White Christmas!

"Dr.Bones fell into the well. That was quit upsetting because he should have left the well alone and tended to the sick."
If you know that quote, then you would know that its from a movie called White Christmas. This s one of my favorite christmas movies. It is about two groups of 'twins' who both sing/entertain. They all go to Vermont (I bet its beautiful this time of year, with all of that snow) only to find that they haven't had snow sense Thanksgiving. Living in New England, I know how that feels. We haven't gotten snow sense just after Thanksgiving either. Maine is awesome, but it really needs to get with the program. Christmas/ Christmas Eve is suppose to be snowy, not rainy:( I am hoping with all of my being that it will be snowy, and the temp will drop about 10 degrees. My friends and I are going to put or phone screens to the sky at 7pm on christmas day. Please join us to be the first generation to light up the sky! If you don't have a phone, than use an iPod, iPad or anything like that! Now light it up at 7 pm on christmas day 2014!

Books Books and More Books

This weekend I had a swim meet on Saturday, and I was going to go out to dinner with my Great aunt and Uncle (who I have never met) and my grandparents. After the meet my mom and I had some time to kill so we stopped in to look at the new goodwill. I walked straight over to the books, after having found one of my favorite books their the weekend before, and started searching. I found one of my other favorite books there, and picked it up just as my mom's phone rang. While she was talking I kept looking, and found two books that go, what looks like, a very good series, and the first book to a series that I have been interested in for a while. As soon as I picked up Fallen, my mom hung up and said that we had to go, because they had rescheduled our dinner to our home town, which was about an hour away. I convinced her to let me get the books, and all in all the past week I have gotten Capture, Fallen, the Awakening, the Reckoning, the Short Second life of Bree Tanner, and Linger. I know that some of these are in the middle of series', but I have already read the Shiver series and I just love the books. I also plan to get the first in the Darkest Powers series from the library. The swim meet wen well, and I dropped 6 seconds off of my 100 FREE, and at least 1 second off of my 50 Breast, but I don't know how I did on my 50 FLY because it was in a relay. In the upcoming couple of weeks, I am going to get back into a habit of writing more, especially during my winter break which is from 12/20- 1/2/15! YAY the new year is just around the corner!

Snow Dog

Today was Jakes first serious snowfall in our family. I decided to try to build my first snowman of the year, and Jake decided that he was going to make it as hard as possible for me to make it. I was rolling out the very bottom, and everything was going fine, or as fine as something can be with a dog attached to you. Then Jake came over and started to attack the snow ball! He was snarling, and kept biting, and making the ball smaller and smaller. Finally Jake went back to play by himself on the other side of the lawn. When I was finished with the middle ball, and was moving on to the head, I noticed the Jake was laying in the snow. I looked over, and there he was, rolling in the snow like a new born puppy. I started laughing, and realized that this was going to be a very fun winter:)

Later in the week, my dad was out shoveling our driveway, and I looked down, and there was Jake with his head pressed to the ground, pushing the snow to the side. I have never seen a dog plow the snow with his forehead before! It was quit a sight. Then later that day, I was sledding behind my house, and I put Jake on the sled. We went down together for about half of the hill, then he tilted to the side and over we went! Tell me your funny winter dog stories in the comments below. Cats too!!

Toddler Selfies

At Thanksgiving, I was spending time with my little cousin, who is 2 years old. She Has obsession with using her moms phone and taking pictures. We were sitting at the piano playing together, when she grabbed her moms phone and started walking around making funny faces! I really didn't know what she was doing, until she put the phone in my hands and said "Look!" I did look, and what I found was that my 2 year old cousin had taken at least 15 selfies all with different faces! I was quit astounded by what she did, and then my other cousin (much older than 2) said that they should make a website called toddler selfies. So hear I am writing it to you guys.
