Pretty Princesses - Not!

Mom and I were coloring today in the "Pretty Princess" book while waiting for our food at the Foothills restaurant.

KNOCK OFF of SnowWhite-CinderElla-Little Mermaid and Bell all mixed together in one Princess!

She's not too pretty.

We improved them alright! 

Their eyelashes were really long - they looked like spider legs!

Mom colored the bat, spider, blood, and red queen. 

I colored the Zombie Princess.

Minecraft Maniac

This creeper is highly explosive as you might know. But it hasn't gone BOOM yet. Well not much at least. It k nocked down my end tower and the roof. Though green and sad, he has a family of a skeleton wife, creeper son, skeleton son, and an Enderman daughter.

This skeleton has a family and SHE usually hangs around the lava pools and badlands. She is white, of course, and dropped her bow and arrow in a lava pool. The two Steves try and attack this wonderful family and never succeed. The two Steves are great friends.

These are all the different Biomes - badlands, lava pools, end tower, jungle, waterfall, desert, home, mooshroom, (a "mooshroom" is an animal!) and ocean.

You might not recognize this one, but it is a Mod my brother and I use a lot. It's called Thaumcraft. We collect essence in these tiny bottles and we find nodes with our cool goggles. You use your wand to suck the essence out of the nodes. For example, if there is a node above a lava pool, it will probably have inferno essence in it. If it is above an ocean it will have aqua essence.

This little piggy has escaped many times! Every once in a while Steve gets the urge to kill him! But then saves him for when he has no food and half a hunger bar left.

Welcome to my Room! Don't worry, I'm not dead - I'm just resting! Take a look around. Notice where my pickaxe is. And there is another half with the crafting table.

This is my house (one of them). I even have a garden - on TOP of my house! And a bridge. And a slave inside a fence. Oh wait, that's the pig.

I'm a Minecraft MANIAC!!!!

Lilah Bean Kids

I drew these pictures in the Flagstaff airport. What a day! The plane was cancelled. We took a taxi to Phoenix. We had a great time by going swimming at the hotel. They had the best lemonade ever.

Halloween Disaster (Christmas in July)

This needs an explanation from mom:
Hi, Sandy here! This song came about because Lilah was singing Christmas carols day and night and the words were all stuck in our heads and we couldn't figure out WHY! I thought this might have something to do with the idea of "Christmas in July" since it IS July... Anyway, Lilah had the words wrong and was singing "Deck the halls with bows of Jolly..." and I was trying to explain that it is "Holly" and what holly is and it's like a girl's name... and "deck" can mean "decorate" or actually it can also mean "hit or punch"... and since we are going slightly crazy from singing these songs over and over, you can see how this weird song came about!


Deck the girl who's name is Holly
Fa la la la la la la la la la la la la
Then go after her friend Molly
Fa la la la la la la la la la la la la

Clean the bloodstains and hide the bodies
Fa la la la la la la la la la la la la

Trolls and goblins scare little Carol
Fa la la la la la la la la la la la la
Don we now our zombie apparel
Fa la la la la la la la la la la la la

See the blazing house before us
Fa la la la la la la la la la la la la
Strike the match and join the riot
Fa la la la la la la la la la la la la

Follow me into the dark forest
Fa la la la la la la la la la la la la
Let us search for Holly's treasure
Fa la la la la la la la la la la la la

Watch your step, don't inhale the gases
He he he he he hee hee hee hee
Hail and lightning, break your glasses
He he he he he hee hee hee hee

Sing our innocence, all as one
He he he he he hee hee hee hee
Heedless of the mess and all we've done
He he he he he hee hee hee hee

The Poisoned Egg

One day at Lilah's house, the Easter Bunny came.
Lilah's friends came to help collect the eggs.

"This one looks funny," said Francie.
"You're right," said Teagan and Lilah.
"Come on guys, you're just being silly," said Addison.
"But it looks funny to ME!" said Teagan and Francie.

"OOOO!" said Lilah.
"Look at the fireworks outside!"

"Where's the egg!!?" screamed everyone.

Next Easter, Lilah and her friends had a slumber party. In the morning they looked everywhere for the Easter Eggs, but they did not find any. But they DID find an Easter Bunny lying on the floor.
(Hint: he wasn't on the floor all year.)

They went to get Mommy and Daddy, but when they came back, he was...GONE!

"Where'd he go?!
Where'd he go?!
Where'd he go!?"

"The eggs from last year are gone TOO!"
"NOOOOOO!!!!" cried everybody.

Now you think of your own ending. Please have a good time and don't cry because I didn't finish the end of the story.

The Ghost in the Bathroom

This is my story, that I wrote.

Now let's begin...

The Ghost in the Bathroom

It was a rainy day at Lilah's house. All Lilah's friends came to play.

"I'm so excited!" said Lilah.
"Here they come" said Lilah.

"Hi Lilah," said Anna.
"What do you want to play with first little stinky-head?" said Addison.
"That's not nice to say, Addison." said Francie and Teagan.
Lilah said, "I want to play Princesses up in my bedroom."

Hours and hours passed and finally it was time to go.

Lilah said "goodbye" to all her friends.

"Addison did not leave," said Lilah to Addison's mother.
"Addison, come down here right now!" said Addison's mother.

"HELLLLLP!!"

"Who was that?!"

"Why is the door locked?" asked Lilah.
"I don't know!" whined Addison.
"There is a ghost!" cried Addison.

Lilah went downstairs to get a snack for the ghost.
The ghost grabbed the two cookies and went back in the crack in the floor.
But the door was still locked.

Addison's mother and Lilah had an idea. They got a piece of paper and they slid it through the door and it popped open the door.

"HURRAY-Y-Y-Y!!!"

The End

Meet My Dolls

My first doll is Paummi. Paummi gets into a lot of trouble! Usually she makes Clara break a leg (and I mean really - break a leg!) - she jumps off mom's bed. And she pushes Clara off mom's bed too! But when I'm around, she's a little angel. Rosie, Isabella and Clara are the ones who tattle-tale that Clara broke her leg and Paummi did it. Paummi has flower tattoos on the bottoms of her feet. Paummi is scared of the dark. Paummi likes to do summersaults. Paummi usually looks suspicious. She is 7.

 This doll is named Rosie. Rosie is kind and caring, has a very big imagination, she likes to play games that nobody else does - that I think of. She takes the parts that are played by boys. She has a tattoo on her chin right now (it's a butterfly). She is a really nice doll. She is also afraid of the dark. Rosie likes to climb. She is 4.

 This doll is Clara. She always breaks her leg! She loves doing plays. She is kind and caring too. She loves looking out the window and seeing all the pretty trees and flowers. She loves to read "Olivia". I have a little secret for you... I never knew why, but Clara seems to be my favorite doll. In the picture it doesn't look like it, but Clara is black - she has dark skin. She has a sun tattoo on her leg.

"Why are you writing us!?" Clara is unpredictable. She is 6.

This is Isabella. Isabella is kind to others, always is healthy, but never eats her vegetables! Sometimes, Amaret tells me that Isabella snuck into her pillow and started eating her donut  but I never believe her because Isabella doesn't like donuts. (The pillow IS a donut!) She has a sunflower tattoo on her cheek. Isabella is thoughtful, adventurous, and good at math. And she loves to giggle a lot. Sometimes she sneaks into my closet and looks around and pulls my clothes off the shelf. Isabella is like a bat - she loves the dark and likes to hang by her feet in my closet - and squeaks! she is 4.

 This is my twin doll, Amaret. I got her when I was four on my birthday. She usually likes to take naps for a couple of days or weeks, maybe. She snores! Loud! She is not EXACTLY my twin because she is only five (and I'm seven). She is cute and does cartwheels. (I didn't know how to do cartwheels until I was six). She is like an acrobat.
