Photoshoot!

 This is a very little photo shoot.

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.

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,

Rainy Days- An AGPS

Hey everybody! It's Josie, and I have for you a photo shoot of Caroline. The snow is finally melting away, and it just seemed perfect outside for a PS! I added the lyrics to the song "Mean" by Taylor Swift, because in my experience that makes photo shoots more fun :)

Note: These photos are not edited except for the watermark and resizing (so you all can actually see the photos).

You, with your words like knives and swords and weapons that you use against me

You, have knocked me off my feet again

Got me feeling like a nothing

You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard calling me out when I'm wounded

You, picking on the weaker man

You can take me down with just one single blow

But what you don't know, what you don't know

Is someday, I'll be living in a big old city

And all you're ever gonna be is

Mean

Some day, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me

And all you're ever gonna be is

Mean

Why you gotta be so

Mean?

What was your favorite picture? I really liked the eighth one because it reminds me of spring.

See you next week!

Felicity? Cooking? Again?

Hi, I'm Josie! I'll be your Wednesday poster. To start off, I prepared for you a photo story! Enjoy!

 Hi everyone! It's Felicity. Today I'm going to show you how to cook my special brownies. Yes, I know what you're thinking, "Felicity, you've already tried cooking on your mom's blog and it didn't work. What makes you think you're going to do any better now?"

1. The first time when I tried to make a smoothie the blender was literally taller than me.

2. I might have forgotten some ingredients when I made cookies...

3. Third time's a charm! Right?

First, get the brownie mix and the ingredients it says on the box. On mine, it says:

Oil!

Eggs!


And water. But you can't really get that out... You have to go to the sink or whatever.

Next, my special ingredients:

Chocolate covered pretzels!





Chocolate chip cookies!

Okay, now mix all of your ingredients, put them in a pan, and cook them!

 Now we wait...



And wait.

And wait.

YAY! They're done! They're... cheerios? Maybe third time's not a charm. Or maybe I cooked it too long or left out some ingredients. Either way, I cooked breakfast, right? I mean, that's good.

---------

Okay, maybe they turned out to be vegetable-chocolate cheerios and made Caroline (my sis) sick. Oh well. Maybe I should stick to riding horses.

Ta-ta!
