Happy New Year, Bob Jr!

Here is our New Year special for Bob Jr. Hope you like it and here ya'll go!

Well, comment on if you like it and if you liked Hipgel's costume, if it's a big hit we might just do more episodes with her in it. Funny right? Dude, you are totally cool, PEACE!

Bob Jr. A Christmas Story

Sorry that I didn't put this on earlier, Christmas just sort of sweeps you away with so many things to do! We actually filmed this on Christmas, but didn't put it on til last night. . . well, hope you like it! And Happy New Year!



P.S. I would recommend watching the video in the smaller version and not have it blown up because when it's big it is SO hard so see faces and expressions and stuff, so, if you can, I bet it will be loads funnier because you get to see Bob Jr, I mean Santa Claus' funny expressions. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good day!

Christmas Card 2010

Can you believe that it's Christmas Eve? Already? I am SO excited! I just love Christmas. . . Here is our Christmas Card, (or video) for 2010. Sorry I didn't get this done earlier. Here you go:

You might have already seen it on YouTube or on our family's blog, but if you haven't, I hoped you liked it! Hey. . . . Why don't you comment about what you liked about it! (Brilliant!) Toodles, and hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year!

Christmas Guests

Auntie Tristin and Emily got to come to visit us and get to stay here! They both got in yesterday at the Windsor Train Station, Emily leaves Christmas Eve night, and Aunt Tristin leaves Christmas night. They both leave soon, but HEY! at least we get to see them. We probably won't post another post until after Christmas (or on Christmas) so. . .

FEED THE ANIMALS!

At the bottom of the this page, we have two different types of animals! One fish, two turtles! When you click on their aquariums it puts food in their tank! So go ahead and feed the ANIMALS!!!

CANDY CANES

I absolutely LOVE CANDY CANES!!!!! :) :) They are sooooo good! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!! Make sure you get lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and LOTS of CANDY CANES!!!!!! Remember, I love CANDY CANES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Snow Day(s)!

Yesterday, Monday, December 13, we had no school because it was freezing and we had a big blizzard here! Mom, Dad, Ella and I had to go to this immigration thing where they took our pictures and fingerprints. Then we tried to get tickets for a football game because they were giving them out for free but they ran out. So we hung out with the Dells. We played outside in the snow a lot. And then again today, we have no school because it is too cold!! YAY!!! No school! We had an extended weekend, and maybe, just maybe, there won't be any school tomorrow either! I usually don't say this a lot, but I love snow!!!

Gold. . . AGAIN!

This past weekend, in Ann Arbor, I competed in Synchronized Skating again! Madison, Mom, Dad, Ella and Viv all came to support me! We did really great and we won gold. . . AGAIN! The season is starting off awesome so far, 2 golds for our division! Our other group (that is in Open Juv. or Juvenile, I'm in Beginner 2), placed 2nd which is so cool because their division had more skaters and plus there are harder moves! I am really happy that we did so well at this competition again. Here are some pictures of the routine:

HELP!!!!!

Madison and I really need help with ideas for Bob Jr! So if you have any ideas. . . It will be greatly appreciated :)!!!!!!!!

a BIG surprise

Sorry that we haven't been on much recently, there's just SO much stuff going on, and even more to tell so let's see if we can catch up. Here we go:

On November 24, the day before Thanksgiving break me, Lil, Ella and Vivien went to one of our friends house for a few hours. When we got home we had a GINORMOUS surprise waiting for us. . . the GORNICHECS!! So, Uncle Isaac and Auntie Megan, Ashley (11), Hailee (10), Reese (7), Evan (5) and cute baby Blake (1 and a bit) were there. Over the time that they were there we had seen Tangled, (awesome and cute movie by the way!) went Ice skating and then me, Ashley, Lil and Hailee made a new Bob Jr, made parodies on The Climb by Miley Cyrus*, and Bad Romance by Lady Gaga* and posted them on YouTube! We stayed up late every night (3-4 a.m. the longest and 12-1 a.m. the shortest) We had TONS of fun doing what girls do like makeovers watching movies walking to the bakery alone (me and Ashley did that) talking about stuff. . . Thanksgiving dinner was definitely one of the bests. We had the best turkey (soo moist!), orange rolls which were amazing, stuffing, corn combo, this amazing cranberry sauce (I accidentally put in a little too much cinnamon but I think that was just what it needed), mashed potatoes and amazing gravy, pumpkin pie and ice cream, and we also got to frost (and eat) sugar cookies! It was sooooooooo good! The best part was that we got to do it with our cousins from Nevada that we almost never get to see!!! How was your Thanksgiving? Another thing we got to do was go to Sacrament Meeting at this one church that my Uncle Isaac served his mission by. It is HUGE! And beautiful too, there's this big dome at the top of it and amazing paintings and designs on the walls. This church was really cool.

School's the same. Homework, drama, more homework and then more drama. On Friday, apparently too many people were going home sick or had called in sick. They were thinking the Nora Virus (which is sort of like the flu, usually milder.) Which has been going around quite a bit lately. So, they let us out early, just at 1:30, but still! Early is early! YAY! The valley after this mountain is that we will probably have school Monday, which is tomorrow. Darn.

Well, now that Thanksgiving is over, it's CHRISTMAS TIME!!! When you comment, let us know some things that you want for Christmas, what you want to do for Christmas or what your favorite part about Christmas is. (Or all three!) Adios!

P.S. Did I mention that the Gornichecs are our cousins? (And Aunt and Uncle.)

* If you want to check out our videos on YouTube, go to youtube.com, in the search box type: thegirlsudontknow4 and the two videos should pop up. They're called "The Flush" and "Cheese Pizza". If you have a YouTube account, be sure to comment! Toodles!

Bob Jr Where's the Turkey?

In this epic tale of Thanksgiving, Bob Jr and his 'guests' face a dilemma that could be a matter of life or death. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you. . . . . .

BOB JR:

Where's The Turkey?

New Eyes

I'm not four - eyed anymore! I just got trial contacts today, and I am really excited to have them, I can see clearly and it's just so nice since I haven't been wearing my glasses for a while! Although I am really glad to have them, they are a pain trying to put them in! Seriously! It took me like 15 minutes to get the right eye one in. About 10 minutes for the left eye, and then to take them out. . . let's just say that it took way less time. Taking contacts out is a LOT easier than putting them in, you can't blink when you put them in, and you have to touch your eyeball, which is super hard without blinking. But, I am still glad to have them. . .

I HAVE NEW EYES!!! YAY!!!!

My First Synchronized Skating Competition

My first synchronized skating competition is on the twentieth! I get to go to Kalamazoo for it, and I am very, very, VERY excited! On my face I have a big star!!! My costume is very cute, it's awesome! The colors bright green, purple and black with sparkles all over it. My team and I are dancing to part of Let's Get Crazy by Hannah Montanta, and part of Starstruck by Lady Gaga. I am saving up all my money to buy something cool there, I am really nervous, but super excited!!

Breaking a Minute

Guess what? I finally, officially, 100%, wonderfully, broke a minute on Saturday. Literally. Not like taking a hammer and smashing a sign that says "1 minute", like the pictures show. I mean in a 100 freestyle event. Breaking a minute is just like saying going under a minute or beating a minute. I was really excited that I actually did it because that was my goal for when I was 12! And I made it before that! I guess my goal will be to go a 55 or something next year. . . I can't believe I broke a minute!

Candy, Candy, and More Candy

That's pretty much it. Right there. I would be done my post if there wasn't anything else to talk about but fortunately there is! Here we go:

First off, trick - or - treating was a lot of fun! I got about a full pillow case of candy, I went with one of my best friends, Hannah and 2 other girls. And we got to do it by ourselves and with no adults! So.... that means eating a bunch of candy without them seeing you do it and stopping you! Plus, you can walk at a faster rate, which means going to more houses, which ends up with you getting more treats and goodies! YAY!!!

The second thing is that on Saturday, we had our big volleyball tournament. It was great, we played really well. Our team ended up winning our first game (which we thought we were going to lose), but we didn't and we were against a really good team!!!! We placed 6th by all of our rankings of the season and by the end of the tournament, we placed 3rd!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We were all so happy and proud because we improved so much! And to add icing to the cake, we also won the sportsmanship award, and got a trophy for that!! OH YEAH! Here are some pictures at the tournament:

1st picture: I am #2, that's when we were awarded the sportsmanship award!

2nd picture: There's me looking off into the distance...

3rd picture: Our whole team and coaches with the trophy. Madison J. is in the gray sweater next to me at the end.

Volleyball was a lot of fun, and I hope to do it next year, by then we will be a huge threat and rival for NHA schools that we compete. Plus, we get our own jerseys with matching bottoms!! COOL!!! Ta-ta for now folks!

Vandalizing Pumpkins

Okay, you probably read the title and went 'What in the world?' But it's true! Some 9 year old kid (and probably a few others), came up to our porch, while we were home and smashed our (not to mention recently made) jack o' lanterns! That was yesterday, here is what our beautiful carved pumpkins looked like before 9 year olds came and destroyed them:



Don't they look great? The cat one is Viv's, the next one Ella's and then the last one is ours! Now this is what happened when people vandalize pumpkins:



Of course we had to pick the remains up from the side of the porch, so they wouldn't rot there. (You can see some guts by the bush, that's where they threw them.) The only question we have to ask out of this story is that, who (in this great world of ours!) would come up to someone's property, smash jack o' lanterns when the owners are home, and crush a 5 and 7 year old's heart? Huh?!? It's too bad because that was our first time, that we remember, carving pumpkins. And they did it right before Halloween! How rude.

Halloween Is Almost Here!!

OK, everyone better have a costume or you will never get free candy!!! EVER until NEXT YEAR!!!!
And that would not be good, at all... I don't know about you, but waiting for a year, I would go NUTS!!!!

~Lillian

Twin

I have a twin. Yup! And our names are both Madison! Her middle name is Roo, and mine is RyLea. Although she is in 7th grade and I am 6th we are a lot alike! Madison J. goes to my school and we are like best friends now! Plus she only lives a few blocks away, which is great because then I can ride my bike there a lot! Today I hung out at her house for only like 5-6 hours! We had a lot of fun... Well I have to go! Blog you later...

Bob Jr.

If you have any ideas for Bob Jr. you can either comment in the comment box, or if you have Madison's e-mail you can do that too. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated! Usually Bob Jr. will happen every 2 weeks, so hang tight!

A Very Long and Unusual Conversation and Title!

Madison: Here we have a little conversation with my BFF Abbey!!!! Here you go:

Abbey: Hey this is Abbey saying hi!!!! TO the THURBERGANG!!! KEEP SWIMMING!!!!!!!!

Madison: Back to Madison, we have been BFF's since like when we were 8!! Oh, we go WAY back! We are being bugged by Abbey's little sister. (But I think she is SO cute!)

Abbey: If you know her like I do, SHE IS SO NOT CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :@ (screaming smiley face.)

Madison: Oh yes she is! We have been swimming buds for SO long, it gives me a headache just to think about it! Now I am getting all teary - eyed... Abbey take they keyboard for me, will you? (sniffle)

Abbey: OK two things. #1: WHY ARE YOU ACTING LIKE THIS??? You were fine a few minutes ago! #2: When you have lived with her for five years she isn't cute...

Madison: For #1: I am so emotional... (eyeroll from Abbey) Yup, it's true! ("I'm so sure.") Can you get me a box of kleenex? Seriously no joke... We REALLLY have been swimming since we could spell the word 'Popsicle' (just kidding)! (Another eyeroll from Abbey -"I was reading and writing before kindergarten!!!") #2: I still think she is adorable!

Abbey: OK Madison, we should go now; Sophie is throwing punches for the computer. BYE EVERYONE!!!!!!!!! :)

Madison: PEACE OUT! HA HA HA!

Roscoe's Fuzzy Blue Blanket

Roscoe has a fuzzy blue blanket that he loves to chew on, and I mean LOVES to chew on it. He will almost do anything for it. The reason why he chews on it because he tries to get out ALL of the knots. Roscoe is so cute with his blanket. Never forget that ROSCOE LOVES HIS BLANKET!!!

Boo!

YAY!!!! Halloween is almost here! I am so excited for it! What about you? I am going to be an east - Indian princess like one from India, and Lil is going to be something like that too. The costume is made out of real silk from there! My grammy got it from somewhere and didn't really used it so she gave it to us! I can't wait! And I want to know what YOU are being for Halloween! Soooo, comment in the comment box down there and tell me what you are going to be!! DO IT NOW!!

A Lot of Stuff

Wow, I have posted SO many short posts, so I will try to make this one sort of long...

To begin with, I had another Spanish test today and I am crossing my fingers that I did well! I did really good on the other one, plus there was Extra Credit on the test I took today, so hopefully I got that right!!

The next thing is that tomorrow's Friday! YAY!! It's almost time to relax, the only problem is that on Monday our schedule will be different because we took a test a few weeks ago to see if we should move up or down in a subject. I'm moving up, but a lot of good friends that I have made might not! Darn it....

Another thing is that I might have a solo part in my choir at school! I am really excited about that but also really nervous! Because we might have to sing it in front of the whole school! And on Monday, which is our assembly day, the choir is going to sing the National Anthem!!

One more thing before I get to the really good part, since I have volleyball practice and games during my swimming time, I miss a bunch of swimming practices! So, if I want my coach to think I take swimming seriously, I have been going in the morning's before school. The only thing is, is that I have to wake up at around 4:55 - 5:00 a.m. ish to go to swimming! It's super cold and we have to get ready for school there. That means the night before you have to have your backpack, lunch, swimming stuff, everything you need to get ready for the next day in swim bag, and a whole bunch more!

Okay, you know how we lost all 3 volleyball games last Thursday? (If not, look at our other posts!) Well, we WON ALL 3 GAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We were SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO happy that we won, after all we had improved a lot since last game. Plus the team that we played today was not as good as the other one! Our whole team was super happy... and so am I!

Well, that about wraps it up for today folks!

P.S. Speaking of wraps, I am SO hungry! I haven't really eaten anything since lunch at 1:00!

Scroll Down.....

For some reason the Bob Jr. video was published before the Spanish, Volleyball, Bob Jr. OH MY! post. So, if you scroll down you will see the next Bob Jr!!

Spanish, Volleyball, Bob Jr. OH MY!

The first order of business is that I took my Spanish test today (my first one ever!)... and while I was at my volleyball game (I'll talk about that later!) Senorita La Torre called my mom and told me I got 100%!! WAHOO! I am really excited about learning more....

The next thing that I want to put out into this world, is that we had our first volleyball game! Three words: (1) team (2) needs (3) improvement. Yup. Maybe A LOT! First of all, the other team had 7th and 8th graders, while we only had 6th and 7th. And, the other team had been practicing since 5th grade. We only started a two weeks ago. (Except me, I have been doing it much longer than that!) I have to admit that I am a bit disappointed as this is our first game, but I definitely hope we get better and learn more.

The last and final thing that I want to share is that we made another Bob Jr, and it is not letting us put it on... we still have to figure it out, so hang tight and cross your fingers that we will have another Bob Jr! This is a lot of different things in one!

Spanish, Volleyball, Bob Jr, OH MY!


P.S For the translating trivia, if you want the answers I need at least 3-4 comments with the answers. Until then I will not give it out, so translate the message! (Hint - all you have to do is go to dictionary.com and click on translator. There you can copy the message into the box and have it translated from Norwegian to English!)

Bob Jr: Shaving Disaster!

Okay, Lillian and I decided to do another Bob Jr. skit because everyone thought it was really funny! It's called:

BOB JR: SHAVING DISASTER!

On this one, we decided to have it a bit longer and have us move around more! It was really fun making this one and we hope you like it as much as we do! Here you go:

Who Likes Poptropica? Who Loves Poptropica? Who Hates Poptropica? I like Poptropica, Madison and I have finished all of the Islands except Skullduggery and Steamworks! I think it is super fun! How about you? Comment us and let us know!

Translating Trivia

This game was made by one of my best friends, Hannah and I decided to try it too. Here it goes!

One of my friends has twin cousins that live in Sacramento, California. They are going to visit their Aunt in Bergen, Norway for a few weeks so they can learn Norwegian! Danielle and Nicole are really excited to go, cause after all they're leaving in 2 and a half weeks! And they'll see Aunt Ingrid, an Aunt that they have never seen! So while packing up, the girls suddenly thought of something - they didn't know the weather and what kind of clothes that they needed! And since their computer just broke, they had no way of getting onto the internet. So, Danielle and Nicole had to send their Aunt Ingrid a letter (because she had no phone). 2 weeks later, their Aunt Ingrid wrote back. But, shoot! She wrote it in Norwegian! And their computer still wasn't fixed. Aunt Ingrid must have forgotten that they didn't know Norwegian! Danielle and Nicole are leaving in 3 days, and there isn't time to write her another letter. So if you can translate it for them, they will be able to go to Bergen, Norway, and be properly dressed too. Here is the letter:

Kjære Danielle og Nicole,
Jeg kan ikke vente å se deg endelig! Du vet, moren din kanskje vet litt norsk fordi da hun besøkte meg før du ble født. Været her i september er litt kjølig, så du bør kanskje ta med et par gensere eller kanskje et strøk. Bare bukser vil være fin, og et skjørt eller to hvis du ønsker. Noen dager vil være varmere enn andre, så du kanskje vil bringe Capris også. Vi vil gå i kirken så ta et par fine sko og et par fine antrekk takk. Vi har kanskje noe regn så ta med regn støvlene hvis du vil. Jeg vil være på flyplassen for å plukke deg opp på onsdag. Eller som du sier på engelsk, Wednesday. Jeg ser frem til å møte dere to.

Ha en god flyreise,
tante Ingrid

The easiest way to translate this is to go to dictionary.com and go to the translator button. I know that Danielle and Nicole would really appreciate this! Oh yeah, and once you have figured it out, copy and paste it in the comment box ASAP! And don't get worried if what you got doesn't make much sense because when you translate things, it might change things up because there is no such word. I will have the final answer in 2 weeks, so keep checking! Also, let me know if you like this!

Middle School

Middle school is going great for me, I have an awesome homeroom teacher named Mrs. Rosinski {Ra-zins-ski}! She also teaches math for the middle school. Another thing that I am happy about is that we are now treated like we're older! {Which we are} But with that comes, more responsibility, more tests, shorter time with friends and probably worst of all... bucket loads of homework! It's hard when your life is full of tons of activities! School starts at 8:00 and you are tardy at 8:01! Lunch it SO late in the day! You have 7 periods in the morning, and then 2 electives {or specials} in the afternoon. That makes lunch all the way at 1:00! Then school ends at 3:15. This is my schedule that I took a picture of because I color coded it, and I think it looks awesome! Am I right? I love it! Plus, it makes it a lot easier to see it. So far my electives are choir and Spanish and I am loving both of them. You know how I said our school was fun? It is, but it's really strict! You have to have a planner EVERYWHERE you go! So if you have to go to the bathroom, the teacher has to sign it and write the time that you left. Also, you have to sign in at a sheet in every classroom stating your name, the date and the time. At lunch you have to sit with your homeroom - which stinks because I made some good friends in another homeroom! One is named Lia, she's Puerto Rican and she is really nice! Also a girl named Olivia, and she loves koalas! I have a few in my home room too, like Brianna {who I share lockers with}, Saffy, Taylor, Ahjhane and Ellise. And in the hallways you have to walk in a line everywhere you go and be at a level 1 or 0 {meaning barely whispering or no talking at all}! The school is great, and I am hoping to be challenged, but there are a few things I would like to change. I will keep you people {that read our blog} updated on how things go at middle school! And if you guys can keep a secret, I already know 6 or 7 boys that like me. Middle school's tough already, and what I really don't need is that up there.

Last Vacation

Okay, this is a really long post. So you probably need a good 8-10 minutes to read this! Here it goes...

Our last vacation of the summer took place {and still is} in Atlanta, Georgia! We are staying with very good friend of ours, and our Aunt Tristin! On August 28, my mom, Lillian, Ella, Vivien and I drove for 9.5 hours. At around 6 we arrived in Nashville, Tennessee! We stayed at a hotel called Drury Inn. All of us were exhausted but we still had energy to swim in an awesome pool at the hotel! Part of it was inside and the other outside! You had to go under a wall in the pool to get outside. A while ago, we bought a super cool camera that is waterproof! So, we took a few pictures of us underwater. Before we went swimming, we drove to see the Grand Ole Opry and how much damage the flood had done to it. Unfortunately, they wouldn't even let us in because they were in the middle of reconstructing it! So then we went back to the hotel. The next day we had about a 4 hour drive, and it was SO pretty! There were little islands surrounded by a lake covered with trees. They were really big hills that were also surrounded by trees! All in all, the drive was beautiful! One thing, Emily's house is HUGE! And she has a fairy tale backyard, with trees and a patio, stairs and a lot of other cool things. We got in Atlanta at around 4 and we all are super happy to be here. Emily also has two dogs, one is black and her name is Phoebe. She is pretty old. The other one is Molly, she's 7. They are both fun and really cute! The next day, Wednesday, we went swimming at one of their friend's house, while our Aunt Tristin and Emily worked out. My aunt is going to do a triathlon in about 2 weeks! I really want to do one, I probably will next summer. Emily's family came over for dinner that night. Later in the evening, my dad flew in! So my mom went to the airport to pick him up late at night. On Thursday, we waited for Emily and Auntie Tristin to get home from work. So we went to a sports store called REI, looked around and ended up getting bug spray. Later on we babysat Emily's nephew, Ben, and went to the park. After the little girls went to bed, Auntie Tristin, Emily, Lillian and I went to a frozen yogurt called The Yogurt Tap. They have really good flavors and you can do it yourself and then add some toppings! The next morning we hung out mostly, playing on Emily's iPad, talking, playing outside. At around 11:00, Auntie Tristin, Lillian and I went lap swimming at a pool. It was really nice to get back into the water! After that, we met up with the rest of my family at a bookstore. We looked around for awhile and then went to a yummy breakfast and lunch diner called Thumbs Up. It was SO good! I got french toast and bacon, and it was delicious. That afternoon, we went to a bounce house place called Leapin Lizards with Emily's niece and nephew, Ben and Cara. After that we came back to the house and had Papa John's pizza and watched Marmaduke, and Big Fat Liar. Every single night Lillian and I stayed up until like 10:30-11:00! And yesterday, we went to a big book fair in Decatur. We got a lot of cool books for us and we got them all signed by the authors! Auntie Tristin and Emily came for a bit, but had to leave before we did because they had work to do. My family and I walked for like 3-4 hours around there, and after awhile we got super thirsty! So we got some really yummy Italian Ice, we got Mango and Strawberry Lemonade! And it was SO good! The best Italian Ice I have ever had! Later on, we were going to go see Liz Kessler, author of the Emily Windsnap series. But the editor of the booklet with all the shows' times got the time wrong and it ended up being today instead of yesterday. Lillian and I were bummed because we really like Emily Windsnap! At around 1:15 we left and went home to have lunch. When we got there, we decided to go swimming at the same place we did on Thursday. Auntie Tristin and I went lap swimming for awhile and then our whole family played and splashed around. It was such a beautiful day! There were no clouds in the sky, there was a soft breeze and it was so warm! Right after dinner, me, Lillian, Mom and Auntie Tristin snuck out to one of Tristin's favorite stores. And it was HUGE! Auntie Tristin said "Pick up everything you like and then we will try it on" and that is what we did. I had to shop in the Women's small or teens because there wasn't anything for me in kids. Before we went into the change rooms and after we looked through everything, we looked through our pile of clothes {I probably had 50 clothes!} and put away anything we didn't really want. That lowered me to about 25 things of clothes! So, I tried them on, while Lil, Auntie Tristin and Mom, tried on stuff too! I got super cute stuff including a cute grey and white striped shirt {I am wearing it right now!}, a pink shirt, a cream shirt, a white short-sleeved sweater, a super cute green dress with buttons and a collar, and the cutest jeans in the world! They have awesome stitching, and are just so cute and comfy! When we got into the change room, the store was closing in 25 minutes so we had to try on everything really fast. When we got home, we did a little fashion show for Emily and my dad. After that, we had banana splits! I put tons of hot fudge on it and a little bit of Cinnamon Toast Crunch on it. Then we went to bed. In the morning we ate, finished packing up a bit and then said goodbye because we had to leave! The drive was great, it actually went by fast. It was a 13 hour drive so it was a long day! We ate at Pei Wei for lunch and then at Ikea for dinner. We are now home after about a week of being away!

School starts tomorrow, and I am really excited...

Our New Business E-mail Address

As most of you know Lillian and I have started a little business called Lil'z Lidz. {If you don't, then scroll down on the page for more info} Today we decided, since everyone has been e-mailing about the hats on one of my parents' e-mail addresses, we decided to have our own business one. It would make everything a lot easier and more organized. So, here is our wonderful new e-mail address:

lilzlidz@hotmail.com

Hurray! So again, if you are interested in purchasing one let me know! You can even e-mail us at our new address. Also, if you go to The Thurber Gang blog, there is more details on Lil'z Lidz!

Who's Ready?

Who is ready for school? I'm not! Although they give you like 3 months for vacation it goes by way too fast. Summer's almost over, and now freedom is too! Don't get me wrong, I am SO excited for school... since I am going to middle school! I will be going to Reach Academy in Roseville, and all my other sisters will be going to Koepsell! {Where I went since Kindergarten up to 5th Grade!} I am really sad that I am leaving the school that I grew up in, not to mention all my friends that are going to different middle schools. But I am really excited to go to middle school that one of my BFF goes to! She is a grade ahead of me, but at least I know someone that goes to this school.

Also, we have to wear uniforms! I am really excited about that, I went shopping the other day for what we need... the uniforms are actually pretty strict. You HAVE to wear khaki bottoms, and a navy shirt. The shirt has to have a collar and if the bottoms have a belt strap there has to be a belt. On Friday you can wear a red shirt if you want. The shoes have to be loafers or slip-on shoes that are black, brown or burgundy. You can also wear sweaters, but they also have to be certain colors. I think wearing uniforms are easy, because you know what you are going to wear the next morning!

We just went school supply shopping the other day. Which, I think is a lot of fun! I don't know why, but I think it is! This year, we are going to make our own pencil cases! We picked out our fabric and our zipper color already, and hopefully we will start and finish them today. Lil and I are also making our binder covers! Mine has tons of underwater animals, and I guess an underwater theme too! Lillian has ice skating stuff on hers. I am just so excited for school! But then again, it is nice to sleep in till 10:00 every morning. {Like I have been!}

While re-applying some more makeup on the youngest, Vivien, Madison drew a mustache on Lillian with lipstick. Thus creating a sensational moment, when the two girls were struck with an awesome idea, like lightning. An unbelievable, totally beyond amazing idea was born! We now present.....
