All About My Birthday

Me, when I was 3 years old, and then 8 years old.

April 19 was my birthday.

 i turned 8 years old.

me and louise and our family went to Dobra Tea. Dobra Tea is an Indian tea place. you get little tea cups and a pot of tea.  everyone in our family can choose their own tea and we all share.  It is my favorite restaurant.  I like to make up my own teas.  Peppermint and Lavender mixed together is really good.

Then, we went to The Frick. 

The Frick is a very fancy place. there is a museum and a green house.  there is also a very beautiful mansion, but you have to pay to go inside it.  you can walk around and see all of the plants and be in the sunshine.

me and my sister dancing on the stage in the frick museum.

             Then we went and picked up my friend, Siah. Siah is so good at being a friend that we call her mom our Aunt.  It feels like Siah is our cousin.  My mom acts crazy around her, and she doesn't act crazy around all of our friends if we don't know them too well.

then we all went out to eat with my two great aunts, Patty and Brenda. (They are my mom's aunts.  That's why they are my great aunts.)  and guess what they gave me for a birthday present.  i got a.......KINDLE! I can put books on it.  I am reading Nancy Drew and the Clue Crew books right now.

then we to eat ice cream! 

 

after that, we went swimming at the Oliver Bath House. me and Siah had to take a swimming test before we got to go in the deep end.  they made us swim to the other side of the pool and back without holding our noses.  then we had to tread water for one minute.  we both failed and had to stay in the 3 feet.  it was still fun. 

then we all went to my house to pick up Honey. we sneaked him into the hotel where we were staying so he wouldn't have to spend all day alone.  (i hope the hotel workers aren't reading this!)  we also picked up a big package that the mail man left on our porch.  it was from Papper Jack.  (our grandfather.)

 Homey barked a few times at the hotel........but no one heard.
we ordered pizza. they said they would not drive it to the hotel, so daddy ran and picked it up.
while daddy was gone the kids got glitter tattoos and jumped on the beds.
i opened my package and shared the presents.
At bed time, daddy took Honey home and slept at home with him. The girls sleeped at the hotel. Mom and Louisey shared a bed, and me and Siah shared a bed.
 
it was a really great birthday.

              

Holi Fest

i went to a cool festival, the Holi Fest. ( you should look it up.)

there were color powder packages, you could throw them at strangers! there were also water guns.

Holi Fest is a Indian festival to welcome the spring and let go of bad feelings. it's a time to forgive people and have fun! 

we had a lot of fun, even though i wasn't feeling well that day. when i got to the festival and started throwing colors, i forgot about being sick.

in the morning, i was scared i would have to miss the festival, and i cried. mom told me i could still go because it was a special day and i was really looking forward to it.  i'm glad i got to go.  thanks mom.

       


we got so colorful! i am still not completely clean!  it looks like i dyed a strip of my hair green.  the blue and the green were the hardest to wash off. but i am sure it will come off someday.

if there is a Holi Fest in your city, you should go to it.  it was a really good day.  i decided to let go of being afraid of getting splinters out and being afraid of getting sick.  (sometimes i freak out when i get a splinter or when i think i am going to barf.)  and i made room for love.

Sisters...

i love my sister.  :)     her name is louise. we play together a lot! this morning we played santa and rudolph. i was rudolph and louise was santa. the sleigh was a blanket. we used a grocery bag for the sack. i had to heave her/santa because she was so heavy.

 

i love to play with louise. me and louise sleep in the same room. we hate sleeping. 

we found a old pot outside and we played kitchen.

  we made a photo shoot, and heres one of the pictures.  we got to make up our own poses.  my mom took the pictures.

(why i didnt write any thing in my blog for a long time is i was playing with louise. she was on spring break.)

   we made videos on moms phone and we deleted them and pretended to send them to the Garbage Can Kids.  we were pretending to be The Boxcar Children, and the Garbage Can Kids were some kids who lived in a garbage can instead of a boxcar. (louise loves that book.  so do i.  the Boxcar Children, i mean.)      

if i didnt have a sister i wood be lonely. she means everything to me.   :)

My dog

i love my dog. his name is Honey. we play together, like in this picture. he is so cute! he is a toy poodle.
there are really cute dogs at the Animal Rescue League, like him.

we went camping, and he tried  to run away, so we had to keep him tied up.
he got this prickly thing in his fur, it was stuck, we had to use a kitchen knife to cut it out.

mom gave him the worst haircut while me and my sister were at a sleepover!  i was so surprised!  i was worried his hair wouldn't grow back, but it did.

here he is! such a cutey!

do you have any pets?
