this {week} I went to my friends house (sevensisters) I had a lot of fun, walking and playing with their 2 dogs, helping feed goats (I found out I {can't} milk them ), playing horse-opoly, having pillow fights, and talking with all of them . here are some pictures, I didn't get very many though because I had dead batteries {most} the time...

have you ever tried to peel an unripe peach? well that's what we did all day  

and then in the middle of all the canning....the sink broke! not fun

ok, the first part of this post are pictures of our face paintings from Wednesday. My grandpa was in the hospital so my older sister thought it would cheer him up if we all painted our faces and then went to visit him . It was alot of fun and he was really glad to see us.

he was a "lion"

her's was supposed to be a flower, but it ended up looking more like someone dipped thier hand in paint and hit her face

I think he was an indian

"Bess" had flowers

MEK and I...she had a butterfly and I just had dots

Emma...she was just covered in paint, nothing specific

*************************************************

this weekend I finally got around to painting my room! we picked light pink and purple...and we were going to do a stripe around the top or polka dots...but they didn't work out  

emma starting the first wall

AJ doing a purple wall

Nat and I doing pink...I think

"bess"

nat having a fun time

it looks alot lighter then it really is

here is what the polka dots looked like...but I didnt like them  so they um are painted over now.

 we are almost done...just like a little more patch up in a few spots  I might put a pic. on when it's totally done...we'll see

ttyl!
