The Wingfeather Saga

I suppose you've heard Firefly and Creator's Son talking about the Wingfeather Saga. Now it's my turn! The saga is about three kids, Janner, Tink, and Leeli, their mother, Nia, and Podo, their grandpa. Andrew Peterson, the author, is amazing at what he does. He put an amazing amount of characters, and places, and names, and hilarious footnotes, not to mention awesome critters that he made up! All in all, it's a awesome saga! It's composed of four books; (in order) On The Edge Of The Dark Sea Of Darkness,  North! Or Be Eaten..., Monster In The Hollows, and The Warden And The Wolf King.  I warn you, do not read the backs of the books after the one you're reading, it will ruin EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!  We just finished the third book and there is a BIG problem: The fourth book doesn't come out until...        ** 2013 **        That's a year from now!   I just finished the third book and now you tell me I gotta wait a year before I find what out  happens?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!  Peterson! Hurry it up!!!!!!!!  Flabbuck!!!!!!!!!  * Ahem * This means I'll have to wait a whole 'nother year before I find out what happens to the Igibys! Flabbuck.   :(

What is in your room?

I do not know what is in your room. But I do know what's in my room- A bed (obviously), a window, 2 dressers, an aquarium with a snake in it, a bed side desk, a bookshelf (with many books, as I love to read!), a closet, some shelves, and a little table. On my walls- A picture that I've colored, some paintings that I painted, some paintings that I didn't paint, 3 shelves displaying Breyer model  horses, a bulletin board, and a LOT of horse posters.
  

So what is in your room?

Horsey wall.

SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It snowed!!! On the 12th! On me! And I played in it! And why is this so awesome, you ask? Because I live in Texas! And in case you don't know, it never snows in Texas (unless you live in the Panhandle, which I don't).  So my mom woke me up by saying "look out your window."  I sit up sleepily, hobble over to my window and shriek with joy. Little white snowflakes were drifting down.   * Ahem *   Did you hear me??!!     IT WAS SNOWING!!!!    I quickly throw on my coat and jeans and grab my camera. (That's right, I am going to enlighten you with more pictures. heh heh heh!) After I run outside I dash over to Trixie's paddock (taking pics all the while.) and exuberantly tell her how much I was enjoying the snow (imagine her delight!). After I repeat the process with Gypsy, I run to the hill that I had tried to get Sasha to pull me down and grab my sled.  I sled down once then went and got mom, my camera man. By now the snow had started sticking to the ground pretty good so I got a couple good sled rides. We had to babysit our 7 year old neighbor, Doodle, so she was here when I went in to eat and warm up. She came with me when I came back out, so she got some good rides down the hill too. After that, when the hill had melted, we jumped on the trampoline which was covered with snow. It was really fun and slippery. I thank God for the snow and that awesome day.

One thought after another...

         News flash = I love horses!

      

A lot! Speaking of horses...

• We got our 2nd horse on Oct 29, 2011! She is 10 yrs old, 15 hands, and a palomino. Her name is Gypsy. 
• Also Trixie turned 7,
•  and I found a new fort,
• and my snake finally shed,
• and Sasha turned 7,
• and we get to go skiing sometime in March,
• which reminds me that my  birthday is coming up, 
• and... WAIT A MINUTE! It's already February! Wow, time flies!  * Sigh * 
•  I am also reading the  awesomest book saga in the universe! It's called the Wingfeather Saga.
•   My mom  and I get to go on a field trip with Firefly's family soon, to some sort of museum.
• Who invented math and why did they make it so complicated?

• Yay! My basket ball team has gone undefeated! (So far, that is) I play basketball for the YMCA, and it is my favorite sport. (It's also the only one I've ever played.)

 I think that is about it for the random thoughts flying about in my head today.  Mustang







Gypsy





Me and Firefly

I met Firefly at our home school co-op, but the really weird thing is we had been going to the same co-op for 3 years and even been in quite a few of the same classes and hardly acknowledged each other's presence! Then my mom (Dee Ann) became the director of co-op and Firefly's mom (Boonie mom) became her assistant. The moms meet up at Firefly's house for a meeting and that was the first time we had ever played together. It was kind of awkward at first, but we got along good pretty quick! Soon after that we went to a co-op registration along with another friend, Squirt. The next day was her brother, Creator's Son's, birthday and we came over and played a long time. We've been great friends since! Through her I've gotten an account on Club penguin, meet many new friends, and had a lot of fun! We've had many fun adventures and she's like a sister now!                   


 Here are some pictures of our adventures!

And you thought you were crazy!

I am a very crazy person. I'm sure you know this by know. But even now I surprise myself: Like... Trying to get my dog to pull me down a hill in a sled (no snow). And sledding down a steep hill (still no snow). And trotting bareback (ugh, that's a bad memory). Well, the list is long.

As for Sasha pulling me down the hill; I start out with two rocks in the sled and tie Sasha to the sled. She won't budge. Great. I untie her and she picks up a stick and runs off. (Ding!) Light bulb! ;) I call her and tie her back to the sled  and throw the stick. She takes off, sled and all. Next day- I get her all hooked up to the sled...

SHE WONT PULL THE STINKIN' SLED.

Period. Nothing I can do about it. Grrr. :( It was getting pretty dark so I headed home (SO done with Sasha pulling the sled. period. exclamation point.). I just so happened to pass a steep hill and I had the sled and it wasn't dark yet and it was too just darn tempting! I tie the sled to a tree and send the sled down with a rock; the sled stops and the rock flies out. Hmm, comforting! I hop in the sled and ease myself down until the rope stops me. OK, I can do this!? I say a quick prayer and ease myself over the edge and off I go! I pick up speed quickly, as this is a VERY steep hill. When I hit the end of the rope I am moving along quite nicely and I hear a pop and down I go on the steep hill. Oh yeah and the steep slope is scattered with many little trees about the size of your index finger and about 4 feet tall.  Just adds to the fun of it (nervous laugh)! So here I am, zooming down a hill (very steep mind you!) at about 10 MPH with no snow (still), and 4 foot tall demon trees. I arrive at the bottom, breathless, a death grip on the sled, and a big smile on my face. After a few moments I jump up and scream THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

I trudge back up the steep hill and reveal my story to mom. And as for trotting bareback... Well, I'd rather not go there! :{  To be continued next time I do something completely idiotic worth blogging about! Till then, Mustang.
