The Castle Bard

Hi everyone! I really meant to post some pictures, but the stupid computer I am writing on will not import the stupid pictures from my stupid memory card I save stupid pictures on. Sorry, you may have to wait. On the other hand, at least I'm posting, right? Ha ha. That's funny. I'm actually posting!!! Never mind.

I was thinking about making movie. I'd been thinking about it for a loooooonnnngggg time, as you can tell. Then, New Hearts Studio made one, and that made up my mind. I decided to make one based on a book, with--don't worry--the author's consent.
May I surprise you a little? My sister Rachel's book, 'The Castle Bard'. I love that book VERY much. She's re-writing it, but I'm still loving it!
I'm starting a script, and was thinking about the cast... I need two midgets (or dwarfs, whichever you prefer), an elf, a bard, a princess, two guests, a king, and a queen. Let me see.. and, oh yes! three badguys, and three villagers with... well, a need for a sense of direction. and a swords master.
Wow.
That's all I have to say.
Any volunteers? heh heh, Sam has already volunteered to be the dwarf that blows things up. Very willingly, I might add.
Well, I should tear myself away from writing about movies, or else you could be stuck with an extremely long post that would take about four days to write. Don't worry, just kidding ;D

I'm Back! Literally! :)

I am SOOOOOOO sorry I haven't posted for so long! I shall tell you why, in case you were wondering, I was gone so long.
We went to California! We have been gone since January the third, and have only just arrived Thursday! On and off, as went went from Louisiana, to Texas, then New Mexico, Arizona, and finally California! we really had no internet, and/or I was busy hiking and exploring, and taking a gazillion, bazillion photos, all of which I shall post tomorrow!
From San Diego, we went to Palm Springs, where we definitely had no internet. Now we're home, and ever so glad!!

Ever since we got back, I disappeared (with Sam too, when I could drag him away from his Legos) into our 'cubby hole', making valentines for the family, and discovering scrapbooking supplies!! I was so excited, for I intend to scrapbook for a family, after Christie hands me the photos, for a surprise, and make a 'nieces and nephew' book, which will hopefully grow! ;P

Guess what! I am also making and selling survival bracelets! I have black, green, red, and I can mix them up even! Booyah!
Well, I have other things I need to desperately update!
I also posted because I wanted you to know I wasn't dead and I'm not ever going to post again. Because obviously, I'm not dead! Or else I wouldn't be posting right now. Or am I? I don't know. Oh, hi! You're still reading? heh heh, got to go! (I seriously hope you weren't reading. I mean, really hope.)

Oh, yes, and by the way!
HAPPY VALENTINES!
Happy valentines to whoever is reading this, and whoever is not! I hope y'all are enjoying this weekend!

Merry Christmas with MiLeS oF sMiLeS all around!

On December the 16th, Dan and Stephanie got married!
It was a gorgeous wedding. Melissa made both cakes, the bride's and groom's cake. Stephanie wore a beautiful dress that shimmered when she moved. it had a long train and stunning long veil, and her hair was done up prettily. Dan had to keep from making a smile that, if it could, would go a mile long. :-)
There were roses and baby's breath for decoration.
Melissa played a number of beautiful songs, Daddy preached from the Bible, and we took pictures.
In the very middle of this, although (very thankfully) not many people heard this, a long BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP! was heard. Could you believe I forgot to empty my memory card?
Aside from that, everything was just so pretty.
We blew bubbles when they came out to go to the car, and then everyone headed to our home.
The chocolate eminence (the groom's cake) was so good, it was gone before a few of us got to taste it.
The butterscotch cake (the bride's cake) was so good as well, that the top two tiers disappeared.
(Look at Dan's smile!!!!) ------->
(if any of my pictures are blurry, please feel free to blame my camera.... heheh! :) )
Well, I was just updating my blog! I hope everyone has a very marvelous, very grand, and a very awesome Christmas!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS WITH MiLeS oF sMiLeS aLl ArOuNd!!!

Fishing in the Christmas Season

This is what Christmas Day looked like at our house last year. Crazy, am I right?

Well, as I've probably already said in my last post, after Thanksgiving dessert---no, let me rephrase that---as SOON as Thanksgiving dessert has been eaten, it Christmas season! I can still remember last year, when Christie and Joe argued over whether Christmas season was after dessert, or the day after Thanksgiving.

And tomorrow, I'm going fishing! I'm going with Me, Myself, and I. No, just kidding lol ;). I'm going with my mom, my dad, and my brother-in-law, Michael. and me.
But, take note, Michael said we're going 'catching, not fishing.'
We're getting up at 5:30 so we can get there for high tide, I think, I forgot. Sam wanted to go, but if I don't know him, he is NOT willing to get up at 5:30. He's the Night Owl, I'm the Early Bird. Not that Sam is grumpy or anything. Though I do find you're a lot chirpier if you go to sleep on time and get up early.

Well, a very Happy Thanksgiving to EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!! God bless you all!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is just right around the corner! It's a rule in our house, that when dessert has been finished on Thanksgiving Day...night...it's Christmas season!!
Although you may think I am quite crazy, Thursday morning I wrapped the VERY LAST Christmas gift on my list for people. If you get what I mean. haha ;p. AND IT'S STILL NOVEMBER!!!!! I am over-the-top excited for Christmas Day to come so I can give my gifts out.
Yes, amigos, 'I am PREPARED!' that's a quote from 'Hoodwinked', said in a hillbilly accent.
Yo tengo una familia grande. That's Spanish for 'I have a large family.' Pointing out that I have to get a lot of gifts. Yeah, I am learning Spanish!

So, Sam and I are building a fort! yeah... another one.... but this time, it'll be even better! It's out of sight, unless you REALLY really look for it, and it's going to be---we're hoping it will be--- taller than our last fort!

Sam: What if the walls rot and the ceiling falls down...... and we're in it?!
Me: Sam, it won't.
Sam: It might!
Me: Whether or not it rots, there will be stakes holding them up. And we can re-build it.
Sam: .........I still think this is a bad idea.

but, other than that, Sam is working hard on it, despite his skepticism.
Well, I should go. I'm hearing sarcastic remarks about 'if you spend too much time on the computer, you will grow up to be really stupid and your brains will rot.'

Fall, Fall, Loverly Fall

Ahh, what a fantastic season! my velly favorite. Warm in the day, and very cool at night. You can wear your favorite sweaters to church in the morning, and in the day, it's just so perfectly warm! And it looks so pretty with the red leaves.
Once, I was doing something in the kitchen, and I just happened to glance out our window and see three birds on our porch. One was in the birdbath, and one was flying about, and the last one was hopping around on the porch. It actually made me feel like it was spring, because of all our greenery
left in the woods.
The only fault with fall is that we can't swim anymore!
But I suppose fall is also more of a baking season..... yum!

I end this post with awe at the beauty that surrounds me everywhere I go, Dear Reader, and I hope you leave this post feeling the same way.

Snowman Village! And Pictures!

Sweet Caroline
This is called....Grasshopper Pie. It tastes very good, though. It has chocolate, mint, and an Oreos crust. And lots of grasshoppers. Just kidding. :-)
Sam took this picture, actually. It is very hard to do, I suppose, although I KNOW it's hard to do with my camera. It's a sailboat. Just so you know.

Last night, Sam, Emmy and I slept on the trampoline! It was the perfect temperature, and the wrong place to sleep. I slept in the middle. And guess what. I had every elbow and knee sticking into my stomach and back. Oh joy. This morning, at, yes, Reader, 4:17 precisely, I went inside to get a sweater. Naturally, I presumed, since the lights were on, that Daddy was up, and it was 6:30. But, was I right? Oh, no, not nearly. It was Joe and Christie. They were playing Age of Empires with Dan. They had just finished, and were watching movies. Or episodes. I was squinting (since I didn't have my glasses or contact in, of course) at the clock, and had just made out what time it was, when Christie nearly scared me out of my wits.
"Good morning, Molly!" said Wide Awake Christie. Joe hardly glanced up. Yeah, busy, I presume, watching a movie?
Of course, I didn't express anything when she scared me. I told her "Good morning, it is very cold outside" and I zipped upstairs, back down, and was, with Very Warm Socks compared to the Very Cold Air, back, snuggled deep into my sleeping back.
-----Minutes later----oh, hours? Sorry. My bad. ---
7:30
"AAAAAHHHHH! No, STOP, NO NO NO! CHRISTIE!!! MOLLY, HELP ME!!!" Sam shrieked. I could hear him VERY clearly. And if I missed my mark, very VERY VERY clearly.
"No." That was my reply. "Good nigh-- CHRISTIE!!!!!!!!"
Now I knew what had happened to Sam.
"My feet are frreeezing!" Christie said.
"Yeah, so Sam and I NOTICED."
I am not looking forward to more "Molly, it's Friday! It's cool enough to go camping!" Alright, fine. I admit. I have the tiniest excitement.


So, recently, I decided I was going to make something out of beads. SOMETHING. But what?

Sam: It would be cool if you made a snowman out of some beads.
Me: Yeah, well, just what would I do with that? (snaps fingers) Yeah, thanks Sam!
Sam: ......You're welcome?

So, since I have my own camera!!! I can post my own pictures! Ever since Christie decided to save up for Annie, she promised me Sharpshooter. Oh, don't you like the name? :-

I've added more stuff to my Snowman Village, but I forgot to take pictures of it, and right now, I'm just too lazy to upload it anyways. Heheh. ;)


A few days ago, I went outside (when it was warm! imagine that!) and took some pictures.
