American Girls

We won first prize at the Halloween Elverson Parade this year.  Thanks Diane for making all the outfits.

Check Me Out!

On May 2, my family went  to the Peddler's village Strawberry Festival.  This crazy guy tried to tie me up!  He was standing on stilts and was wearing the largest shoes I have ever seen!

It was my mother's birthday and we shopped, walked and ate a lot of strawberries. We had lunch at Sweet Lorraine's.  I ate tuna hoagie with mac-n-cheese.  There was many ponds in the village.  There were many large frogs in these ponds.  I wanted to catch them, but the sign said "No Tresspassing".  The day was very sunny and hot.  We walked for hours, having a great time.

Art show

         Last week, my mom, dad, sister, and I went to my "Twin Valley Middle School Annual Top 100 Art Pieces\Recycled Fashion Show". I was excited to be chosen to have 3 pieces in the show. [one not shown] I was one of 100 students chosen from the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grades. I enjoyed watching the recycled fashion show.  Lots of the artist were very creative.  I hope next year to be chosen for both the fashion and art shows.   

The bird artwork was made in art class using colored wire and packing tape.  The assignment was to create a bird of your choice by shaping your wire. We worked in partners; my partner was Cassie.  

The drawing is of the Mona Lisa, The Scream, and a self-portrait of Frida Kahlo.  I had to find three objects that were similiar.  Then I had to research my choices.  I decided to use these three because I saw an image of The Scream and it sparked an idea! I used markers and a straight edge to make this image.

I enjoy art class because I got to work on these creations. 

CUTE LITTLE SNAPPING TURTLE!

                             Aquinnah, Brody, Kaden, and I were looking for something to do near the pond when we found something moving in near a bush. IT WAS THIS CUTE LITTLE SNAPPING TURTLE! We picked him up,(which was not hard because he was only as big as a quarter) and we dicsovered his shell was still soft!  After taking some photos, we named him Mr.T.  At the end of the day, we did not want to let him go, but we knew we had to.

My Muddy Cat

They are building a new house next door and the yard is total MUD... This is what Tiger did this morning. I had to give him a bath on the back porch to get it all out.

Easter Sunday

We had an outside egg hunt with our new friends during this great day!  We got new dresses from Aunt Jean and Uncle Jim.  Green is my favorite color.  I ate a lot of candy.

We played outside all day and looked for frogs.  We found gross(fun) frog eggs in the pond.  We also caught frogs that were mating last night.

Artwork

I love to draw and here is some of my artwork.
