Well I will fill you in on a couple of the highlights to make it not so long. First, school is officially done for this year. I choose (all by myself!) to do French this Summer (shocking since most kids think they don't need to think about school for 100 days)! : P
Anyhoot, there was a crazy happening a little over a week ago, it was nice out so I had the window next to the very computer I am typing at open. My dad was sitting on our front porch and we had just the glass front door closed (the big door as my family calls it was open). Well anyways, it was all peaceful and calm until...... WAM! A crazy bird flew right into the glass door! It scared me (i was typing an email and nearly jumped out of my seat!) and my dad cuz I heard him saw "what on earth" and I can tell you what on earth... it was a bird with no brains! lol
Another thing about birds is a couple weeks ago we knew of a nest in the gutter right above our doorstep. A few days later, a baby bird was dead on our doorstep. I was soo sad to open our front big door and see the poor little birdy. : (
Well its time for happier news now! Last weekend was the local Independence Festival in my town and of course me and my family went. There was elephant ears, corn dogs, ice cream, kettle corn, you name it and it was there. I wanted to buy everything and just pig out but I didn't buy anything because everything was outrageously priced. It was $5 for an elephant ear (if you think its an actual ear of an elephant... you are crazy. it is a type of pastry and they are deep friend so technically they are really bad for you. I haven't had one in many many years!).
Well in the evening, every year they have fireworks sooo.... I took a video and some pics to share with you all!!!! Yeaaaa!
If you think this is amazing, that's nothing compared to what my Lord, God my Savior can do for you! I will never forget the song "My God is so great"! It was one of my favorites as a young little girl. We sang it in Sunday School almost every week.
Well of course I have done the one thing almost all teen girls enjoy doing.............. shopping!
I will show you what I got below:
This dress was on sale from $36 dollars to $14.99 and I had a coupon so I got it for $12.40! I just really wanted a dress I can wear any day rather than strictly for Sunday best. I really just got into the habit of wearing dresses and skirts more often. I have been wearing babydoll tops for a long while though. I don't like skin suction tight clothing. If I can't wear it with Jesus then I can't wear it at all!
This blue tank top was only $4.99 so I got it in blue (as shown above) and in pink. I have suddenly taken a liking to pink. I realized that blues, pinks/purples, greens and yellows look really good on blonds so those are now my fave colors! They are such summery and happy colors too! I don't like dark blues but light blues are really pretty.Well I really need to get to bed now! Its 11:36! I am sooo tired and I need sleep before I babysit four darling children in the morning. If you have never read my blog before, I will do a quick name/age for ya. Noah/age 6, Marina/age 4, Summer/age 3 and little Selah/7months.
I hope you all have a good nights rest and that you will bless and be blessed!
In God's love,
Butterfly

Oops, I guess I remembered too much then because I wrote so much more about the last week than you did :P I had an amazing week though. If you do read it, I'm just warning you, it's mega long! I love fireworks! Looks like the ones you saw were amazing. Glad school is over. It's always nice to be free for the summer. Good luck with the French :) New languages are always so hard. I do want to learn Latin though. That would be cool... Anyways, Jesus loves you! :)
