Olympic Sledding

So, today we went sledding on a very bumpy, packed down, STEEP hill. It was very hard on my rear end...and not extremely fun for me...!! But here's some pictures anyways... click here to see an album of the good pictures Dad took. Oh speaking of the Olympics! GO USA HOCKEY GUYS TOMORROW!!!! hahaha!

Miranda Sings

Miranda sings a song that she made up as she went. With the parrot Granny gave us. It repeats what you say twice...and is really quite annoying at times. This is just what we do....a lot.

enjoy! :)

(PS-when she throws it, it hits Isabel. Not me. :D)

One of the BEST series in the world....

The Mysterious Benedict Society!! I just got addicted to this series, it is such a page turner and soo interesting. It is about four smart kids that get to be secret agents. They only JUST get out of some very dangerous situations! I don't want to spoil it for you any more! Just try reading it, you will be hooked. (I read it twice in two days, it was so great.)
The braces are better! :D
All for now~

A random, random splurge of blogging

Here is a very wonderful picture of Daddy and our loving Cat, Seamus. He just LOVES being dressed up. :D

Today will be very busy....we have a piano recital, then about 4 hours at dance for St. Patrick's day classes. No, we don't dance for four hours. First is the twin's class, then an hour of waiting, then Sese and I do 2 classes. A lot of waiting around. BUT I've been keeping myself busy during the waits with crocheting and knitting! I'm preparing early for the Craft Fair at our library in the summer. Last year I made American Girl doll shawls and headbands, and I think I sold everything except one shawl which wasn't made of a very pretty color, and some other headbands which also weren't very cute. This year I'm also making doll ponchos and I don't know what.

bye. I'm done now. My breakfast is waiting!

Ps~ I really want to get some pictures of my namesakes (Sonja Henie, Sonja the duck from Peter and the Wolf) on here!! Hopefully that will happen soon....*looks mischevious*

I AM STILL ALIVE

DON'T WORRY, FANS, I SURVIVED MY AMAZING EXPERIENCE AT THE MIDWEST IRISH DANCE CHAMPIONSHIPS AND AM STILL ALIVE AND WELL!! Though you may have thought I wasn't since I hadn't posted here for EVER....

Well I am getting braces in 1 week. I got my spacers yesterday--you can hardly see them, and I can hardly tell that they are there! We went to the American Girl place last Saturday--see my doll blog (semdollhouse.blogspot.com) to read about that and other doll stuff. I also have crocheted several more animals and other things like the polar bear I did a while ago. I'm planning on taking some pictures of them soon....

I am also very glad that I now have 10 FOLLOWERS!! Thank you so much!! I just love attention on my blogs. heeheeeheee.

Oh. Talking of dance, we had a teacher from Ireland come to our dance school a while ago to teach us new steps! She comes every January after reigonals...so now we have a bunch of new steps to work on. And also St. Patrick's day is coming up....

I have to go now, my sister is kicking me off the computer....comment, please!! You know I LOVE comments! :D

Bye and I promise that I will blog at least once a month from now on...(!)

(I mean, I don't know how it happened. Last year I got 37th!!! I was just hoping to recall today! WOW!!! I do not know what I did!!!) (The picture is of me, my friend from another school in our area, and another girl from our school. We were all so surprised we qualified!! They were crying but I was too happy! We were just hugging and screaming!!) (I'm the one with black, pink, & blue, and they are the yellow & white and the purple & white.)

Well maybe this wasn't so short after all!!
