I have a new blog: www.ninbean.me

Emma and Anja will still blog here (not that they are now, but I’m one to talk). I hope to blog more often at my other blog. So…yeah. Adios!

Ms. Jennifer and Kaylee are moving to Georgia, because Ms. J got a new job.  Mom and I drove out to help them move, and brought Kaylee back with us to keep her for a week, until her school starts. Today is her last day with us. Her mom is coming to get her at 7. There’s a lot of other details that make it a lot worse, but I can’t say them on my blog.  I’m really going to miss her. She’s like my sister, and I can’t believe she’s moving for good.  I was crying a lot last night knowing that that was my last restless night sleeping with her. She ended up taking us the whole top half of the bed, and so I had to sleep curled up in the corner.  I wish that this was some April Fool’s joke post that I usually post on April first, but it’s really not. My little sister is moving across the country today. No joke.

Today Anja had her basketball game. They won 6 to 9! It happened when Hannah,Kristina,and I were gone… maybe we are bad luck charms… Anyway,during Anja’s basketball game Hannah,Kristina,and I were at a class at Mrs.Elizibeth’s house for this class thing. What you do there is your parents drop you off at her house and we all take turns playing songs,then you give comment’s or constructive criticism afterwards we eat donuts…

Obviously, I haven’t been into writing poems lately. Instead, I’ve been drawing. Here are two of my most recent drawings.

Wizard and Dragon

Robot and Bird

P.S. Sorry, the “Robot and Bird” one is upside down.

I really need to start blogging more. Well, I’ve got a bunch of things to say…so…yeah. Anyway. I’ll start from the beginning.

Our Christmas was great! My favorite part about it was our visit to Iowa. As Emma said, we went there to see some of our aunts, uncles, cousins, and our beloved Grandma. We had a lot of fun with them. I think that my favorite Christmas present was this really cool easel that Mom and Dad got me. That or the Doctor Who poster Dad gave me.

Our New Years was great, too. We had a some good friends over, painted our faces (mom and dad weren’t too happy about that), and watched the…well…I’m not really sure what it was called, but it was some New Year’s celebration thing in Dallas. So…yeah. That’s pretty much it.

Also, WE GOT A CRICUT!!! If you don’t know what it is, Google it. It’s to hard to explain. But we’ve been making lots of things with it, including birthday invitations…which reminds me…

MY BIRTHDAY IS IN 19 DAYS!!! HURAY!!! HURAH!!! My 13th…the day I am officially a teenager…my golden birthday…heheheHeheHEhEheHEHEHAHAHAHAHAHAHHOHOHO!!!! I CAN’T WAIT!!!!!!!!! Which reminds me….

I’M GOING TO SCHOOL THIS FALL!!! This is my first time going to any school except homeschool. It’s a small private school, from Tuesday-Friday, 8-12. I’m in for sure, but Emma and Anja will find out soon.

Sorry I haven`t posted in a while. A lot of stuff has been happening. First Christmas… For Christmas we decided to go see my Aunt and Uncle. A lot of the relatives came,and we literally spent half the time doing Perler Beads. We got a lot of cool presents,and had a great time. Then Basket Ball… Anja started doing basket ball in December. they lost every game except for one in which was 18 to 2. Then New Years… For New Years we had the Harrison`s,and the Albright`s  over. We saw one of our friends being interviewed about it. We colored on our faces,and did crazy hair styles to each other. Then School… We are applying for this school. Kristina already got accepted,and Anja and I will find out in February.  Please pray that we would find out what God wants us to do. Then God Box… Dad made this new website called www.ourgodbox.com. You can look at our God stories,submit your own,and look at others. I have to go now.

Tomorrow, we were going to go to Iowa to see some of our family as a Christmas vacation. But today, Dad took the car to get the oil changed to make it compatible for our trip, but they said that in order to drive all the way to Iowa, we need a part that they don’t have. So please pray that God will provide somehow so that we can still go and be safe.

Actually, that title is completely misleading. It’s still in the mid-60′s. There’s no snow. We don’t need to wear long sleeve shirts or jackets. But it is beginning to look a lot like Christmas in apartment #909. We went and got a Christmas tree and some lights the other day, and we got our Christmas decorations out from our storage unit. We got a real tree, because Mom is allergic to fake trees. We also made a wreath out of all the branches that we cut off the back of the tree.

It’s also beginning to smell a lot like Christmas in the kitchen. Mom’s made apple cider caramels, white chocolate peppermint bark with milk chocolate ganache in the middle, and at the moment she is making peppermint brownies. Okay, you should hear what she’s doing. She’s making homemade double chocolate brownies, then putting homemade peppermint frosting on top, and THEN making homemade chocolate ganache on top of the peppermint frosting, and THEN, she’s sprinkling peppermint bits on top. Wow.

Well, Emma keeps pestering me to stop. Apparently, she needs to check her email.
Over and out!

Hello. My name is Kristina Elizabeth Armitage. Do call me Nina. I don’t know if you remember me…my sister, the renowned Emma has taken over the blog for the past month or so. The last you heard of me, (Kristina Elizabeth Armitage), was October 12, when I wrote that dumb poem. Do you remember me now? Nina, the dumb poem writer? Ah, excellent. You do remember. Now, if you don’t mind, I shall begin my babbling. Or my jabbering. Or my rambling. Or my profound, intellectual, and discerning insights.Whichever you prefer.

Twelve days ago, November 19th, was Emma’s birthday. Actually, Emma and I were visiting our best friends in North Carolina for her birthday. We had a great time there playing capture the flag, Blitz, and lots more. When we got home, we had a birthday party for her and invited the Harrisons and the Prestons. We had sushi for dinner (a family favorite. Yum!) and homemade creme brulee (is that how you spell it?) for dessert. Emma’s friend, Lauren, gave her a really pretty scarf she made, Mom and Dad got Emma a loom-knitting kit and some yarn. So far she’s made a multicolored scarf for Mom, and a blue scarf for me. I bought some orange yarn and made a scarf, too. That thing is addicting.

Well, we listen to Pandora a lot, and I was listening to the Britt Nicole station, when this really cool song came on by Addison Road. It was called, What Do I Know Of Holy. The lyrics especially were really good. Copy and paste this to see a music video of it with lyrics: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVScvSBsm40

Well, not much has happened lately. Um…yeah. Well, bye.

My birthday is in eighteen days! I can`t wait! I am turning eleven. BYE

P.S. I AM FEELING VERY CRAZY!!!
