April Fool's Day Fun

Hey!

This year, my dolls decided  to do something they call "The Fools Wars." The team who gets the most successful (but harmless) pranks wins, um...

*Asks Saige what prize is*

Brag points. They win brag points.

The teams are:

Saige and Caroline

McKenna and Kaitlyn

Lily and Natalie

Isabelle and Felicity

Here are a few snips:

"McKenna, McKenna! Guess what!?"

"What?"

"Mom's getting Grace!"

 "Yes! Finally a fashionista!"

"April Fools!"

 *growls*

 "Um, Lissie, who told you that was stylish?"

"Kaitlyn but- oh, it was a trick!"

And the winning team was...

McKenna and Kaitlyn!

I had more photos, but they accidentally got deleted :(. See you next Wednesday!

The Prank, Part 1

Twas' right before daybreak, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring except two naughty little mice.

 "Do you think she'll fall for it?" Kaitlyn asked.

"Oh yeah, definitely. She's so naïve," replied McKenna.

"I don't know- it seems kinda mean."

"Don't worry. She'll be fine."

I woke up, like I did before I came to "the house." That's what I had called it for so many years in the orphanage.

 I walked over to Kaitlyn and McKenna.

"Good morning," I said with a yawn.

"Hey, Carrie. Can I show you something outside?  It's really cool," McKenna told me.

I stared down at my bare feet. "Ok," I said hesitantly, wanting to make a good impression.

McKenna dragged me down the stairs and out the door.

  "Over there," McKenna pointed. I shivered. Even though it was warmer here than in NY, where the orphanage was, it was still pretty cold.

I looked over. Before I knew it, I heard footsteps and a lock.

 I tried in vain to open the door. It was useless.

 I sighed. It was getting colder. The only thing comforting me was the sunrise.

 I felt the tears streaming down my face. It wasn't because of the prank, but the hearts behind it. (Also notice the "cheerios" quote unquote, from earlier this month) Did the people here hate me?

~End of Part 1~

Hehe, did you really think I would leave you hanging?

~Part 2~

 It seemed like hours when some boys ran out the door. I hid. Then it dawned on me: they had unlocked the door! I ran back inside, shivering.

 On the way to Josie's bed, I saw Saige. She was always interesting. One week she was sporty, this week she was a lady.

"Hey Carrie, how- why, you're freezing!" she said.

She immediately threw me on the bed.

 She hugged me tight, and asked me to explained what happened. I told her everything.

 "I used to live in the orphanage," I told her. "The American Girl Orphanage. My parents died in a fire when I was three, leaving me and my sister behind. She was only 12 months at the time. We were separated, and I don't know what happened to her."

Saige only hugged me again. McKenna and Kaitlyn got in big trouble-they were grounded, in fact. A couple days later, Kaitlyn apologized, explain McKenna had lured her. I didn't know if she would be my friend. But I did know that one person was there for me: Saige.

Catching The Leprechaun!

Hi guys!
I have a lot going on in my life right now. I may not have time to post next week, so be prepared Nikki! ;)
Anyway, this St. Patrick's Day Katie and Saige made a leprechaun trap. Unfortunately, the camera on my ipad was broken and my Mom wasn't home so I couldn't take photos.
Here's how we made the leprechaun trap.
Katie got a cardboard box and covered it with green paint. Saige put some green confetti inside the box("grass"). Katie drew a rainbow on a piece of cardboard and glued it to the end of the lid. Saige dug through the basement and found a mini pot with 2 fake plastic coins in it. She glued the pot to the end of the rainbow. Katie cut a hole in front of the rainbow and glued pennies on the side of the hole.

Okay, now Katie and Saige are gonna tell what happened next.

The next day me and Saige Saige and I woke up. The first thing we did was check our little trap.
Katie and I eagerly ran to the trap. Instead of finding a leprechaun, we found a very naughty dog...
Eating our coins! Sam was there, chewing on a penny. Saige gasped in horror and passed out.
First thing first, I did not pass out. I fainted. Anyways, I quickly called the vet.
The vet didn't believe Saige at first. We finally convinced her to come to our house.
The vet came and did an X-ray. The vet said she would take Sam to the office and give him surgery.
And guess who passed out fainted again.
Katie and I were late for school. The teacher gave us the stink eye and marked us tardy.
Wow. We've been tardy 27 times this year already!

Okay, so then Katie and Saige started to bicker about the story and I had to have them end the story.
See you guys next week!

Guess who's birthday is on April 13?

The Obstacle Course of Doom

Hey! It's your favorite Wednesday poster, Josie. Yesterday it was really warm, and my brother and I made an obstacle course. Considering Saige is sporty, it was no surprise when she found the obstacle course. I decided to follow her.

Saige snuck up to McKenna and pinched her.

"Ow!" she cried. "What was that for?"

"It's Saint Patrick's Day. You're not wearing green," Saige replied. "Anyway, I found this obstacle course outside."

"So?"

"So it's for two people, and I want you do it with me."

"No. I just got on my dress for Josephina's party."

"Please?"

"Fine. But only for a minute."

First, they had to dribble a soccer ball through cones.

"Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!" McKenna screamed, rolling on the ball.

Meanwhile, Saige made it look easy.

Next, they had to jump rope to the baseball base.

        "A little help? This rope is way too big!" McKenna said. I was pretty sure Saige was cheating, since she was already to the finish.     

At the base, they had to put on a blue soccer scrimmage jersey.

 "Whoa! How do you get this thing on?" McKenna asked.

  "You just have to think outside the box," Saige told her.

 Next, they had to bounce a ball on a frisbee on one foot for as long as they can.

 Instead, McKenna was kissing the ground. When she finally got up, she pleasantly said, "Sister dear, did it ever occur to you this course is for HUMANS!!!!!!!!!"

"Um, maybe," Saige admitted.

Hehe, those girls. Remember, we still need auditions for the blog for a Thursday poster. Ta-ta for now,

Josie

Ahem,

~Josie, Saige, and McKenna



Curling your Doll's Hair~ A Tutorial!

Hey hey hey! Your Tuesday poster is here...Hope! Today, I am going to show you how I curl my doll's hair. My model today will be Saige! Well, let's get started!

You Will Need:

• A mister bottle
• An AG brush
• A sorta fat marker (I used a Sharpie)
• A washcloth to cover your doll's eyes with
• A salon chair (optional)

First, you will spray your doll's hair and get it wet.

After you get your doll's hair wet, brush your doll's hair to get the tangles out.

Separate your doll's hair into separate strands. Take your marker and wrap a strip of hair of hair around it slowly and tightly. Spray it while you are twisting the hair up. When it is wrapped to the top, spray it with water until it is damp and hold it there for a few seconds(ten would probably be good). Then pull the marker out and let the curl fall.

 Here is my first curl! Keep doing the same thing over until you have done all of your doll's hair.

I am almost done! Just two more curls left. 

There we are! We are done! 

Here is Saige standing up so you can get a better look of it. Her hair is still wet but once the hear drys, the curls look beautiful! What did you guys think? Would you like to see more hair tutorials? Let me know if you curled your doll's hair this way! Thank you all for reading and I will see you all next week!

Rename Saige!

Hi!
This is a fun game to play! The Goty Saige needs a new name!

Come up with new names for her and I will pick a few winners later!☺

How to Make a Candy Jar+What Is She Doing?

Hi guys!
It's me, Eunice. Today I'll show you how to make a candy jar along with a photo for you guys to caption. So, come on! Let's get started!

You'll need: 
A clear glass jar(I got mine from the dollar section in Target)
Candy(I used M&M's and Hershey Bliss Dark Chocolate)
A Ribbon(Optional)
This candy jar is so easy to make. Just fill your jar with your candy, put the cap/cork on, and tie it with a ribbon. This is a really inexpensive craft and can be used for almost anything. You could use it as a party favor, present, decoration, or just eat it. :)

Now for the photo you guys are gonna caption!

Just leave a comment with your caption, and next week I'll pick my favorite.
For example:
Katie: Hehe. I'm sure Saige won't mind if I took this chocolate.
Katie eats the chocolate.
Katie OMG! This is delicious! I'll just have one more...
One hour later...
Saige: Finally! I can enjoy the delicious candy in my candy jar!
Saige: What the? There's no more candy left! Katie...
Katie: Uh-oh.

I hope you enjoyed my post today! "See" you guys next week!
