BARBIES??

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

Help?!

Kate who hasn't posted for like, 2 years

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.

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

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!!

AG has gone over the top

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?

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

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!!

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

Music Photo

Here's a pretty pic of MOI!! playing my violin!! We (Kate and I) just got them but I have taken violin before, so I'm pretty advanced. (Kate is at the moment making violent screeching noises on hers!! Eeeek!) Anyways, hope you like it! :)

LOVE,

Taylor:)

(Oh, by the way, Kate just posted a new photostory on picasa: http://picasaweb.google.com/munson.dancers/AboutPetRocks# is the link.)

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

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!!!

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.

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??
