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

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.)
