Fall 08 Randomness

At the apartment we did a lot of interesting things.
Here are just a few.

Not your typical pillow fight.
Katie took it from me knowing it is my favorite pillow. But I did get it back :)
Roommate council in session.
This happened a lot and sometimes it's known to happen until 4 or so in the morning.

Doing homework in the bathroom.
Well once upon a day the kitchen was occupied, and I had a painting to do.
I didn't want to head up to campus so I resorted to this spot. I actually came to find it quite peaceful. So I turned up the music, sang a long, and painted away. Taresa joined me, til she fell asleep that is :)


A Nightly Ritual
At night Ashla enjoyed eating ice, and I laying on the couch pondering with the green pillow.

Roommate work out/ high school musical/dance/ hoolahoopin/ ballpunchin/ country dance instruction/ stylishness/ embarrassment

This was a certain time to remember. Who knows exactly what we were doing, but we did have a good time. We always planned to have a second one of these, but um somehow it just didn't happen, I'm not sure why? :)


Conclusion:

You never know what will happen when after curfew, when all the guys are gone, the blinds are shut, and the girls are left to themselves to party:)

Summer Smiles

During the summer I started a service group. I was involved in some service programs at college, so I wanted to try and continue that during the summer. We did a different service project every week. It wasn't as successful as I had hoped, but it was still a good experience. Every week was different and sometimes the turn out wasn't so great, but we still were able to make people smile.
I had shirts made. It was so exciting when I finally got them!
The front. This is the logo I made!
The back. The lovely slogan.

Some of the members.
We did a lot of different projects. Some of them were, cleaning yards, cleaning house, humanitarian projects (jingle boxes, quilts, stuffed animals, file folder games), visiting nursing homes, delivering baked goods, caroling, and more.
Decorating cupcakes to take to veterans during the 4th of July.
Singing at the Senior Citizens Center

Humanitarian File Folder Games

Playing Bingo with the elderly. And they invited us for lunch...oh boy :)

Making roles to take caroling. My favorite was when one elderly lady forgot we already told her our names before we sang the song, so we had to all say them again.

Summer '08: Gettin' Creative

During the summer Heidi and I decided to get more familiar with the kitchen.
We came up with some interesting creation, some successful and some not so successful.
This is when the cake decorating began! And oh have we had fun with that!

Our favorite, Devil Cookies

Cream Puffs
"Specialty Jello"
Other times at home you find some questionable things....
Like moldy bread, yuck!

And what is that you ask. Scary mutton!
Yeah...and that's why i don't eat it!
Plus i think it stinks!

Summer '08 Photo Shoot with the Hermanas





One fine summer day when the sun was shinning us three hermanas went over the river and through Tumble Weed Lane to Grandmothers house for a fun filled time of a photo shoot!

Being pretty in pink, we had a blast!
These aren't the best pictures,
but the more of the fun ones :)


Ohhh la la, check out those sun glasses!

Heidi, Anena, & MaryLynn
Sisters, sisters, there were never....
Catch her if you can
