A Picture Perfect Day

           Today I was able to steal my Mom's camera. And so I took these pictures and many more.

A non lake version of a cattail

           This is some plant that I saw at the top of our hill that I thought looked somewhat like a cattail. (Also known as Mullein or Pioneers Toilet Paper.) And so seeing as it seemed to be posing for the camera I decided to give in.

My shadow is following Me!

           There was very nice lighting and since the sun was going down I found a shadow of Me waiting at  the bottom of the hill for the real Me.

the Moon and A Meteorite, can't get much better.

           Then I saw the Moon with a jet passing and I got separate shots of both but, this one put them together so nicely.

             There was an airplane following the jet about half an hour later and I took a picture of it at Harrison's request.

I'm a Star!!!!

            Then I got all my siblings (We all had been banished from the house by our evil ahem, nice Mother.) To pose for me as I took their picture.

Chocolate! Chocolate! Mustache!

             When we had, had hot chocolate earlier today Gregory had been messy and Mom didn't notice it and so there he went with a mustache throughout the day.

pretty picture

              I was actually able to get them all around smiling (I really don't know what Harrison is up to but, it may be he just hasn't had enough practice smiling with his teeth.) And as I said the lighting was perfect.

I'm a little Egyptian

            Beatrice wanted to pose again so they tried the Egyptian walk but couldn't quite get it right so they look more like little teapots. I have another picture of them doing this but Gregory was in the middle of falling and alone Bea looked like she was trying to model something.

A bad self-portrait

            I had decided that there needed to be a picture of me on this day so I tried to do it by myself and it didn't turn out so well. Oh well.

Natasha's house

            I liked the way the sun was on her window so I took the picture for that reason and only that reason.

  Adios,
Margaret

Owl City

 Yesterday night I got to go to an Owl City concert!

 While we were driving there I learned (I might have known it before.) That Minneapolis is also called Dinky Town. When we got to the concert we were late by no means but, it seemed some people had waited through the main part of the storm, (We did get a good storm in though it was shortish.) Some were smart enough to bring umbrellas. When we got into the Varsity Theater we found out that there were only around 20 seats plus a few couches (the couches couldn't see the stage at all) for the entire crowd, and those were in the balcony, we would have to stand for the concert. We sat for a while on a smaller stage and then the music began, but, it was the intro lady named, Jaymee Dee. She had a rather pretty voice, one downfall of hers was she kept on calling herself a cheese ball but, she had pretty songs. Right about then I figured out just how loud it was going to be, very loud. After she sang a few songs she exited and it was Owl City's turn. They got on and Adam Young said it was amazing to be back home in Minneapolis or Minnesota I'm not quite sure but, I think it was Minnesota. And then he began singing with the background voice of Brianne Darr. (She is a girl and, his band was playing to.) Benjamin  (Keren, Becky, Harrison, Beatrice and, Myself, were there to.) Went and grabbed some of the ear plugs that, I guess, were being handed out because of the loudness of it all, and so we all, except Keren, wore earplugs, of which I was very grateful, for the rest of the night. Then after Owl City finished playing a lot of songs there was an encore, and we went back home exhausted!

Ta Ta, Margaret!

Making a guitar

One day I decided to make a play guitar. I ended up not being the one to make it, because Deborah ended up making it. I did hold the tape for her, though, but she ended up pulling it off. 

Then  Deborah gave it to Gregory since his birthday was a few weeks ago. 
I found the idea in a collage book called, Kid Made Modern ALL ABOUT COLLAGE by,Todd Oldham. If you want to know what page it was on I could tell you in a comment.






Buh-Bye,


Beatrice
