My grandma's 70th birthday is on Thursday so me and Laina have been making a slideshow. Since we didn't have enough pictures of her to cover her whole life we asked her for some. Now she has no idea, we just told her we were going to sort them for her. When we came up with this idea we were kind of thinking that it wouldn't be a lot because she doesn't have a camera and hasn't had one for like twenty years. I under estimated just how many pictures she had, there's a huge bin and then a couple smaller boxes. The slideshow is now like six minutes long and we aren't done. It looks really good though and its all set to her favorite Elvis songs. I can't wait to show it to her! Our original plan was going to be give her the sorted pictures back and show her the slideshow on her birthday but time is running short so I think just her slideshow will be done, the picture sorting is still in it's beginning stages. I have been doing a majority of the sorting whcih is hard because I don't know like half the people in these pictures but I did find a really cute one of me and my grandma that I have never seen. We are in a photo booth and I'm almost three (it's dated 9/2001), scroll down to see the picture!
During our past couple classes we have been talking about Winnie the Pooh. This reminded me of my old room. At my old house my mom painted mine and Laina's room like the 100 acre woods and then bought wall stickers of some of the characters. I found some pictures so I thought I would share them. (Top: What my my painted, bottom two: The complete wall with the character stickers)
You are probably thinking "Wait a second, it snowed in Sunday? How did I miss that?" Or you are thinking "That's it, Marisa has officially gone insane". Well it didn't snow and I'm not insane but there were snowballs, at least in my house. The thing is these 'snowballs ' are cookies and they aren't made out of snow we just call them that because we eat them around Christmas and they are shaped like snowballs and covered in powdered sugar. Any way I told my mom for mother's day I was making her deepest for breakfast and whatever age wanted for dessert. She chose snowballs, now I have never actually made them (until Sunday) and I was kind of nervous that they weren't going to be as good as they normally are. What I didn't know before hand is that they are the easiest cookies in the world to make. You literally mix together flour, sugar, vanilla extract, and butter in a bowl and then toss in some pecans. Once they are baked you put some powdered sugar in a ziploc bag with the cookies and shake the bag until all of the cookies are covered in sugar. I have to say they turned out really good, my mom and my grandma were both really happy and my dad bought too many pecans so I have enough to make more!
Luke finally came! He is the cutest baby ever. He has these huge chubby cheeks and a really little mouth. He has the softest hair and he gets scared when he sneezes, its absolutely adorable. He was born on Sunday, cinco de mayo, at 6:30ish in the morning. On Sunday I went to Great America for dance so I didn't get to see him until later that night and then we visited him again after school on Monday. My uncle has been wearing his Darth Vader shirt that says 'Who's your daddy?', but he has yet to say "Luke, I am your father". My cousin, Mark was too young to visit but made a card that said 'Welcome to the world baby Luke ' with what we assume is a picture of my Aunt Debbie holding Luke. The inside is his drawing of the earth which was pretty impressive. The inside also said 'Look on the back for a fact' with an arrow pointing to the back. Its says 1+1=2 with one arrow pointing saying 'this is the fact' and then it just says 'fact' with four arrows pointing to his math problem. I can't find my mom's camera cord right now but I will post pictures as soon as I do. If you really can't wait to see what he looks like try to get into my brain because I can't stop thinking about him. This might sound stupid but every time I think of him I can't help but smile and once I see him I don't ever want to leave. I can't wait to post pictures so all of you can see what I am talking about when I say he is adorable!
