land- not shovels or slides.

i have another one that’s similar to this one, but i’m looking down. i was jumping basically onto my camera, and didn’t really want to come down feet first on it.
