(My sister Callie's hair!)

After hunting for eggs on Easter, we had a bit of a cascarone fight.
I'm still finding bits and pieces of confetti in my hair. >.<

Pretty Magnificent Trio of Fluffballs

The other night my brother , Michael, my sister, Callie, and my mom went on a walk with our dogs. They were gone quite a bit longer than usual and it was quite some time before I saw any of them. When I finally did see one of them it was Callie and she had rushed into the house in a frantic manner asking for a flash light. I grabbed it for her and we hopped into the car to a nearby forest/creek/overpass (whatever you'd like to call it hah). She explained that she had heard quite a few meows and that when they went over to investigate, they found some abandoned kittens. There was a box nearby so I'm assuming that's where they were dropped. We're not sure if there were more that just ran off or some that didn't make it but who really knows? Except the people that did it I guess.

So we tried for about an hour to try to lure them to us with no prevail.

The only thing I had to show for it was scratches up and down my legs and ant bites. Ehh.

The next morning when everybody left the house my mom went back down to the creek/foresty overpass and got all of them to come to her.

Pretty amazing thing she did eh?

So now they're living upstairs until we find them a home or until somebody admits that we might actually keep them. But that will mean we'll whole lot of kitties, multiple dogs, and a poop load of fish. Yes I did just say 'poop load'. hehehe. That's quite a lot to take care of.

So without further adieu... MORE KITTY PHOTOS!

Aren't they unfathomably CUTE!??!?

I hope you just nodded your head, 'cause I totally just did.

Oh yeah that just happened. hehe.

THE Shoes Tell You A Lot

Today relief flooded into my life today,

after I took my AP exam,

I felt oddly at peace.

A little brain dead I admit,

but less stressed.

My sisters Callie and Kaitlyn

picked me up early for school,

and we went walking through a forested park nearby.

We actually climbed a tree!

WELL...kinda.

I took a step up onto it and posed

for a picture. haha.

I think my sister Kaitlyn is an expert

on how to climb trees,

Callie gave her the idea today

(after Kaitlyn provided much

knowledge on the art of climbing trees)

to create a book, more of a memoir really!

HAHAHAHA.

I love my sissies.

Hope you all are doing well!

Lip Gloss and Chemistry

I stayed home today.

School seemed exhausting.

But that's not that real reason I didn't go.

I had er, stuff to do.

Yeah stuff!

Don't give me that LOOK!

geez....(haha)

Today I worked on World History outlines,

countless chemistry worksheets,

and studied for a chemistry test

I was supposed to take today.

Not all that exciting,

EXCEPT

I got to eat potato leek soap for lunch...

*mouth waters*

DELICIOUS!

Then later,

my sister Callie and I

shaked our groove things to

THIS:

Yeah Lil Mama...sing it!

I wanna go buy lip gloss now...

Wonder where she gets it?

IT sounds like MAGIC!

Always Interesting Talking to You

So as many of you probably know I have two sisters and one brother. If you didn't know that well then now you do. haha. Anyways! My sister and I were talking a few weeks ago and she asked me to teach her French (because I have four long years of French class under my belt) and I agreed. That was mistake numero uno. hehe. JUST KIDDING CALLIE! :D

Anways tonight we started chatting and this is how our dialogue pretty much went:

(--the dashes symbolize translations--)

Callie: JESSSSIIICCCAAA how come you haven't taught me anything in French except, "may I go to the bathroom" and "grapefruit"???

Jessica: Parce que je suis le professeur de francais!

Callie(glaresat me): I don't know what you just said....

Jessica: *sigh* I said... "because I am the teacher of French!" Fine, fine. I'll teach you something.

Callie: Besides "may I go to the bathroom?"

Jessica: Yes besides may I go to the bathroom...

Callie: Okay, shoot!

Jessica: Repetez!

Callie: Reeyypeyteeez

Jessica: No no not yet!!

Callie: I thought you said repeat!

Jessica: I did but not yet!!!

Callie: FIINE! Are you ready yet?

Jessica: OUI! Okay...repetez! Est-ce que je peux aller aux toilletes?

Callie: NOT AGAIN! I already know how to say may I go the bathroom..

Jessica: hahahhahahahha I know, I just thought it was funny

Callie: grrrrrrr...

Jessica: Okay, okay... "Ou est l'ordinateur?" --means where's the computer?--

Callie: OOoh es ley ordinate--umm I forgot

Jessica: Non, non, non Callie! Repetez: Ou est l'ordinateur?

Callie: ooh ey luhh ordinatey-ree

Jessica: *slaps head* non, non, non, Callie! >>in French accent>> I QUIT!

Callie: Nooooo! YOU'RE FIRED!!

Jessica: FINE!

Callie: FINE!

Jessica: Au revoir ma soeur!! Tu es impossible! --Goodbye my sister! You are impossible!--

Callie then runs upstairs and I sit and think, then proceed to chase her upstairs and give her a bear hug.

Jessica: Je t'aime Callie! --I love you Calie!--

Callie: Je t'aime tu aussi Jessica --I love you Jessica!--

Jessica: Hey you actually learned something!!

Callie: grrrrr....

Well that was one of the many interesting conversations I have had with my sister! Haha. You haven't heard anything, when my sister Kaitlyn and my little brother Michael get in the middle of it we get even more loud and crazy! Do you have any siblings? Any crazy conversations? I'm all ears! :)

Have a great week you guys!
