Horseback Riding

Over the weekend, my mom had to go to an art auction because she was in charge of it. Since our dad was in Ireland and Mom had the auction, it was arranged for us kids, Sophie, Lucy, and John, to stay with our cousins in Horace for the weekend. When we were in Horace we got to go horseback riding. I got to ride Hada with one of my cousins leading her and then I got to ride Penny by myself and then ride Hada by myself. It was a lot of fun.

Lucy and John also got to ride horses but not by themselves yet. I was the only person in my family that rode a horse by myself on Sunday. Actually, Lucy tried to ride Penny by herself but wasn't strong enough and she couldn't control her. My cousins, Jessie, Evie, and Betsy were the only other kids that rode besides two other bigger-than-me cousins that rode after we went inside. John and Jessie even rode together on a horse.(I can't remember if it was Hada or Penny.) As I said before it was a lot of fun, even for the little kids!

Easter

Lucy, John and I are very excited about Easter! That’s why we can’t wait till Saturday! On Saturday we are going to fill our Easter baskets with eggs and set them where the Easter bunny can find and fill them for us. I am excited because my mom and I are going to make apple pies for Sunday! On Sunday we are going to our aunt Mary’s and all are the relatives we know from our dad’s side of the family. (Except our grandparents who are in Arizona.) I think there will be an egg hunt for there was one last year. We have bunny ears we will probably wear in the car on the way there. I can’t wait till it is Saturday and we let the Easter bunny do his stuff!

A New Clean Room

I did it! I actually cleaned my room. I can't believe I actually did it! I wanted to write on our blog so I thought if I cleaned my room I would have something to write about, and I did. I can't believe my room went from a real mess to a nice clean room. I am not sure how long it will last though. I am going to try and make it last longer than last time. Which was only about 5 days. It's wonderful having a nice clean room, but then again I still do prefer mess better than clean.

... And the "Messiest Room Award" goes to...

Now you may think my room is the messiest room you have ever seen, but I think it's nice and cozy. Yesserie! Messie rooms are my speciality! My parents don't like it though. They think a clean home is a happy home. For me, it's the other way around. A clean home is hazeredous! You can't find a thing! At least I can't! Well, I guess I will have to clean my messy room sooner or later today. My mom said a cleaning lady is coming and I will have to clean my room for her. I don't want to of course, but I guess I will have to or else my mom will have a fit!
