The Girls of Lightcourt Way

New album

2011-03-22T15:47:00.000-07:00

Here is the link to a new album I just put up on Picasa...yes, it's of the Barbies, but like I said I hope to take more pics of the AG's as soon as the snow all melts and the yard kind of dries up. :P Enjoy the pics!! *Sonja*

Wow.

2011-03-16T14:03:00.000-07:00

I haven't posted in over a month. And before that it's the same.

Well, lately I haven't been doing that much with my AG's, so..that's basically why nothing is happening on this blog.

I have been taking lots of pictures of my Barbies though. I know, I'm probably way to old to still be "playing" with them...but I don't play with them...they're sort of like my "models" for my photos. (To see some of the latest ones, click here.) Since it's getting quite warm here, I tried taking them outside for some pictures...I shouldn't even have tried with all the slush and mud. I was freaking out trying not to drop them or have them fall over. :S Oh well! I got some good ones, I'm working on editing them right now...

As soon as all the snow around here melts I'll probably start doing more with the AG's again- it's just hard taking pictures inside...:P So keep checking here, I'll try to update more often. :D

*Sonja*

BARBIES??

2011-01-08T08:45:00.000-08:00

Kate here, I am kind of in shock right now.

Help?!

Kate who hasn't posted for like, 2 years

2010-12-27T09:43:00.001-08:00

I was going to post something really depressing, but I decided against it and I'm just going to tell you what's really been going on around here.
It's Christmas break right now obviously, and we made it through the first term of school...phew. Adair's been in her play for the last few weeks...and for the rest of us...nothing has been happening. >:P It stinks. I'm trying to get everybody together to plan a New Year's Eve photostory but that's it.
Christmas was boring too. Last year we all got like 6 presents from Sonja but this year..nothing. We all got left at home while she went to her Grandparent's house, although she would have taken Adi if she would have had the time to pack. Which she didn't. So we sat around, listening to the radio being bored. Well, we did check out all the new school stuff Sonja got with the Doll School Set, but that doesn't count. ......I feel really lame about posting something so negatively stupid, so I'll quit and you can all slap me for ruining your day...
Anyway, hopefully that photostory thing will work out and I'll be able to post before school starts again.
~Kate~

Some more AGC pictures...

2010-12-19T18:50:00.000-08:00

round 2: Why I love November
Round 3: If I had one wish...

Hope you like these pics I've done of Adair for AGC :) We got an honorable mention for the last one...sorry I haven't posted for so long, but like most of you I'm sure I'm SUPER busy at this time of year. Hopefully we'll have a new Christmas photostory. Here's some from last year: Kate's Christmas Stocking--Christmas Tree pics.

Merry Christmas to everyone from me & the dolls!!

Contests & things...

2010-11-17T15:13:00.000-08:00

Adair in AGC- FairyTale
Elsie in LDC-- Hands

Hey, Sonja here giving you some kind of an update...Adair's busy rehearsing for her play that she's going to be in over Christmas, and everyone else is too busy with homework to post. We do find some time for contests though-Adair's participating in American Girl Contest, and Elsie in Life of faith Doll Contest. Like I said in my last post I've been using pixlr a LOT recently, and I really love how they've turned out :) I'll keep posting our pics for contests here, or you can see them on our web albums.

I'll try to keep updating!!!

~Sonja~

Haven't posted in a long time!!

2010-10-30T06:19:00.001-07:00

Hey everyone, Adair here again. It's been over a month since my birthday and the last post!! AAHH!! Well, Sonja finally had the time to take some pics of me yesterday which she edited on Pixlr. See the whole album on our web albums.

School is busy and I'm also going to audition for a Laura Ingalls Christmas play next week!! (Of course, for Laura :D) I hope I get the part! You may not see me for a while since I am so hard at work, but I'll try to get some of the other girls to post!

Got to go, Saturdays are "Clean the dorms day". :P

Love, Adair

PS--click the photo to see it fullsized!

Happy Birthday, Adair!!

2010-09-15T13:21:00.000-07:00

Adair celebrates her 12th birthday today! At school she wore her birthday crown and she's having a sleepover tonight with all the girls. :)
Her presents were a necklace, a random little box, an iPod, and a little doll I made...it was originally going to be a baby, but I couldn't figure out how to make any other clothes besides the dress she's wearing because it was my own pattern. She's cute anyways, I'm really happy with how it turned out!! Just a short post--maybe some pictures from the sleepover later!

~Sonja~

SCHOOL!

2010-09-13T13:47:00.000-07:00

Adair here again, sorry I didn't post any sooner about school. These pictures are from the first day, last Wednesday. It went well, but the new teacher wasn't what any of us were expecting. (Is that proper grammar?)
Ms. Natalie Lewiss is short, blonde, nearsighted, smart, and RANDOM!!! She's a good teacher, but REALLY funky! Kate and Taylor have her for their advanced subjects, but I'm kind of glad I don't...
It has been hard work so far but fun, especially when we can go outside on "Nature walks" with Ms. Lewiss--although so far there's been more laughing than looking around. :-)

That's all for now, I just wanted to put up these pictures and give you all a short summary of what's been going on...

Love, Adair

PS-I forgot, I just wanted to say how GORGEOUS all of the new Melody Valerie Couture fall dresses are. o_o I can't decide which one is my favorite, Brown Paper Packages or Let's Take the Train. What's your favorite?

School starts on the 8th!!

2010-09-01T10:20:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone and I am SO SORRY for not posting in so long. :S I went up to Sonja's relatives cabin and had a great time there. (See picture.) It's amazing but school's starting NEXT WEDNESDAY!!! aaaah!! I'm excited but sort of...not excited. At the same time. Anyway, our schedule is this:

8:30-8:45: Arrive at school sometime in there

9:00-9:55: Math

10:00-11:00: History & Current Events

11:05-12:00: Writing & Literature

12:00-12:30: Lunch

12:30-1:00: Recess/Gym

1:10-2:00: Science

2:00-2:30: Music (For me, it's violin along with Taylor, everyone else does piano.)

2:45-3:30: Advanced subject: Elocution, some Dance, Shakespeare--stage/film training, basically. **

3:45: back to dorms.

(**Everyone here has an advanced subject; mine's obviously acting, Kate's is writing, Finny's is Art, Taylor's is Math, and Mia's is Ice skating. Just so you know. :P)

I found something out about the school I didn't know the other day. "It's almost time to start school, and we don't have our uniforms yet," I said to Finny. She looked sort of surprised. "Well, of course! We don't have uniforms here." I've never been to a school without uniforms before!! I can't believe Lightcourt doesn't have them. Maybe Sonja needs to get sewing for us..hehehe.

It'll be my birthday in about 2 weeks!! Maybe I'll have a party...**writes note to self to get party things**

Anyway, I think this post has gone on long enough....

~Adair

PS- the poll on my last name closed, and it has been decided it's officially McLaurel!! :) thanks for voting!

PPS- yes we've heard the sad news about Felicity & Lizzie....but what's the use of talking about it? We can't change AG's mind and it just gets you depressed to talk about it. :/

Finny & Adair window photoshoot

2010-08-16T13:36:00.000-07:00

Finny here; just a note to tell you Adi & me have a new album up you can view here. We are so similar!! We are BFF's! :) Well, we're getting back into the school-time atmosphere here. Apparently we're getting a new teacher for Math, History, English, and probably some other stuff I can't remember. :-o! We're all pretty anxious to see what she's like!! And meanwhile, it's getting school supplies and backpacks, etc. I don't know whether to dread the first day of school or be happy about it yet. Got to go- Love, Finny & Adair, too :)

First post by ADAIR!!!

2010-08-13T10:07:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone, it's Lightcourt's new girl, Adair!! I'm going to write some cool/funny/random things about me so you can sort of get to know my personality:

~I am going to act on the stage when I'm grown up. I know lots of people would rather be in movies...but that's not really my thing. Besides, my mom and dad were both on Broadway.

~ My favorite color is PURPLE!! Which is obvious from the picture right over there :-)

~ I am obsessed with Owl City!!! Don't say anything about Taylor Swift around me!

~ I am Russian, Irish, and Scottish, hence my name- "Adair" means "From the oak tree ford." "Quinn" means "counsel."

~I love to watch "The Waltons," which may seem kind of weird. Yeah, it is weird, but I like it :)

~People probably would call me a drama queen, but it's not like I throw hissy-fits all the time. I make a big deal about everything, that's all!!

~I love fashion and clothes!! Speaking of which it's a pretty lousy selection here. :P **Forces Sonja to buy her more clothes**

~I like baseball sort of...... yeah I like the MN Twins :) But I hate football!!! Grrrossss!!

~My birthday is September 15, 1998--coming up soon!!

~I have played classical violin since 1st grade.

~I will be in 7th grade this year!

~My favorite seasons are fall and spring, fall because of my birthday, and spring because the snow melts and everything comes alive again :)

~My favorite book is either "Anne of Green Gables" or "Emily of New Moon." But I also love "Ballet Shoes" and "Dancing Shoes" by Noel Streatfield.

I can't wait to post more, but that's all for now!

Love,

Adair Quinn _______

(I think I'm going to have a poll to decide what to do for her last name! :S)

The final parts of the story are up!...aaand other stuff

2010-08-12T17:06:00.000-07:00

Hey guys, Kate here. CLICK to see the final parts of the story!!! It was really fun, and now we have a new student/friend. But you'll just have to read the story for yourself, I won't tell the entire thing!!

Right now: it's like, a kabillion degrees outside. Sonja & her sisters went to the pool this afternoon (LUCKIES) and so we got an idea: to go swimming ourselves!!! The only thing was, where to go? In the end we decided on the sink, because we can't get our bodies wet, ya know, and the bathtub's too big for us to operate....:P I suppose my costume was pretty crazy....(underwear & **human** headband as a top) but Finny had to wear her SHIFT!! HER HISTORICAL SHIFT!! I suppose she's in that sort of a mood right now since she was just all dressed up in her Felicity outfit. **sigh** I'll never understand these historicals. Well, bye for now!

YOUR VERY HOT,

K@TE

PS: I've decided to be Pippi Longstocking for the remainder of the summer (Sonja: **rolllls eyes**) so this is the last post as "moiself." XD bye, sort of, not really!!

Part Two is already up!

2010-08-02T10:03:00.000-07:00

Click here to see part 2 of the exciting mystery! :) :) :) :) I think that I'll be able to post one every day.

~Sonja~

Edit: go to the link again!! Parts 3 and 4 are up!!!

Part one: Appearances and Dissapearances

2010-08-01T17:12:00.000-07:00

Click here to view part one of our exciting mystery photo story!!!!! Lots of straaaange things are going on right now...except I'm in on all of them hehehe. :)

I'll post when Part 2 etc. are posted. Also, note that this is in a new web albums....the old one was running out of space....but I'll put links up to both on the sidebar.

All for now...

Mia Photos

2010-07-20T07:12:00.000-07:00

These are some pictures of Mia taken some time ago......

AG has gone over the top

2010-07-13T09:42:00.000-07:00

Kate here. I discovered this morning that AG has made a whole new "line" of doll stuff. What used to be "JLYs" are now "MAG"-- My American Girl.

Included in this new line are tons of new earrings, glasses, furniture (a sink at least), dental sets (see picture), and "themed" outfits- hobbies, everyday, sleep & style, special days, etc. And also everything says "Innerstar U!!" Since we spend enough time on the computer already, we won't be participating in AG's newest Computer-game craze. Also, prices have gone up!! Most of the outfits are $30, as opposed to $24 or $28. Not a trend I'm crazy about. Of course, it could be due to this "charm" thing-one comes with each outfit. I'm also not a big fan of the new JLY- excuse me, MAG- "Uniform." It looks like pajamas. The only new thing that I like is Lanie's Owly Nature outfit. I want it so I can show my Owl City fan-ness. :)

Sorry for being incredibly depressing and being totally against all change and progress in American Girl stuff!! :)

Love,

Kate

What is wrong with this blog?

2010-07-09T11:00:00.000-07:00

The answer is, nobody ever posts here. That could be because Sonja only just got back from Florida-she didn't take ANY of us- and kept us shut up in her room. But still....I have a problem with that!! Let's see, we were really bored for the 5 days she was gone. All we did was sat. We needed the Cat in the Hat, but he didn't come. Finally, we can have some action around here again, because they're going to post the theme of our summer camp here at Lightcourt on Saturday afternoon!! :) I can't wait, as long as it's not dinosaurs or astronauts. =P

Oh, now I remember something. Yesterday Sonja took Mia dressed up as a Pioneer girl to model some crocheted shawls and headbands she was selling at a craft fair at our library. She also sold some crocheted 'amigurumi' animals, I should put up some pictures of those! They are really adorable. We have some of our own that she has kept, so...yeah. OK I'd better hush up and stop because I'm kind of blabbering. B4N!!

Love, KATE

A little update

2010-06-19T15:23:00.000-07:00

Hey, Kate here! I know, I'm the only one that posts here. :P Well, school was out about a week ago, to everyone's joy! It was a good year...but doesn't everyone want to just GET OUT at the end of the year??

Taylor's going on vacation a few times during the summer, but most of us will be here at Lightcourt during break. But this DOES NOT mean that we won't be having TONS of fun! Sonja told us that we're probably going to have a summer camp thing, but refuses to tell me what its theme is.

We've obviously made lots of changes to our blog's look recently, but that's just because Sonja's getting used to this new designer feature...not sure if she likes it or not. :S

IN OTHER NEWS, AGC Season 4 is underway, and all of the info is on americagirlcontests.blogspot.com. I can't wait to help Sonja judge!!

Also, a new blog we're following, Karalee just started her own that you can visit HERE.
Got to go--
Love, Kate

AGC CHAMPIONS!!

2010-06-17T13:03:00.000-07:00

I am glad to say that I WON AGC! Congrats to Quinlyn and Julie who got second, and Libby and Beckie who got 3rd.

THE WINNING PICS

Round 1: Happy

click here

This was our very first round, so we were just getting started!

Round 2: Excited

click here

Finny was glad to be involved slightly in AGC again after getting 3rd last season!

Round 3: Confident

click here

We got an honorable mention for this!! :D Sonja thought at first that I could dress up like Maria in the Sound of Music, but since she didn't even want to TRY a background for that, we just used a dark blanket.

Round 4: Fashion Photography

click here

Sonja used some editing in Picasa3 for these pics; tinting, focal B&W, and soft focus. We got honorable mention for this round, too!

Round 5: Adventure

WINNING ROUND!

click here

We used editing for these, too. It was kind of hard to get good pics, since the sun was setting and a dead tree was in the way...so we had to get around that... but still, the headshot turned out really well.

It stinks to beat your BFFL, but this season I'm not in it cause we're hosting it! :D Hope you enjoyed the pics!

Cya--KATE

2010-06-03T13:12:00.000-07:00

Finny's Random Ramblings (titled by Kate)

2010-04-14T15:25:00.000-07:00

Hello everybody...hope you love how much we're posting, cause we do post a lot. :P Here's two pictures that Sonja took a few days ago....in the one of Taylor, Mia and I it kind of looks like we're 'leaving her out' of something. We look rather mean. But don't worry we're NOT! ;) Aaaand below is our very own Great Kate Weather Machine. (btw, she made me do that.) And she's with her and Sonja's new FAVORITE BOOK OF ALL TIME (Kate made me put that in caps...:P), Peter Pan in Scarlet...those two are very 'into' Peter Pan. (Sonja and Kate chime in: AND IF YOU'RE NOT, YOU'RE NOT!!! AND IF YOU ARE...WELL, JOIN THE CLUB.) Poor Pepper was acting as the pillow...but he really doesn't mind, he's been kinda lazy since it's been rainy and muddy and he and Coconut haven't been allowed outside. As for the cats, Licorice doesn't like being outside anyway...all she does is sit around & sleep most of the time, but occasionally gets up and purrs around whoever is wearing the Licorice play outfit. Of course. LOL, it's kinda funny. :D

This has been the randomest post of my career. I'm bored. I'd better quit...

Love from Finny

Tween Girl's Daybook Week #4, and pictures!!

2010-04-13T15:23:00.000-07:00

Hi! I'd better like do this thing now...

Date: April 14, 2010~

Starting Time: 2:03 pm

Mood: Can't wait for the weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!

Outside my window: the sunshine and trees and other usual stuff

I was just in: the library doing homework

I'm thinking: about how dumb Justin Bieber is...

I'm reading: Nothing, right now...it's not my big hobby.

I'm listening to: Kate make up a random song about herself....she's obssessed with herself now that she's being called the great Kate weather machine or whatever

I'm wearing: a pink tee shirt, jeans, & a pink and blue poncho. :D

I am also doing: listening to Kate. Finny did this last week...wow

Yesterday, I: Walked Pepper, went to school, explored the ancient posts of this blog!!!! it was hilarious...Kate actually wore pink in those days. Don't tell her I said anything, PLEAZ

I'm excited for: OH!!!! WE'RE GOING TO- Kate: SHHHSHSHSHSH!!!!!! Taylor: oh, sorry. I can't say right now. :D

I'm sad because: I have ugly hair!!!!!!!!!

I'm hungry for: popcorn...WHICH IS REALLY RANDOM

The song stuck in my head is: now I got Kate's ridiculous song stuck in my head. It's so weird I'm not going to write it down. :P

I want: THE-!! Oh, sorry. :D

I love: my pets & my sister Maura, even though she's really annoying sometimes
This week, my goal is: do I have to have a goal?? why?? ok it's to find a hairstyle that I don't look like a boy in!!!

Ending time: 2:19

heehee that was fun and now we have a wee bit of a secret!! :D

Comment!!

Hey people, Kate here!! I'm back from my trip, I had a great time with my cousin, Anna, playing outside, falling in the dirt off fences, etc. My usual stuff. Sonja's still got a few pics to go, but the album from last weekend is right here!! :D Comment and enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOVE,

The Great Kate Weather Machine (heehee. If you haven't read the Mysterious Benedict Society...well, then you just won't get it. LOLz. I love being so sneaky-ish.)

Goodbye my fairy friends...

2010-04-09T06:45:00.000-07:00

Hello everybody! I am leaving in about a half hour, and everybody else is jealous of me, since I get to go by myself. :D Too bad!! Well I will definitely put up pictures as soon as I get back!!

Love from Kate and Coconut...who gets to come too

Sonja: Kate, why did you even post that?...

Kate: Bcuz. I want to gloat in front of the other girlz.

Sonja: Enough with the z's, please!

Kate: WHYz? LOLz

Sonja: whatever....

Tween Girls Daybook Week #3!

2010-04-06T17:11:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone! Finny here, it's Tween Girls Daybook week #3! :)

Date: April 6, 2010

Starting Time: 7:12

Mood: Pretty happy! :)

Outside my window: Right now, rain and grayness.

I was just in: Elsie & Kathy's room...telling them to stop giggling and to do their homework! :D

I'm thinking: about how nice it will be when school's over.

I'm reading: Heidi, by Johanna Spyri. It's part of my school stuff.

I'm listening to: Kate giggle, laugh, and scream as she chats with her BFF, Quinlyn's Julie. They think they're going to rule the world.

I'm wearing: the Licorice play outfit. :D

I am also doing: well, I told you, listening to Kate.

Yesterday, I: Didn't do much...

I'm excited for: when it'll be sunny again...and not raining.

I'm sad because: Well, I think it's kind of unfair that Kate gets to go on vacation this weekend, and not me!! Sonja: Um, who said you couldn't? I'll take you...the weekend after. :P Finny: Oh!! ok!! I'm not sad then!

I'm hungry for: I just had supper, so I'm not hungry.

The song stuck in my head is: some classical song that Sonja plays all the time...

I want: Some Melody Valerie couture...but it's ALL sold out, and Sonja couldn't get it anyway. :P

I love: Sonja, Kate, my friends, God! :)
This week, my goal is: To get lots of schoolwork done...I think?

Ending time: 7:21

That was fun! :) Please comment and feel free to do this on your own blog. :D

Love, Finny

Happy Easter!!

2010-04-04T18:01:00.000-07:00

Happy Easter everyone! :D Sadly we didn't get any pictures taken, but we had a GREAT dinner with all of us...Sonja's tried to upload a picture of me but the internet isn't working very well, which stinks because its a very cool one! :P So sorry about 3 POSTS IN A ROW without any pictures. BUT ANYWAY, hope everybody had a good Sunday!! :D

~K@te!!

The second post of the day...

2010-04-02T15:29:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone, this is Finny. :) We are all so excited about Elsie winning LDC! She can't wait to help Sonja host the next season.

Since Kate totally forgot about it, I'll say Happy belated Birthday to Taylor...she turned 12 on the 25th, and she and Kate got to go to the Museum of Russian Art...to see the nesting dolls, or Matryoshkas. Unfortunately, no pictures allowed. :P. Oh well...

Oh, and how do you like the new header? Sonja took it today, it was wear a color to school day. (I love how we're sort of in a rainbow!) Kate called it randomly last night. And of course, she's wearing the insanest outfit. (Don't think that's a word!!) Maura, Taylor's older sister (yeah, she looks like a Millie.) doesn't have any shoes on....I don't really know why. She's just kinda like that. XD But then, Taylor looks like a boy since her bangs got kind of messed up...no offense, guys, but...*sighs* Those Lorraine girls!!

Well, G2g...Kate's insisting that we go on a walk around the block, and the wind is strong enough to knock us over right now, not to mention the looming gray clouds.

Bye!

(Oh and if you haven't, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE comment or follow us!! We appreciate it SO much. :D)

Love, Finny

Tween Girls Daybook Week #2!

2010-03-30T14:34:00.000-07:00

HEY PEEPS this is Kate and it's my turn to do this Daybook thingy-ma-jig. :D

Date: March 30, 2010

Starting Time: 4:47

Mood: LIKE, HYPER!!!

Outside my window: uh, my room is in a closet? So I don't have a window. :P

I was just in: the library...which is like, right on the other side of the closet

I'm thinking: about my AGC entry. :D

I'm reading: well for school we all have to read all this English History...like stuff by Winston Churchill and other stuff. So I don't really like, have any time for anything else!!!!

I'm listening to: Finny and Taylor talking about their dogs, and their other random blah-blah. They just do that sometimes...I don't get it.

I'm wearing: my fave outfit EVER!! The Purple Jumper & boots set! :D

I am also doing: Wondering why they need to talk about our limited amount of outfits and how badly Sonja needs to get more

Yesterday, I: WENT TO SCHOOL. ET. SLEPT.

I'm excited for: EVERYTHING!! especially the next time I can chat with my BFFL, Julie. :)

I'm sad because: I'M TOTALLY NOT SAD...well I am sad that Finny's probably going to have to go somewhere sometime this year to get her legs tightened...BUT THAT'S IN A LONG TIME!! OK??

I'm hungry for: anything and everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I NEED TO EAT RIGHT NOW

The song stuck in my head is: hmm...nothing right NOW...but I usually do...

I want: ANY KIND OF FOOD

I love: God, my sister, my friends, my doggie, my BFF!!!!
This week, my goal is: WHY should I have a goal??! I'm just glad to be ALIVE, here!!!!!! Finny interrupts: What are you talking about?? You just said the other day that you were GOING TO GET YOUR BED CLEANED OUT, that can be your goal. Kate: SSSHH.

Ending time: 4:56

Tween Girls Daybook thingy...

2010-03-23T14:20:00.000-07:00

Iona (her blog is right HERE) started to do this on her blog and I thought I would too...but here, since my other one is kind of not meant for that sort of thing. (Don't ask...)

I think you're supposed to do it every week, so this is our week 1. Maybe I'll do it this week and then let one of the girls do it on the other weeks.

Date: March 23rd, 2010

Starting Time: 4:27 pm

Mood: Pretty happy!

Outside my window: the deck. and trees. and the sky.

I was just in: my room

I'm thinking: about Nationals...eek.

I'm reading: Little Dorrit, by Charles Dickens

I'm listening to: my dad play the accordion and the radio

I'm wearing: a pink tee shirt and a skort (because I was just dancing)

I am also doing: chatting with my friend and trying to get this done as soon as possible since otherwise I will probably be in trouble!!!

Yesterday, I: well, let's see. Um, I cleaned my room, played my violin, did my math, and went to dance class, and listened to Odyssey.

I'm excited for: Nationals? Even though it's a ways away...(4th of July week)

I'm sad because: I'm not sad.

I'm hungry for: hmm, nothing right now.

The song stuck in my head is: not really anything at the moment...

I want: Erm, a monchichi. For my birthday. (Oh this is soooo embarrassing!!!)

I love: Monchichis!!!! And all little monkey things!!!!
This week, my goal is: Uh...to practice and stretch so I'll be prepared for dance!!

Ending time: 4:32

Ok...that was interesting. and fun.

~Sonja

(psst...don't tell anyone about that...you know what.)

LDC award!

2010-03-22T10:20:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone, this is Elsie. As you probably know, I am competing presently in the Life of Faith doll contest, and I have made it to the final round! After this last round, 'Sewing', I was pleased to receive and award! It has only been my first time in a contest so I am very happy. All for now~

Elsie D.

New Photostory!!

2010-03-18T20:15:00.000-07:00

I did a photostory this afternoon since it was so nice out!! You'll have to go here to see what it's about...I know, I know, the title is kind of weird, and random. But whatever it was really fun!!! XD!!!

LOVE,

K@TE

3rd in AGC...

2010-03-15T08:06:00.000-07:00

Hi, Finny here. Well, we got eliminated from AGC. :( At least we got 3rd! And it was only our first time doing it. And the last picture we did wasn't very good. but whatever! Can't wait for next season!

A really quick post

2010-03-11T06:03:00.000-08:00

Hey peeps. It's Mia and I have to hurry this up because Kate is giving me 3 minutes to type this since she really wants to play her computer game...We haven't been posting since we are very busy with school before spring break, which is next Monday, and also because Sonja has been doing lots of dancing because of St. Patrick's day...and she usually won't let us on our little laptop unless she's there, because Taylor and Kate usually fight over it. :D It's raining like crazy right now, and there's even thunder & lighting. Kate says she wants to go out and climb trees and for once Taylor is disagreeing with her. *screech* "Like, how can you want to like, go out in that??! You'd like, get 50 gallons of water, like, all over your head!" ~Taylor "I'd be fine! I'd only need a completely new stuffed body." ~Kate "EEEEK!! Like, don't talk about that sort of scary stuff, like, por favor!!" ~Taylor. Ok I have to go or Kate is going to go crazy. Bye~

Mia

A more civilized update...

2010-02-26T16:14:00.001-08:00

Hello, everyone, Finny here, and I just wanted to post a little...Kate was so insane last night I'm apologizing for her...terribly sorry, Sonja never should have let her have so many Fun-dips. She goes bonkers when she has them. (Sonja: I didn't let her!!! She stole them!!) Well I'm having a lot of fun doing AGC, I'm really glad I've made it this far!! :) I hope I'm one of the last two people to be in the contest...there are four people in the competition right now, including me, and two will be eliminated on March 1st! (I think) So...that's that update...

Oh and I also wanted to mention Fiddy's blog...I really enjoy reading it! you can go to it HERE and it's also on the sidebar. Lots of great doll blogs are, but this one's main author is kind of my twin, since she's also a Felicity, but NOT a historical Felicity...heeheehee, Kate is screeching "BUT I'M YOUR TWIN!! TRAITOROUS!!" right now. LOL...well it's movie night, so I've got to go! :)

Love,

Finny

The new blog!!!

2010-02-25T17:14:00.000-08:00

So, as you can see, our blog got completely changed up!!! WOOHOO!!! This is so great! It's so much cooler now. Especially since my picture has me in my glasses! Yes, I got them...but you probably already knew that...well if you look at Sonja's picasa anyways. Finny is trying to tell me something.....sorry I have to turn the radio down, it's up to maximum right now....(Yes, I'm hyper right now! How could you tell? You just answered the 100,000,000,000 dollar question!!! Ok, sorry...) Finny sayz, to see her other pics from the AGC thingymajig that she's doing, click HERE!!! I am just so entertaining! Don't you agree? Well now I'm getting yelled at for being too hyper. So CIAO!!!

~KATE, THE GREATEST

Changes are coming

2010-02-24T15:40:00.001-08:00

I've made quite a lot of changes by the doll's pic's....I'll probably change the name of this blog soon, too. And it'll be posted on a lot more regularly...but I've got to take some more pictures of the girls and think of a name for their town/school thing. :)

More updates soon!

~Sonja~

My picture for "Wild"

2010-01-29T09:06:00.000-08:00

This was my entry for "Wild" for the AG contest- and I made it to the next round! Yay! The next round is "Valentine's day." I'm going to start thinking of ideas for that today....

Pictures from AG place!

2010-01-20T14:18:00.001-08:00

We went to the American Girl store last Saturday with our Aunts and Grandma! :) I took about 100 pictures, you can see them right here at my Web albums! (I don't mind comments!)

(Above: Felicity and Taylor playing with some of the Bitty Twins)

American Girl Contest!!

2010-01-14T06:58:00.000-08:00

Hi everybody, I am doing this contest on the American Girl Fan Message Board, AGC (or American Girl Contest) and I made it through the first round! The theme was green, so this was my picture above! (If you know me you can totally understand this!) Jasmine, who is hosting this, gave me the Honorable Mention for this round!! I am so happy!!!! :D Well I'll be sure to put my other entries on here! Keep checking!

~Sonja~

PS-- we are going to the AG store at the Mall of America in a few days! Yay!

2010-01-06T12:19:00.001-08:00

To sign up for Show & Tell Wednesday, go to Liz's site at americangirlfan.com!

This is a picture I took over Christmas at my Grandma's, of her Kirsten and my mini Emily, who were playing together :)

All for now...

~Sonja~

Show & Tell Wednesday~

2009-12-30T16:17:00.001-08:00

(To sign up for this, go to Liz's site: americangirlfan.com!)

This is a picture of Felicity reading one of my favorite books, Emily of New Moon, by L. M. Montgomery. :) My dolls love reading as much as I do! :D

Girl of the year 2010--LANIE!!

2009-12-22T15:11:00.000-08:00

Yay! Most of you are probably already in the loop about this, but AG has been giving out hints! We know that Lanie likes gardening, outdoors, etc., and from this picture, she has a pet bunny! From the book covers she looks somewhat like Nicki and JLY #33. Doll Diaries (dolldiaries.com) has a lot of info on this, so keep checking their site!

My dolls have a few Christmas albums up, see them here. Comment, comment, comment!

Merry Christmas!

~Sonja~

Hahahaha

2009-11-04T07:57:00.001-08:00

I found this on Doll Diaries. Having two cats, I can definately relate :) Isn't it cute?
http://americangirlsinmoscow.blogspot.com/2009/02/tale-of-two-cats-and-canopy-bed.html

More posting soon!! I promise!!
~Sonja~

Oh!! Wait!! There's info on the AG Girl of the Year 2010 on Doll Diaries as well, check that out HERE. I can't wait to see her!! I hope she has a movie, like Chrissa. :) Well then that's it... bye.
~Sonja, a second time. ~
Ps. see my regular blog for updates, and I added some fish & stuff...so, yeah...,I think that's all now.
~Sonja, a third time~

AG's updated site

2009-10-14T08:40:00.000-07:00

AG just totally redid their website! It's a lot fancier now. Go to americangirl.com to see!
(This was a pretty lame post but, oh well.)
~Sonja~
PS-- See my goofy album I posted on my Picasa Here!

Bad, Bad AG!!

2009-09-29T10:39:00.000-07:00

Kirsten is being "archived."

This is so dumb.

WHY?

She wasn't my favorite since two of my sisters have her, and the hair is not the easiest to do, but ?????

This happened last year! Who is next? Molly? and then...FELICITY?????? Wow, I just thought of that, it's very terrifying. I'm really scared about this. From reading Doll Diaries a few people think that they'll come back...I don't know about this...it's just really really silly that they need to retire (I mean archive) people!!! I can kind of understand why they would retire Kirsten--she hasn't been selling as well as some of the others, but Sam was selling well...I think? I mean, she had a best friend doll, a movie, and just as many outfits as the other popular Historicals, and Kirsten doesn't...but....

This just doesn't make sense.
~Sonja

(This was added later)
Wait a minute, I've been thinking.
Possibly there will be another extremely cute new girl like Rebecca. Hopefully.
And Felicity has already been "archived"...so I don't think I need to worry about that.
And so maybe they are going to do that again with Kirsten, Samantha and Nellie.
If they do I will be happy!!!!!!!!! That's all...

I'm kind of bored

2009-09-23T09:36:00.000-07:00

Hi, Kate here. You might be able to tell what mood I'm in right now by the title :D. Sonja says if it doesn't rain we can all go outside later and collect colored leaves or something....I'd rather climb trees than just collect leaves. We have a perfect climbing tree in the front yard; I've wanted to try to get to the top for quite a while...

School has been going well. We've been reading books about WWII such as Brave Emily. And speaking of Emily, my "mini" Emily doll has decided she's going to run around like me and Felicity do and cause a mini's uprising to get more attention. (She hates to be called a 'mini' by anyone though...I really hope she doesn't read this.) She has also been extremely wild lately; now she rides my poor doggy Coconut like a bucking bronco and yells! Maybe she should try climbing some trees, or just running around outside.

And I think I might need glasses. Felicity says that I squint when I try to see what time it is from a ways away from the clock, which now I realize I do, and I can't see the tree outside the window's leaves very clearly anymore. Sonja says I'm just trying to be like her since she had to get glasses last winter, but I'm not!!!! Well, I hope I get some soon. I think I'll look good with them :O)

That's all for now! Expect more posts from ME especially in a while.

Ciao! ~Kate

Lissie, Kate and Elsie....

2009-09-14T09:49:00.000-07:00

Felicity
Hi, I'm Felicity, I am eleven years old, in 6th grade. I like to knit, sew, read, play with my sisters, do school, and look at other people's Web Albums...See you later! ~Lissie

Kate
I'm Kate, I'm 11, I'm Lissie's twin, Sonja's second AG. Here's some stuff I like to do...
travel, dance, play outside, read adventure books, write in my journal, and I will be writing on here a lot! Ciao!~Kate

Elsie
My name is Elsie Eva; I am eight years old and I am a Life of Faith girl. I love my sisters, Sonja, my dolls, my pet Monkey, Skippy, writing in my journal, and having my picture taken. :)

The new JLY's are OUT!!!!!

2009-09-03T07:34:00.000-07:00

The two Gwens....

2009-08-15T17:34:00.001-07:00

Remember the Hopscotch Hill School dolls? AG sold them for a while for girls too young for "big" AG's and too big for Bitty Babies. One of them was named Gwen, and she was a soccer player girl. Here's a link to a picture of her: HERE
(Thanks AG Playthings!)
What's interesting is that now there's another Gwen...HERE
I wonder why they re-used the name???

New Albums....

We got them last Thursday!! I really should have posted sooner but I'm really behind on my blogging...How do you like these? We just love them and we've been playing with them all the last few weeks! They're sweet little dollies.

Well we've been playing dolls a lot lately.
But not with dolls...stuffed animals. We've invented a new game, "Playville". I'll blog about that soon but now I have to go eat breakfast.

A life of Faith dolls

2009-05-10T12:58:00.001-07:00

Elsie
Kathleen
Violet

Nine months ago dad set up a incentive system/points sort of thing; when you get 1000 points you get a doll. Well, we've all changed our minds quite a few times but now I have earned my doll, and Sese, Izzy and Miranda are close!! Mom is ordering them soon, maybe tonight! I'm getting Elsie, Sese's getting Kathleen, and Izzy's getting Violet. Miranda's getting something from American Girl that I'll post about later. I have made lots of stuff for Elsie, a shawl, journal, and copybook...this will probably be my last doll I don't make myself because I have 13 now, but I definately have enough! I can't wait to get them! ;)
~Sonja

Millie comes to visit

Looking at the pictures you're probably wondering what all my stuff is on... My doll 'house' has three floors, all on a bookshelf. I'm going to do blogging on my room soon for Home School Flyers!, so keep checking for more detailed pictures and things of my doll house.
