They're kind of an annual thing...

Now I'm going to tell you something. Today's my blog's birthday! Ta da! (Just so you know.)

I'm really sorry for not posting in a while, but I definitely plan to post more frequently now. Over the next week or so, I'm going to attempt to do a few special things for her birthday. Such as a movie quote thing and an "At Agincourt" review. How does that sound?

P.S. Did you notice the "Tangled" quotes? 

Birthday Photos

I am now officially 14, as of 8:55 pm on January 14.

Whenever one of the kids has a birthday, Mom always tries to take a picture at the minute they were born.

Here are the pictures from my birthday on Saturday.

I had a cake with horse models on top of it a couple years ago, and I had saved the horse models. I had wanted another cake like that one, but Helena hadn't wanted to make it. So we decided to just have cupcakes with the horse models on top. We used blue Sour Belts for the streams, red apples for apples, and jelly beans and chocolate rocks for rocks.

Helena making the cupcakes.

The finished cupcakes from one side...

...from the other side...

...and from the top.

What do you think?

Also presents.

A sweater and a model horse from Mara.

Along with a Klutz twirled paper book.

A big box from Benedick with...

...a puppy inside that wags its tail
when you rub its back.

A cute rubber stamp with a bird on it,
and hair things from Helena.

FRESH CHERRIES!! From Grammy.

And a balloon puzzle, also from Grammy.

The 4th season of the Richard Greene
Robin Hood TV show, from Mom and Dad.

And THE 101 G.A. HENTY NOVELS ON CD!!!!
Also from Mom and Dad.
I have always loved the G.A. Henty books, and
when we came across this I immediately put
it on my wishlist! I am so happy I got it!!! 

I loved watching the 1935 "A Midsummer Night's Dream" for my birthday! It was everything I was expecting, and more!! I had just read it, but I didn't know that the movie was going to be so funny! I especially liked the Pyramus and Thisbe performance at the end! I thought it was hilarious!! The whole movie was great. I guess when you take a book that has some pretty funny parts, and make it into a movie with actors who add little tiny things, and just add their whole manner of acting, it will end up pretty funny. I must have watched it 3 or 4 times since my birthday!

P.S. If you are wondering why it's been so long since I posted, blame it on my Henty CD. I've been reading it as much as possible.

Happy Birthday to Me!

Today is my 14th birthday!!
Dad always puts up signs whenever there's a birthday for one of the children. He tries to make the things on the sign have the person's age in them, and make them about things that the child really likes.

Here are some of my birthday signs.

I really love horses, so for my dessert tomorrow -when we celebrate- for dessert we are going to have cupcakes with little horse models on top (not edible).

Tomorrow we are also going to watch the 1935 "A Midsummer Night's Dream!

A couple days ago I got my third follower. Just in time for my birthday! How nice!

When we go out shopping, I always look for dropped money on the ground.

We are going to have spaghetti for dinner tonight, and then have the real celebration tomorrow, when Mara will be home.

We went out shopping yesterday and Mom bought me two helium balloons.

I named them. The purple one is Benedick, and the pink one is Beatrice, from Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing.

My balloon weight. Mom said the lady filling them with helium
picked out the nicest one.
