Please read</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Hi everyone! This is Katie here, and I have some big news. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I made a new blog for the dolls. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, I did. I am very tired of this blog, and I couldn't post while school was in session. And I didn't like the way I've managed this blog. And I didn't like how it wasn't exciting. I didn't like much of it at all, to be exact! I have grown so tired of it! It's so boring! So, I have created a new blog where all ten of my dolls will be posting. Here is the link: http://summeradventuresofag.blogspot.com/ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The link will also be on the sidebar! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The new blog will: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be FIFTY times better. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have MORE posts. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have MORE pictures. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be more attractive. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be more organized. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will move all of the links to other blogs that I have on my blog list to the new blog also. It's going to take me a while to get the blog perfectly polished, but probably only 2 days at the most. Here is what I will be doing: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Finding a good background. &lt;br /&gt;-Making a header. &lt;br /&gt;-Fixing the fonts. &lt;br /&gt;-Creating a blog list. &lt;br /&gt;-Deciding whether or not the blog will be for all of the dolls or just one... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would really appreciate it if y'all spread the word that I have created a new blog for the dolls. I promise I will post more on there. The new blog will be awesome! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Katie &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S. I am still going to buy a surprise doll! ;) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;UPDATE: I have just realized that I will have the surprise doll be the author of the blog, but for now the blog will be The Summer Adventures of 10 American Girls.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5859318791666411857-4854919575010169841?l=samanthassisters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/feeds/4854919575010169841/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2010/06/new-blog-please-read.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/4854919575010169841'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/4854919575010169841'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2010/06/new-blog-please-read.html' title='NEW BLOG!

Maybe I'll post once in a while, but not as much as I used to. Why? Well, there are a number of reasons: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) I am bored with this blog, it's not what I wanted it to be. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) I don't have very much time, what with school and family and friends. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) I have pretty much outgrown American Girl dolls. The only doll I will continue buying things for is Rebecca, and possibly Molly. I might buy Emily, but she will be my last doll if I do happen to buy her. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BUT, I will still be on YouTube, and still keep the blog's email running, and I have another blog, a book blog called &lt;a href="http://rainydaysandbooks.blogspot.com/"&gt;Rainy Day Reviews&lt;/a&gt;. I talk about books I am reading, books I am wanting to read, stories I'm writing, and a lot of other literature-related topics. I usually post about once every two weeks, but I'm going to hopefully start posting once a week, on weekends. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, yeah, I might buy Emily, but she'll be my final doll unless I miraculously get back into American Girl again. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Katie&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5859318791666411857-4441630029926887356?l=samanthassisters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/feeds/4441630029926887356/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2010/04/news-from-katie.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/4441630029926887356'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/4441630029926887356'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2010/04/news-from-katie.html' title='News from Katie'/><author><name>Lucy Kenelly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16224715711717532023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SzIxVJyTWvI/AAAAAAAAAkU/qc7wDVrhSYA/S220/FILE0006.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859318791666411857.post-4987420246301500463</id><published>2010-03-02T05:50:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-03-02T05:52:17.397-08:00</updated><title type='text'>News</title><content type='html'>We will be taking a break from this blog until (at the most) June.

Please forgive me! I am doing lots of schoolwork these days, and Pioneer is doing tons of schoolwork too.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pioneer doesn't get home from school on weekdays till almost 5 PM, because her school doesn't get out till 4 PM, and then doesn't usually get on the bus till about 4:20, and then the drive to her house is 15 minutes long, then she has to finish her homework and catch up on her writing. She just mumbled about how she wishes that school still started at 8 AM, not 9 AM, which is the time her school starts, so that she would get home an hour earlier because if your school starts at 8 then you usually would get home at 3 PM. She would much rather get up an hour earlier than get home an hour later. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pioneer is also mad because the school cheerleaders are selling carnations for students to buy for other students for Valentine's Day. How pointless. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sorry this post sounded "angry", we're just stressed over school. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, the point of all this is to say that we don't have time to post. I might be able to post once on the weekends, but don't expect a post very often. :'( I'm so sorry I can't post, I am so mad, I just don't have time. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lucy &lt;3&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5859318791666411857-8943043776262365302?l=samanthassisters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/feeds/8943043776262365302/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2010/02/oh-my.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/8943043776262365302'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/8943043776262365302'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2010/02/oh-my.html' title='Oh My'/><author><name>Lucy Kenelly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16224715711717532023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SzIxVJyTWvI/AAAAAAAAAkU/qc7wDVrhSYA/S220/FILE0006.JPG'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859318791666411857.post-1332717209150118674</id><published>2010-01-21T18:31:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-21T18:42:09.328-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Santa'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='party'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='choir'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='movies'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Katie'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Kimdale'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Christmas'/><title type='text'>Choir Christmas Party</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/S1kOC8vPe5I/AAAAAAAAAqo/YchaA_jqVmo/s1600-h/FILE0173.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/S1kOC8vPe5I/AAAAAAAAAqo/YchaA_jqVmo/s320/FILE0173.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5429386269598645138" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;   Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I've still been trying to get into the swing of the second semester at school. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, on Christmas Eve Kimdale's Christmas Choir sang at the Christmas gala. That picture is of me in my choir costume, the wool skirt was super itchy! We sang, "Hark! the Herald Angels Sing", "Sleigh Ride", "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer", "Forsty the Snowman", "Walking in a Winter Wonderland", and "I have a little Dreidel". It was really fun! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After we finished singing, we all ran back to our dorms, got our pajamas on and grabbed our pillows and blankets, and then ran back to the choir room, where we had our own little party. Our choir teacher put in the movies 'Elf', 'Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer', and 'It's A Wonderful Life' (I requested it since it's my absolute most very favorite Christmas movie). She gave us cookies, milk, and other treats to eat too while we watched to movies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We stayed in the choir room till midnight, and then we all went back to our dorms. I had a sleepover with Mia, and we set out the cookies for Santa with Pioneer. :) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was probably the best party I'll ever go to! I had so much fun! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I've got to go now, but I promise to start posting more often. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lucy &lt;3 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S.

I still can't post pictures. I promise you though that they will be up TOMORROW! For my New Year's resolution, I have decided to stop procrastinating. I asked Pioneer if that was a good idea, and she said it was brilliant, but when I asked her if she would do it with me, she laughed and said it wasn't possible for her, and that she decided to control her temper better. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, then. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, Pioneer is still saving up for Lanie, except she has confirmed that she will rename her Lah-nie instead of Law-nie or Lay-nie. So, yeah. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On another note, Pioneer's birthday party is next weekend. She is inviting 2 of her very close friends, 1 friend that used to be very close, and 1 utterly boring friend that she was kinda forced to invite because one of the the other friends she is inviting has a big mouth, so if the boring friend ever found out that she was not invited, everything would become chaotic. But Pioneer is sad because er best, best, BEST friend in the whole world that she has known for the longest time moved away to Canada in June, so Pioneer can't invite her, which depresses her. Anyway, 1 of her very close friends, however, LOVES American Girl just as much as Pioneer and got 1 for Christmas, but unfortunately that friend doesn't know what doll it is. Pioneer told me she will try to find out, though, since I am nagging her so much because I really would like to meet the doll. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, since I am blabbing about different things, I shall now change to a different random topic. I don't really have any friends here at Kimdale yet. :( I haven't really met anyone who "clicks" with me, ya know? Pioneer says that she feels the same way at her new school, but I think it's sort of different for dolls. I mean, the girls here are super nice, but I don't have any friends. No one. Pioneer said that maybe some new girls will arrive and that they could be my best friend. O_o &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, there is a random post. Sorry I'm kind of neglecting this blog a little, I don't have much time to post on weekdays. :P &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lucy &lt;3&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5859318791666411857-3861118254748802517?l=samanthassisters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/feeds/3861118254748802517/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2010/01/of-parties-dolls-resolutions-and.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/3861118254748802517'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/3861118254748802517'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2010/01/of-parties-dolls-resolutions-and.html' title='Of parties, dolls, resolutions, and updates'/><author><name>Lucy Kenelly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16224715711717532023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SzIxVJyTWvI/AAAAAAAAAkU/qc7wDVrhSYA/S220/FILE0006.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859318791666411857.post-5425943931942910238</id><published>2010-01-01T11:45:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-01T19:01:33.012-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Picnik'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2010'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Katie'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='New Year&apos;s Day'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Lanie Holland'/><title type='text'>First post in 2010</title><content type='html'>Lucy here! No pictures yet, busy week. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can't believe we have started a new decade! Wowzers. 2010. 2010. 2010. 2010. It feels so weird saying it because I say twenty-ten. O_o &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, nothing much is going on here. Pioneer is trying to figure out how to use Picnik right now, and so far it's not working out that well. But she has to figure it out sooner or later, and then I will be able to post awesome photos on here. :D &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pioneer is saving up for Lanie's starter collection and nightgown set. She says Lanie is just adorable. I think she looks nice, so I hope when she arrives we can be friends. Hopefully she'll arrive soon because Pioneer doesn't have *that* much more to save up (well, actually about 1-3 months worth.), so yeah. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sorry for the short post, I have to go help Pioneer with Picnik.

Tomorrow will be a whole new year! It seems like yesterday I was struggling to keep my eyes open as I waited for AG to update their site, lol. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I shall now talk about Lanie. I love her. She is adorable. I am going to save up my money this year so that I can buy her. I just love her! If I do buy her, I am going to change her name a bit. Instead of pronouncing it Lay-nie, I am going to pronounce it Lah-nie. I just don't think Lay-nie suits her well. She looks more of a Lah-nie to me. :P &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I especially love the outfit she is wearing on the cover of her second book, &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Lanie's Real Adventures&lt;/span&gt;. I just can't get over how darn cute she is! She kind of reminds me of one of my brother's best friends, M., who is a girl. M. looks a lot like Lanie, except for the eye color and the curls. O_O &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, for my New Year's Eve plans: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Relax &lt;br /&gt;-Read &lt;br /&gt;-Write &lt;br /&gt;-Have family come over for dinner. &lt;br /&gt;-Watch fireworks &lt;br /&gt;-Stay up late &lt;br /&gt;-Check AG site &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah, not very exciting, but oh well.

I am so excited! That's a picture of me in my Santa hat and holding up my stocking. What are you asking for from Santa Claus?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you heard about the new GOTY 2010? Her name is Lanie Holland. In her books she sounds sweet. Pioneer loves her so far, and she says that she is asking for her for Christmas (by ordering her as a late Christmas present). If you want to find out more about Lanie, click &lt;a href="http://dolldiaries.com/"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;. Doll Diaries is THE place to go to find out information about your favorite doll brand! Pioneer discovered it last December, and loves it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What are your plans for tomorrow and Christmas day? Tomorrow is the holiday gala where I will be singing. Anabella Howard (the girl I mentioned in the last post) is in the choir, I just noticed at practice yesterday. I didn't realize that she was the one who was such a teacher's pet and always got called on to sing a solo because of her beautiful voice. Ms. Crandall, our choir teacher, says I need to practice a little, so I don't get to sing solos. :( But Anabella gets to sing a solo tomorrow. I don't really know her yet, though, but I guess I will tomorrow at the after-party for choir members!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking of the after-party, Ms. Crandall announced it yesterday! She said that we will be having our after-party at 9:30, when the holiday gala ends. We are having it in the choir room. Ms. Crandall is going to recite, "The Night Before Christmas" to us and act it out, then we will watch Christmas movies and eat sweets! It lasts till midnight, then we all have to run back to our dorms and wait for Santa Claus to come! I'm very excited!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have to go practice now. yes, even though it's Christmas break, the choir students must practice this week. :P Bye and have a good day!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lucy &lt;3&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5859318791666411857-5389241499077433303?l=samanthassisters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/feeds/5389241499077433303/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/12/2-days.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/5389241499077433303'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/5389241499077433303'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/12/2-days.html' title='2 days!'/><author><name>Lucy Kenelly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16224715711717532023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SzIxVJyTWvI/AAAAAAAAAkU/qc7wDVrhSYA/S220/FILE0006.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SzJRqy5tINI/AAAAAAAAAk0/itBi8kM8zg8/s72-c/FILE0016.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859318791666411857.post-6973926123231011873</id><published>2009-12-22T14:46:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-22T15:27:57.885-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Chrissa'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mia St. Clare'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='choir'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Katie'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Kimdale'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Anabella'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Christmas'/><title type='text'>It's Christmastide again!</title><content type='html'>I can't wait for Christmas Eve! I like it better than Christmas day for some reason. Probably because Christmas day goes by WAY too fast!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The holiday gala is on Thursday night. I'm very excited. Nellie, one of Pioneer's dolls, said that there's this girl named Anabella who will be there. She is supposed to be really popular and stuff, but I don't know her yet. Nellie says she's not very nice. O_o&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pioneer is sad because Chrissa is sold out, and she wanted her for Christmas, but oh well, there is always *drum roll* eBay! Haha!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've gotten to know one of Pioneer's dolls quite well, Mia. She's very nice. She told me she would teach me how to ice skate at the practice rink here at Kimdale, which is awesome because I am awful at ice skating, I usually end up on ym backside and bruised when at the rink. :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I'll post more tomorrow!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lucy&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5859318791666411857-6973926123231011873?l=samanthassisters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/feeds/6973926123231011873/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/12/its-christmastide-again.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/6973926123231011873'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/6973926123231011873'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/12/its-christmastide-again.html' title='It&apos;s Christmastide again!'/><author><name>Lucy Kenelly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16224715711717532023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SzIxVJyTWvI/AAAAAAAAAkU/qc7wDVrhSYA/S220/FILE0006.JPG'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859318791666411857.post-9010312887412734897</id><published>2009-12-20T14:27:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-20T14:51:14.255-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Liberty Jane'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wishlist'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Lucy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Christmas'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Melody Valerie'/><title type='text'>Getting the Christmas tree!</title><content type='html'>Hello all!

It was 2 weeks ago I believe, but oh well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am so excited for Christmas! It is my absolute most very favorite day ever! I love it even more than my birthday! Kimdale is having a holiday gala, but I won't be mingling because I'm in the school Christmas choir! I'll be singing songs there. We will be singing, "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing", "O Christmas Tree", "Jingle Bell Rock", "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree", and then "O Night Divine." We will also sing, "I have a little Dreidel" for the Jewish dolls at Kimdale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now, I present unto you the glory of my Christmas wishlist:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://store.americangirl.com/agshop/html/MultiProductPage.jsf/itemId/1241/itemType/DISPLAYGROUP/webTemplateId/4/uniqueId/88/saleGroupId/137"&gt;Winter Pajamas for Dolls&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://store.americangirl.com/agshop/html/ProductPage.jsf/itemId/156596/itemType/TOY/webTemplateId/3/uniqueId/92/saleGroupId/139"&gt;Holiday Shoe Set for Dolls&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://store.americangirl.com/agshop/html/ProductPage.jsf/itemId/141017/itemType/TOY/webTemplateId/3/uniqueId/92/saleGroupId/139"&gt;Flute Set &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://store.americangirl.com/agshop/EndecaForwardServlet?dest=%2Fagshop%2Fhtml%2FProductPage.jsf%2FitemId%2F141795&amp;amp;event=topRecordsReport&amp;amp;sku=F9047"&gt;A pet!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=35926853"&gt;This gorgeous dress&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.libertyjaneclothing.com"&gt;Best Dressed Black Dress&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, that is my wishlist.

As you all know, my name is Mary-Lucia "Lucy" Kenelly, and I am the new author of this blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, for starters I'm a JLY #34, and my favorite color is purple. I'm 11. My favorite thing to do besides write is read fantasy (princesses, dragons, fairies, witches, etc.) and historical fiction (preferably about the 1800s and the Holocaust) novels. I am a student at Kimdale Academy for Young Ladies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, that's me. :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I started Kimdale last Monday. I really like it here! My dorm is on the other side of the building, away from Pioneer's other dolls' dorms. It's really cool!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sorry for such a short first post, but I have to get off now. I'll write more later!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bye!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lucy &lt;3&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5859318791666411857-3061537884131937718?l=samanthassisters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/feeds/3061537884131937718/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/12/my-first-post.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/3061537884131937718'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/3061537884131937718'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/12/my-first-post.html' title='My first post'/><author><name>Lucy Kenelly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16224715711717532023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SzIxVJyTWvI/AAAAAAAAAkU/qc7wDVrhSYA/S220/FILE0006.JPG'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859318791666411857.post-8291236973390140393</id><published>2009-12-11T09:25:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-11T15:39:31.770-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Lucy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hanukkah'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Farewell'/><title type='text'>A Very Important Anouncement Containing the Fate of this Blog</title><content type='html'>Dear Readers,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With lots of thinking, us dolls (that being Kirsten, Nellie, Nicki, Ruthie, Mia, Samantha, Molly, and Rebecca) have decided something. It has been thought about for a while now, and we have decided that it should happen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8 of us (Kirsten, Nellie, Nicki, Ruthie, Mia, Samantha, Molly, Rebecca) have decided that we will not be posting on this blog anymore. We are handing the blog over to Lucy. We have talked it over with her, and she said she would be honored to have this blog. So, this is our last post. Lucy will be taking this blog over. It will now be Lucy's Extraordinary Blog! We know, not very catchy, but we don't feel like blogging anymore. The time has come for us to leave.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;We have also decided to go our own ways, meaning we are not sisters anymore, but we are classmates and students at Kimdale.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have had a wonderful experience, however. We love all of our followers and regular commenters! You all have contributed to this blog so much! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We are terribly sorry if this disappoints any of you, but we... well, it's hard to explain. Just know that this blog will still be up by Lucy, the newest girl at Kimdale. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;However, maybe we shall post from time to time! This sin't for sure, though, but expect a post from us once in a blue moon. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Farewell, our dear readers! Thank you for understanding our choices! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy Hanukkah! Lucy says she'll post about what we did for Hanukkah!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Love, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Kirsten, Nellie, Nicki, Ruthie, Mia, Samantha, Molly, and Rebecca&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;P.S.

Haha, that's my (Ruthie) favorite Christmas song.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We don't have snow here in Texas &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;yet, &lt;/span&gt;but TOMORROW it is supposed to snow! Pioneer is very excited, even though the school won't be closing down 'unless a major news source announces our district will be closed due to inclement weather', which is lame. :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, guess what? Tomorrow is Pioneer's birthday! Yup, she turns ** tomorrow! Whoo-hoo! She is even more excited due to the snow prediction and that it's on a Friday! Yay!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Us dolls decided to do some 'snooping' on Pioneer's birthday presents. Well, we climbed out Pioneer's bedroom window and went to her mom's car. We peeked through the windows and through the trunk window and guess what we saw?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;An American Girl doll-sized box! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isn't that uber exciting? I wonder what doll it is?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I guess we'll found out tomorrow after Pioneer gets home from school!

It's Sam! Sorry the pictures are super late, we've been really busy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wow, I haven't posted on here for such a long time! Weird, and it was meant to be mainly my blog!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, Pioneer got Kirsten's baking outfit and Kirsten's nightgown. :D Pioneer totally recommends them! Sorry some of the pics look freaky. Pioneer was playing around with them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, anywho, Pioneer got into her (enter grade) school spelling bee and the main part in her school's (enter grade) play! She's very happy! And plus, it's only 9 days until her birthday! I wonder if a new doll will come? And if so, which one?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other dolls are making me give you some updates on our lives. So here:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) We've decided not to go by 'sisters' anymore, but more like good friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Like in the post before, we are planning to make some very drastic changes to this blog in December. DRASTIC.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Blogger is being a meanie and won't tell us on our faves list when theirs a new post on one of our fave blogs (sorry if that sounded confusing, I'm not a good person to ask to explain something. See?)!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) All of the other dolls say hi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) We have this whole week off for school! Nyah-nyah-nyah-nyah! Heehee, just kidding! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sorry for the short post, but we will make it up to you, especially with the holidays quickly approaching!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sam&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5859318791666411857-6409442332258252659?l=samanthassisters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/feeds/6409442332258252659/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/11/what-pioneer-ordered-from-ag.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/6409442332258252659'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/6409442332258252659'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/11/what-pioneer-ordered-from-ag.html' title='What Pioneer ordered from AG'/><author><name>Lucy Kenelly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16224715711717532023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SzIxVJyTWvI/AAAAAAAAAkU/qc7wDVrhSYA/S220/FILE0006.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SwvnfPee-dI/AAAAAAAAAac/KlFVw8y5RlU/s72-c/FILE0043.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859318791666411857.post-612188973886381037</id><published>2009-11-15T15:31:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-15T17:42:04.158-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='updates'/><title type='text'>Aaaagh!

Okay, I am so sorry, but this is Katie Kenelly again. :P I am so very sorry I have been taking this blog over lately!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I finally got around to taking a picture of Ruthie, Nellie, and Kirsten dressed up for Halloween! I only had costumes for 3 of my dolls, and the costumes coordinated with them, so yeah. Hope y'all like it! Here's what the girls are dressed up as, starting with Ruthie and going right:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ruthie as a Pink Princess&lt;br /&gt;Nellie as an Irish Step Dancer&lt;br /&gt;Kirsten as Saint Lucia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, I realized last Friday, when I was looking on AG's website, that I had saved up enough money for something/some things! But, I want to keep it a surprise! I'm guessing it will be coming either tomorrow or Thursday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not going to update my Ticker because I'm kind of confused about how much $ I have saved up, but I'll update it as soon as I've got it all figured out, by the way. :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Katie Kenelly&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S.

Here are some pics:&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SuIvsgZ93gI/AAAAAAAAAWs/Vg9hnHeM10E/s1600-h/FILE0452.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SuIvsgZ93gI/AAAAAAAAAWs/Vg9hnHeM10E/s200/FILE0452.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395927745202871810" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SuIwKDCzvLI/AAAAAAAAAXE/jh2FWl6BE9s/s1600-h/FILE0466.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SuIwKDCzvLI/AAAAAAAAAXE/jh2FWl6BE9s/s200/FILE0466.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395928252717186226" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SuIv_rXKSDI/AAAAAAAAAW8/iseL8fhxwZQ/s1600-h/FILE0457.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SuIv_rXKSDI/AAAAAAAAAW8/iseL8fhxwZQ/s200/FILE0457.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395928074561407026" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SuIv2z7SD5I/AAAAAAAAAW0/98o3KFdbQLI/s1600-h/FILE0450.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SuIv2z7SD5I/AAAAAAAAAW0/98o3KFdbQLI/s200/FILE0450.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395927922241572754" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isn't she gorgeous? I swear I'm not trying to brag! I just wanted to clear that up now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She came without her book, but with her doll stand and her shoes and socks! She's very pretty! I will make a Picasa album of the dolls meeting her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another update-- I entered my first giveaway on American Girl's Fan in England, where Sierra was giving away &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Candlelight for Rebecca &lt;/span&gt;and I won! Yay! Thanks Sierra! So I will send her my address tonight! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also finally met a girl in one of my classes today that loves AG as much as I do! We have a lot in common! I also found 2 books at my school library that I want to read (okay, as some of you probably know, I love reading and my school library has NOTHING good for me to read, but I found 2 good ones)! Okay, that's not doll related but oh well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, 1 more update-- I will take a picture of Ruthie, Kirsten, and Nellie all dressed up for Halloween! I only have enough costumes for 3 of my dolls, so that's why I'm only taking pictures of them. :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Katie&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S.

On my first day of school post, I said that something cam back to haunt me, and that I couldn't tell y'all right then. Well, my 'sisters' aren't here right now, so here's the story, which takes place on the first day of school:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I was walking with Samantha down the hallway. Her fourth period class is different then mine, but in the same hallway, so yeah. We waved good-bye and I walked into my classroom. I walked up to my teacher and asked her where I sit. She pointed to seat 5. I turned around and scanned the classroom, taking in all the colors and such. My teacher had decorated the room with bright summer colors, like turquoise, lime green, hot pink, lemon yellow, etc. There were also guinea pigs in the back of the room where 5 girls were playing with him. I smiled and began to look at the girls in their seats. I said hi to some of the girls I knew, and then began to make my way to seat 5. Just as I placed my books on my desk, I saw a flash of blond hair whip around in the corner of my eye. I turned and you'll never guess who I saw:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;ANNABELLA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;That&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;'s right! The girl who I became best friends with when I first arrived at Kimdale! I was shocked. She got suspended for hacking into the headmistress's computer, but we never knew when, or if, she would come back. But there she was! How was I so sure? Coco Chanel (remember her, C.C. for short?) came up to her and said, "Annabella, I'm so glad you're back!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Annabella smiled. She was wearing the Jumper and Boots set  from AG, and she had her hair pulled back in a ponytail with a big pink bow. She also had dangly &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;earrings and doll braces. I tried not to stare, but suddenly she turned and our eyes locked. Her cold, piercing blue eyes turned to slits when she saw me. I felt frozen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Slowly, her lips curved into a smile. Her eyes slowly un-slitted (is that even a word???? Lol!) and she turned back to whisper something to C.C. I realized I hadn't been breathing. I quickly gathered myself together and tried my best to forget about her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Oh no! I'm so worried! She hasn't said anything to me yet, and it's already been 7 weeks, but what if she comes to my dorm and tries to talk to me??????&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;love,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nellie&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5859318791666411857-4584502647308705985?l=samanthassisters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/feeds/4584502647308705985/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/10/nellie.html#comment-form' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/4584502647308705985'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/4584502647308705985'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/10/nellie.html' title='Nellie'/><author><name>Lucy Kenelly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16224715711717532023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SzIxVJyTWvI/AAAAAAAAAkU/qc7wDVrhSYA/S220/FILE0006.JPG'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859318791666411857.post-8828005010058349509</id><published>2009-10-02T15:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-02T15:27:41.458-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='falling'/><title type='text'>I got tagged!</title><content type='html'>*post by Katie Kenelly* &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I got tagged by &lt;a href="http://rosesareread12.blogspot.com"&gt;Rose&lt;/a&gt;!!! Thanks Rose! Okay, so I have to tell a funny story! Here it is: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Today (yes, how ironic!) I was playing volleyball, which is my favorite sport, and the team we were playing against was winning. Well, someone on the other team bumped the ball so hard it went flying to the ceiling and came straight down on our side. I was standing under where the ball was supposed to land, so, naturally, I got ready to bump it. When it was time for me to bump it, I realized I had to &lt;i&gt;set &lt;/i&gt;it because I was too close to the net and if I bumped the ball it would go flying backwards. I realized this when I jumped into the air to bump it. So, I bent my arms and got ready to set it while I was in midair, and set it with great force. But I closed my eyes. I can close my eyes, but in this case I couldn't for too long. But I did close my eyes for too long. So, I set the ball and since I couldn't see I hit it out-of-bounds and it somehow threw me off balance. my legs went straight up in front of me, my back straight up, and my middle straight down, making my body look like a 40 degree angle! I fell smack down on the court! It didn't hurt, just my backside, but I laughed so hard! My friends and I were laughing our heads off! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So, that's my funny story! I tag anyone who wants to be tagged! Bye! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Love, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Katie Kenelly&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5859318791666411857-8828005010058349509?l=samanthassisters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/feeds/8828005010058349509/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/10/i-got-tagged.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/8828005010058349509'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/8828005010058349509'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/10/i-got-tagged.html' title='I got tagged!'/><author><name>Lucy Kenelly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16224715711717532023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SzIxVJyTWvI/AAAAAAAAAkU/qc7wDVrhSYA/S220/FILE0006.JPG'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859318791666411857.post-6376834264906243931</id><published>2009-10-01T15:04:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-01T15:19:12.335-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Maintenance</title><content type='html'>Maintenance will be going on at this blog for 30 minutes at the most.

Kirsten has always been my absolute favorite doll (don't tell the other dolls). She's a pioneer, she's from Sweden like me, and her stories are American Girl *classics* (lol I'm a dork :P). I read all of her books way-back-when and totally fell in love with her. So, with all the money I earned I finally got her and she was my only doll for a long time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fast forward to 2009.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;American Girl is archiving Kirsten!!!! I am so sad I can't even tell y'all! I hope it's not the last year with her because I need to get all of her outfits that are still left! I hope they come out with a new 1800s doll because they are taking away a PIONEER doll! Addy is a wonderful doll that I want, but her stories are about the Civil War. Josefina is another beautiful doll, but her stories aren't about growing up as a pioneer. Why, oh why must you do this to me American Girl????? First you retire Samantha and Nellie (the only Irish doll!) now Kirsten! If your retire Molly and Emily or Felicity and Elizabeth before I get to get any of them (besides Molly), then I am going to go crazy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am so sad about this. :'( I'm too sad to say anymore about Kirsten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Katie Kenelly&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5859318791666411857-167063803623281109?l=samanthassisters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/feeds/167063803623281109/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/09/my-beautiful-kirsten.html#comment-form' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/167063803623281109'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/167063803623281109'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/09/my-beautiful-kirsten.html' title='My beautiful Kirsten...'/><author><name>Lucy Kenelly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16224715711717532023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SzIxVJyTWvI/AAAAAAAAAkU/qc7wDVrhSYA/S220/FILE0006.JPG'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859318791666411857.post-7350118115234200358</id><published>2009-09-15T15:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-25T14:51:37.657-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='School so far'/><title type='text'>What Kimdale is like for us so far</title><content type='html'>*note: this post was originally supposed to be posted on the 15th, but things came up and we finally posted it today, so this is all taking place last week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, we will each post a few sentences about school so far: &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Kirsten: My first day of school was great! My homeroom teacher is really nice, and it's history so I'm very good at it! At lunch (lunch is at 12:30, so that means we've already done 3 period) I sat with my "sisters" and then back in class, we took a small pop quiz. I got every answer right. It was great! Math is second period, and I hate Math, so not much to say 'bout that. Science next, which is fun but not my favorite, then English which is also fun, then Gym and Theatre Arts, my elective. I then go back to my homeroom where we work on all our homework for the remainder of the day. Overall, school's good so far! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Nellie: The first day of school was AWFUL! I can't tell you why now, so I will in a different post. Something came back to haunt me..... &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Nicki: School's good. All of my teachers are nice. I love all the subjects. Pet Training Club is great. Sorry, I'm just very tired right now so I'm not really giving you any details. My schedule is practically the same as Kirsten's, except I have Science first. *yawns, coughs* Ugh, I'm sick, so I'm going to go lie down. xP Sorry! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ruthie: I LOVE school! My new best friend, Kit, who is also my roommate, and I are in the same classes! But I sit with my "sisters" at lunch, so yeah. But, anyway, Kit and I do homework together and all sorts of stuff! She really is a great friend! Her and I are watching the Kit Kitteridge movie right now, so I'll talk to y'all later. Bye! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Mia: I'm in the figure skating class!!!!! Well, for fourth period, but I'm still in it! I love it! It's so fun! I just feel like I'm flying as I glide on the silvery ice! Yes, sorry that's poetic, but it's true! I'm the best in my class.... well, that's what Coach Frank says. But it's so fun! We didn't do any of the "instruction" junk, which I hate, we just immediately started skating! I'm so excited! The first performance will be in December, but we're already practicing! It's going to be a Christmas performance-type-deal, so I'm looking forward to it. The other classes are fine, same ol' same ol'. Bye! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sam: School's perfect. Miss Frouchy is nice, unlike the Miss Frouchy we all know! Nellie isn't really talking to us though. She seems a little upset about something. She just sits on her window seat in her dorm staring out the window with a sad look on her face. I've tried talking to her but she just sighs and says, "I don't want to talk right now." I'm worried sick! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Molly: Miss Lamb is GREAT! I LOVE HER CLASS! IT'S IRISH LITERATURE! Sorry for all caps, but Irish literature is soo fun! We just study Irish legends and stories and write our own! Right now we're studying W.B. Yeats, who is one of Pioneer's favorite poets of all time. We have to memorize a poem written by him and then recite it aloud to the class in a week, and so far I've got it almost all memorized! ;) I'll let Beckie write now. Love ya! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Beckie: *sigh* Well, school's good. Yesterday was the first day of Rosh Hashana, so I'm really excited since the new year is starting! My "sisters" celebrated  it with me. I am glad to start a new year. I feel fresh and new, but I'm still VERY worried about the new dolls, especially since I have no idea whatsoever about the 2 new ones coming next! Agh, Pioneer makes me so frustrated! Well, I gotta go now. Sorry this post wasn't about the first day of school. Shalom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Soooo..... that was all of our first day of school.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5859318791666411857-7350118115234200358?l=samanthassisters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/feeds/7350118115234200358/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/09/what-kimdale-is-like-for-us-so-far.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/7350118115234200358'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/7350118115234200358'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/09/what-kimdale-is-like-for-us-so-far.html' title='What Kimdale is like for us so far'/><author><name>Lucy Kenelly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16224715711717532023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SzIxVJyTWvI/AAAAAAAAAkU/qc7wDVrhSYA/S220/FILE0006.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859318791666411857.post-1090046064763505450</id><published>2009-09-14T14:56:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-14T15:06:14.820-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='things'/><title type='text'>Quick, quick...</title><content type='html'>It's Katie Kenelly.

Well, I've decided that I'm not getting Murron and Iseult next. Maybe later, but now I've decided to get 2 different dolls. Yup. And two different outfits. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now, you're probably thinking two things: 1) OMG is she serious??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? She CHANGED HER MIND after she said ALL SUMMER tahat she was going to get those dolls????????? She's insane! And 2) Well, what dolls and outfits then? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Well, here are your answers: 1) I'm getting 2 dolls I've wanted for a longer period of time and 2) They're surprises! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Yep, they're surprises. I might give you hints when I order them, like each day until they arrive I might say what the dolls' hair colors are, what kind of AG they are, etc. But for now, you will have to just wonder. :) &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Love, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Katie Kenelly &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5859318791666411857-1090046064763505450?l=samanthassisters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/feeds/1090046064763505450/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/09/quick-quick.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/1090046064763505450'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/1090046064763505450'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/09/quick-quick.html' title='Quick, quick...'/><author><name>Lucy Kenelly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16224715711717532023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SzIxVJyTWvI/AAAAAAAAAkU/qc7wDVrhSYA/S220/FILE0006.JPG'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859318791666411857.post-1158310255692865054</id><published>2009-09-13T11:03:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-13T11:08:05.697-07:00</updated><title type='text'>AG on QVC; LIVE from NY!</title><content type='html'>American Girl is going to be on QVC again!

The new AG items are making me crazy! But, I've already decided to get Murron and Iseult, and I can't back out of it now. Plus, I've already decided to save up for Felicity after Murron and Iseult. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Anyway, hopefully the new Picasa albums will be up this weekend, and hopefully the girls' school photos, which were taken today. :) &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Love, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Katie Kenelly&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5859318791666411857-7563499491003416168?l=samanthassisters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/feeds/7563499491003416168/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/09/melody-valerie.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/7563499491003416168'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/7563499491003416168'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/09/melody-valerie.html' title='Melody Valerie'/><author><name>Lucy Kenelly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16224715711717532023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SzIxVJyTWvI/AAAAAAAAAkU/qc7wDVrhSYA/S220/FILE0006.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SqGXnNjewYI/AAAAAAAAATs/oP3yGshVerM/s72-c/il_430xN.88689174.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859318791666411857.post-1006732199820719437</id><published>2009-09-03T15:00:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-03T15:25:25.371-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='new AG items'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='New JLYs'/><title type='text'>The new AG stuff!</title><content type='html'>Omg omg omg omg!!!

Guess what? On Saturday night, Pioneer and her family were shopping at Ikea and they found a doll sized bed there!!!!! So, Pioneer's mom agreed to buy it if Pioneer worked it off, which she did Sunday after church, and so now we have a bed! Yay! We let Kirsten and Nellie have it, partly because Kirsten is Swedish and her and Nellie were the first dolls. Click &lt;a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/samanthaandsisters/DuktigIkeaDollSizedBed?locked=true#"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt; to see the Picasa album of it! &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;You have to be logged in though to Picasa to view it. &lt;/span&gt;I put that in bold because I don't want anyone to miss it. :) If you don't have a Picasa, we will post the pictures on here. :0) Yes, we know, the light is weird on some pictures, and a little blurry, but you can still see the pics!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other Picasa albums will hopefully be up this weekend, and all of our special Back to School posts will also be up hopefully this weekend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gotta go, bed time. :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Molly&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5859318791666411857-7797700508791488564?l=samanthassisters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/feeds/7797700508791488564/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/08/ikea-bed.html#comment-form' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/7797700508791488564'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/7797700508791488564'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/08/ikea-bed.html' title='Ikea bed!'/><author><name>Lucy Kenelly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16224715711717532023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SzIxVJyTWvI/AAAAAAAAAkU/qc7wDVrhSYA/S220/FILE0006.JPG'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859318791666411857.post-6769150405537656820</id><published>2009-08-27T15:44:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-27T15:53:41.168-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Stuff'/><title type='text'>Sorry!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;We're so sorry for not posting for a couple of days!

But Pioneer is saving up for Murron and Iseult, so we probably won't &lt;/div&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 174px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SpcOHm_ZIbI/AAAAAAAAASE/MCkayvgm7aU/s200/01b.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374780204178284978" /&gt;&lt;div&gt;get it. :'( &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Love, Molly &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;P.S.

It's Molly! Guess what? Last night, Pioneer finally joined 2 message boards!!!! She joined the Our Dolls message board and the American Girl Fan message board! She might join AGPT, but she has to talk to her mom about it first. She also wants to join American Girl Fans Message Board, but they're taking a hiatus from letting people register. :(. Does anyone belong to that message board????? If so, will you please comment and tell us what it's like?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, if you ever want to search for her, her username is pioneerfan04 on everything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I've been taking over this blog lately. Do you think I should rename this blog to "Molly and her sisters' Extraordinary Blog!" or not? I don't know if Sam would really like that, so I don't know. Comment and tell us what you think about changing the name (We might not, even if everyone says we should, we're just seeing what y'all think) please!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, and since summer's almost over, Pioneer was thinking of doing a Summer Photo Shoot! There's this nice little park by Pioneer's house, so she might take a picture of some of us modeling by the trees! Doesn't that sound fun?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, Pioneer doesn't really like Felicity's purple meet dress. She likes Felicity's old meet dress.

Maybe, when Pioneer gets her, she could get Felicity's rose outfit off of &lt;a href="http://www.ebay.com/"&gt;eBay&lt;/a&gt;? That would be a good idea. I just don't think the purple outfit suits Felicity!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*sighs* School starts Monday. And there's a rumor going around the school that they may change Kimdale's name to Night Valley!!! &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Either Night Valley or Star Valley. That means our school would be changed to "Night Valley School for Young Ladies" or "Star Valley School for Young Ladies"! I think that Night/Star Valley sounds more attractive, but I don't think that the mayor should just randomly change the city's name!!!! Maybe they should change it to "Kimdale Valley" or something. They have to keep Kimdale in the city. They have to!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I guess it's not that big of a deal, after all, Kimdale was just founded in 2000, so it wouldn't like changing America's name to Fish or something.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bleh. I have to go now... time to go sign up for art clubs and stuff!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Molly&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5859318791666411857-7750204990802797862?l=samanthassisters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/feeds/7750204990802797862/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/08/message-boards-and-other-things.html#comment-form' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/7750204990802797862'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/7750204990802797862'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/08/message-boards-and-other-things.html' title='Message Boards and other things'/><author><name>Lucy Kenelly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16224715711717532023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SzIxVJyTWvI/AAAAAAAAAkU/qc7wDVrhSYA/S220/FILE0006.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/So1mImckZxI/AAAAAAAAAQk/tnUhRd5FyQA/s72-c/EDMC2_tn_1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859318791666411857.post-5305216568628227889</id><published>2009-08-19T08:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-19T08:38:50.662-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='16 followers :)'/><title type='text'>Sorry and HOLY GUACAMOLE!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SowbYT4DPqI/AAAAAAAAAQc/ls2sfgzw7Kg/s1600-h/FILE0019.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SowbYT4DPqI/AAAAAAAAAQc/ls2sfgzw7Kg/s200/FILE0019.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371698560012336802" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hi guys! It's Molly. I'm so sorry for not posting on here in 2 days! We've been very busy preparing for school, since it starts next Monday! &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And HOLY GUACAMOLE, we have 16 followers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you to ALL of our followers! I can't believe we have 16 already!!!!! That's great!!!!! I can't say how much I thank you guys! Y'all are awesome!!!! I am so happy!!!!! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We're ready for school! There's going to be a party in the cafeteria Sunday night that we're all going to. It's like a little end-of-summer celebration. I can't wait! Nicki and Kirsten are wearing their summer outfits (they're the only ones with summer outfits!) and Mia called the AG B&amp;amp;B Atlanta shirt, so I'm kind of angry that I have to wear my Meet Outfit all the time! I need my Camp Outfit!!! I tried to convince Pioneer (she's starting to go by Katie Kenelly on her posts, but it's easier for me to say Pioneer) to get some outfits instead of dolls, but then she got really mad at me for saying I don't want Murron and Iseult to ever come. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Pioneer promised she'll ask for a few outfits for her birthday and for Christmas, but for now she wants some dolls. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Oh, and guess what? Ruthie from &lt;a href="http://ruthies-view.blogspot.com"&gt;Ruthie's View&lt;/a&gt; got us thinking about Halloween (or Hallow's/Hollow's Eve as Kirsten likes to put it), and we've decided what we're going to do... we're going to go to a pumpkin patch and pick some pumpkins there!!!!!! We've never done it before, but we've heard that at some pumpkin patches, they have rides and sometimes a ferris wheel or something! We're really excited (Rebecca is still pouty though)! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Well, I just wanted to update you on a few thingermabobbers. I posted a random picture of Beckie that I thought was pretty. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Love, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Molly &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5859318791666411857-5305216568628227889?l=samanthassisters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/feeds/5305216568628227889/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/08/sorry-and-holy-guacamole.html#comment-form' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/5305216568628227889'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/5305216568628227889'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/08/sorry-and-holy-guacamole.html' title='Sorry and HOLY GUACAMOLE!'/><author><name>Lucy Kenelly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16224715711717532023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SzIxVJyTWvI/AAAAAAAAAkU/qc7wDVrhSYA/S220/FILE0006.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SowbYT4DPqI/AAAAAAAAAQc/ls2sfgzw7Kg/s72-c/FILE0019.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859318791666411857.post-3705359510247659421</id><published>2009-08-16T09:14:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-16T09:36:40.223-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Catapulting'/><title type='text'>Meet the Teacher and The Sound of Music</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/Sog1MirNAeI/AAAAAAAAAPs/mfEcUbbSqkk/s1600-h/sound-of-music-DVDcover.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 147px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/Sog1MirNAeI/AAAAAAAAAPs/mfEcUbbSqkk/s200/sound-of-music-DVDcover.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370601045222031842" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hi everyone! It's Katie Kenelly. I just wanted to write something real quick. Sorry for not writing yesterday! I was at a furniture store with my family, and I went into the kids room with my little brother and baby sister, and they had these fun chairs that were like seesaws. My brother would catapult me off one end, and it was so fun! I also did it with my baby sister (I caught her, don't worry) and she was laughing so hard! It was so fun! I just wanted to write something funny today! Molly wants to write now. Bye!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Katie Kenelly&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hi guys! It's Molly now. So, on Friday night we met our teachers. Miss Lamb, my teacher, is very nice! She has platinum blonde hair that was swept up in a coiled bun, and she was wearing a high-waisted skirt and a short-sleeved blouse that was tucked in. She was beautiful! She said she was very excited about being my first teacher ever at Kimdale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then we went to Rebecca's teacher. She got Miss Marigold as her homeroom teacher, and Miss Marigold is the performing arts teacher! Rebecca was still cranky, though, so she wasn't very happy. But Miss Marigold was still nice!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After that, Sam and Nellie made us go meet Miss Frouchy. We were all so scared, but Miss Frouchy is actually pretty nice! She said that she wasn't related to the Miss Frouchy Sam and Nellie knew. So, that was a relief.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then we went to see Mia and Nicki's teacher. Their teacher was the music teacher, and she was also nice. Ruthie's teacher taught typing, so she was happy so that if Kit ever came to live with us, Ruthie could show Kit how good a typer she had become.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kirsten's teacher teaches history. Kirsten was happy because then she could get evry answer right on tests that had to do with the 1800s. We all laughed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking of Kirsten, her play, The Sound of Music, is next Saturday night!!!!!!!! I know! She's been working so hard! We are all very excited for her!! Don't tell her, but we have a surpise party planned for her after her play! Shhhh!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After we met all of our teachers, we got a doll taxi and went to a restaurant. We went to a nice restaurant that served Jewish food (we did it for Beckie to cheer her up, and also because we all love Jewish food) and Russian food. It was very yummy. It cheered Beckie up some, and then we went home and celebrated Sabbath with her, like we do every weekend. We all had a sleepover and stayed up until 3 A.M. It was so fun1 We watched all of the American Girl movies, and we payed close attention to Felicity's because she is coming to be our new sister soon. It was a wonderful night!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We can't wait for Kirsten's play! She's been so excited about it! Yay! The cover for the play isn't where it's supposed to be, but we found it off &lt;a href="http://www.google.com"&gt;Google&lt;/a&gt; if you search for "The Sound of Music".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Molly&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5859318791666411857-3705359510247659421?l=samanthassisters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/feeds/3705359510247659421/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/08/meet-teacher-and-sound-of-music.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/3705359510247659421'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/3705359510247659421'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/08/meet-teacher-and-sound-of-music.html' title='Meet the Teacher and The Sound of Music'/><author><name>Lucy Kenelly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16224715711717532023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SzIxVJyTWvI/AAAAAAAAAkU/qc7wDVrhSYA/S220/FILE0006.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/Sog1MirNAeI/AAAAAAAAAPs/mfEcUbbSqkk/s72-c/sound-of-music-DVDcover.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859318791666411857.post-8744426185203854152</id><published>2009-08-14T08:08:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-14T13:29:44.402-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Elizabeth&apos;s Summer Gown'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Kirsten&apos;s Midsummer Outfit'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Miss Lamb'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Felicity&apos;s Town Fair Outfit'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Samantha'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nellie'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Felicity Merriman'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Allona'/><title type='text'>Felicity Merriman *UPDATED*</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SoV-ZqioZVI/AAAAAAAAAPM/A_w6_7aq5k0/s1600-h/250px-Felicitytownfairoutfit.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 162px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SoV-ZqioZVI/AAAAAAAAAPM/A_w6_7aq5k0/s200/250px-Felicitytownfairoutfit.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369837110090556754" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Hi guys! It's Molly. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, it's official. Pioneer wants Felicity Merriman. (*This photo is from &lt;a href="http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/americangirl/images/thumb/8/89/Felicitytownfairoutfit.jpg/250px-Felicitytownfairoutfit.jpg&amp;amp;imgrefurl=http://americangirl.wikia.com/wiki/Felicity%27s_Town_Fair_Outfit&amp;amp;usg=__I7PE5-iNaJbgEG3n1zD6tGQ8JTM=&amp;amp;h=308&amp;amp;w=250&amp;amp;sz=20&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;start=129&amp;amp;sig2=wnTbOhOjXorZrFz22BtLPQ&amp;amp;um=1&amp;amp;tbnid=s81gKHGtx_tksM:&amp;amp;tbnh=117&amp;amp;tbnw=95&amp;amp;prev=/images%3Fq%3Damerican%2Bgirl%2Bdoll%2Bfelicity%2Bmerriman%26ndsp%3D21%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dsafari%26rls%3Den-us%26sa%3DN%26start%3D126%26um%3D1&amp;amp;ei=2X2FSvKtNaK-tgOj27SlBw"&gt;americangirl.wikia.com&lt;/a&gt;) &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Pioneer really wants Felicity's Town Fair outfit, but it's retitired, so she'll probably get one off eBay or get one that someone made to look like it. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Pioneer's cousin has Felicity, and she has grown out of AG, so maybe Pioneer can ask her cousin for Felicity.... LOL jk! That cousin is mean sometimes. And she probably wouldn't give any of her dolls to Pioneer anyway. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Pioneer also wants Elizabeth's Summer Gown, but that's retired also. Speaking of retired things, they retired Kirsten's Midsummer Outfit FAST! Didn't it just come out, like, in May or something? It looked so good on Kirsten! Unfortunately, Pioneer didn't get the chance to buy it. :(. Kisten would have LOVED it! Oh well. There's always eBay. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So, anyway, Pioneer wants Felicity now. Just felt like telling y'all. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Love, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Molly &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;*UPDATED* &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Hi guys, nothing special, I just didn't want to write a second post. Tonight is Meet the Teacher night! Yay! My sisters and I have decided to go together, meet our teachers, and then have a sleepover! I'm really excited! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;When I checked my mailbox this morning, I found a letter from the school (Kimdale doesn't like to deliver notes personally to the students, it takes too long). I opened it and it said: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'courier new';"&gt;Dear Miss Molly McIntire, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'courier new', fantasy;"&gt;Your new homeroom teacher for the 2009/2010 school year &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'courier new', -webkit-fantasy;"&gt;at Kimdale Boarding School for Young Ladies is Ms. Valerie Lamb. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'courier new', -webkit-fantasy;"&gt;She will be teaching you Irish Literature each school day. She &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'courier new', -webkit-fantasy;"&gt;will explain the schedule to you this evening at 5:30 PM when you go to meet her.

It was the first time I have ever heard her first name. I think it is one of the prettiest names in the whole wide world! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Anyway, I can't wait to meet my teacher! Her last name is Lamb, so hopefully she'll be as nice as a lamb. But, Nellie and Sam (unfortunately) got a teacher named MISS FROUCHY!!! Isn'ttaht awful?!?!?!? It won't be the Miss Frouchy from Sam's books, that's for sure, because she's stuck in 1905. But it could be her brother's granddaughter or something like that! Aaaah!!! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Love, again, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Molly&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5859318791666411857-8744426185203854152?l=samanthassisters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/feeds/8744426185203854152/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/08/felicity-merriman.html#comment-form' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/8744426185203854152'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/8744426185203854152'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/08/felicity-merriman.html' title='Felicity Merriman *UPDATED*'/><author><name>Lucy Kenelly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16224715711717532023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SzIxVJyTWvI/AAAAAAAAAkU/qc7wDVrhSYA/S220/FILE0006.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SoV-ZqioZVI/AAAAAAAAAPM/A_w6_7aq5k0/s72-c/250px-Felicitytownfairoutfit.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859318791666411857.post-2672833415276529373</id><published>2009-08-13T11:41:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-13T11:54:43.189-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='or Julie?'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Elizabeth'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Felicity'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Emily'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Kit'/><title type='text'>Hi everyone!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SoRgFuWYLvI/AAAAAAAAAPE/uYieTR2b7fw/s1600-h/XCO_main_1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SoRgFuWYLvI/AAAAAAAAAPE/uYieTR2b7fw/s200/XCO_main_1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369522307189976818" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hi guys! It's Katie Kenelly now. It seems like Molly has been taking over this blog! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First of all, I would like to thank all 14 of my followers! Thank you all so much! You guys are great! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second, I am still thinking about which AG doll I want. I wouldn't order her for a while, but still it's always fun to think about which AG doll you want. ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am stuck on all of those dolls! They're all so pretty! I might not get the doll that y'all vote for the most (unless it's the one I REALLY want), I just wanted to know which doll y'all recommend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Third, we're going to start posting more pics on this blog! Yay!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And fourth, Elizabeth's Holiday Gown (*This picture belongs to &lt;a href="http://www.americangirl.com/"&gt;American Girl&lt;/a&gt;) reminds me of Christmas. Yes, I know, it IS supposed to remind me of Christmas, but her gown gives me an extra special feeling about Christmas. I guess because I wanted it so bad when I was little for Christmas, I don't know. It just gives me an extra happiness boost about Christmas. :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I only have the rest of this week and next week until school starts! Aaaaahhh!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Katie Kenelly&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5859318791666411857-2672833415276529373?l=samanthassisters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/feeds/2672833415276529373/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/08/hi-everyone.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/2672833415276529373'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/2672833415276529373'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/08/hi-everyone.html' title='Hi everyone!'/><author><name>Lucy Kenelly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16224715711717532023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SzIxVJyTWvI/AAAAAAAAAkU/qc7wDVrhSYA/S220/FILE0006.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SoRgFuWYLvI/AAAAAAAAAPE/uYieTR2b7fw/s72-c/XCO_main_1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859318791666411857.post-8779353390892940317</id><published>2009-08-11T13:56:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-11T18:58:58.917-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='our Youtube video is up'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='First Picasa'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Which doll should Pioneer get'/><title type='text'>Hi y'all! *UPDATE*</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SoHcR01wQ0I/AAAAAAAAALI/lc8UXN8J98s/s1600-h/EDMC2_main_1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SoHcR01wQ0I/AAAAAAAAALI/lc8UXN8J98s/s200/EDMC2_main_1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368814429602333506" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SoHcI3IsQvI/AAAAAAAAALA/qiOE2iqmuTk/s1600-h/F7425_main_1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SoHcI3IsQvI/AAAAAAAAALA/qiOE2iqmuTk/s200/F7425_main_1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368814275599811314" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hey guys! It's Molly again!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pioneer loves Pullips, and, same as before, might get one, but today she needs help with American Girl. So....... we're asking you to help us!!!! Pioneer can't decide which doll she wants next (after she gets the stuff she currently wants from AG: Murron, Iseult, etc.):&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SoHcC2EnMiI/AAAAAAAAAK4/geZzPe6SVmY/s1600-h/XDMC_main_1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SoHcC2EnMiI/AAAAAAAAAK4/geZzPe6SVmY/s200/XDMC_main_1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368814172235051554" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, which doll do you think Pioneer should get? *These are not our pictures. They belong to American Girl &lt;a href="http://www.americangirl.com/"&gt;www.americangirl.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want Pioneer to get Emily (of course!) and Ruthie is DEMANDING Pioneer gets Kit, but I just want Pioneer to pick a doll that she'll be happy with! Oh, and (of course) Mini Julie is threatening to run away if Pioneer doesn't get Julie (the regular sized one). Mini Julie has some "anger issues". LOL just kidding! But seriously, she needs to work on her temper!&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, comment on this post to tell us which doll you recommend! Thanks!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Molly♡&lt;br /&gt;P.S. Pioneer uploaded our YouTube video! Yay! Oh, and we created our first REAL Picasa!

Well, she was looking at them and saw all the cute dolls. So, now she might get one. But MAYBE. This phase might only last a day again. If she does, she'll only want 1 or 2, so it's no big deal if she does permanently become obsessed with them, right? She said she really wants this one. *THESE ARE NOT OUR PICTURES. THEY COME FROM THE OFFICIAL PULLIP WEBSITE &lt;a href="http://www.thevalleyofthedolls.com/"&gt;www.thevalleyofthedolls.com. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That one's name is Moonstone, and she's only 4-5"! She seems really cute, and she's not VERY expensive, so we might like ehr if she comes to live with Pioneer. Pioneer also wants the one with the black lace up there. The on on the right is Cinciallgra, and she's expensive! So, if Pioneer gets any, those are probably the only ones she'll get. A mini Pullip and a regular Pullip. I actually think they're pretty, don't you? Pioneer thinks Moonstone would be either Cinciallgra's little sister or adopted niece-daughter. Probably sister.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember, this is just a thought. Pioneer doesn't know if she'll get those Pullips or not. If she does, those will most likely be her only two and that's it. She'll never doubt getting a new AG doll though! Heehee!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't think we should tell Beckie about the Pullips... she might get even angrier!

We were all shocked because usually Beckie doesn't yell. She wouldn't even hurt a fly! But now she was screaming!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I told Kirsten to go try to talk to Beckie. Kirsten came out minutes later and told Nellie to go try. Nellie came out seconds later and told Nicki to try. Nicki came out immediately and told Ruthie to try, but Ruthie only knocked on Beckie's door, and was told to go away. Mia tried next, but didn't even knock before she was told to stay away. Sam finally tried, but Beckie told her she didn't want to talk to her. It was my turn after Sam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I knocked on Beckie's door, and Beckie hollered, "Who is it?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me: Molly.&lt;br /&gt;Beckie: Come in.&lt;br /&gt;*all my sisters stared at each other in shock as I opened the door*&lt;br /&gt;Me: Beckie, what's wrong?&lt;br /&gt;Beckie: I don't want to talk about it.&lt;br /&gt;Me: Yes you do.&lt;br /&gt;Beckie: No I don't.&lt;br /&gt;Me: We both know you are dying to let it out.&lt;br /&gt;Beckie: No.&lt;br /&gt;Me: Yes.&lt;br /&gt;Beckie: No.&lt;br /&gt;Me: Yes.&lt;br /&gt;Beckie: No.&lt;br /&gt;Me: Yes.&lt;br /&gt;Beckie: NO!&lt;br /&gt;Me: Yes.&lt;br /&gt;Beckie: No!&lt;br /&gt;Me: No!&lt;br /&gt;Beckie: YES! Oh, wait... darn it!&lt;br /&gt;Me: Haha! Now, come on. Tell me.&lt;br /&gt;Beckie: Fine, I will.&lt;br /&gt;Me: I'm all ears.&lt;br /&gt;Beckie: Well, you know how Pioneer is ordering Murron and Iseult soon?&lt;br /&gt;Me: Yes...&lt;br /&gt;Beckie: Well, I'm jealous.&lt;br /&gt;Me: WHAT?!?&lt;br /&gt;Beckie: I'M WORRIED THAT PIONEER WILL LOVE MURRON AND ISEULT BETTER!&lt;br /&gt;Me: Becks, Pioneer loves us all the same!&lt;br /&gt;Beckie: Well, I'm the newest doll!&lt;br /&gt;Me: You and I arrived on the same day!&lt;br /&gt;Beckie: Pioneer opened you first!&lt;br /&gt;Me: Becks!&lt;br /&gt;Beckie: Well it's true!&lt;br /&gt;Me: I can't believe you, of all the dolls, are jealous.&lt;br /&gt;Beckie: Well someone started a rumor that Pioneer was going to make one of the new dolls a time traveler.&lt;br /&gt;Me: Yeah right. Which one of our sisters?&lt;br /&gt;Beckie: Ummmm....... well....... ummmm.... I CHECKED PIONEER'S EMAIL!&lt;br /&gt;Me: You don't know the password!&lt;br /&gt;Beckie: Darn!&lt;br /&gt;Me: Besides, so what if one of them is a time traveler? It's not the end of the world!&lt;br /&gt;Beckie: What if they want to be in 1914 with me?&lt;br /&gt;Me: They could pretend to be Ana!&lt;br /&gt;Beckie: Nope. There's only one Ana and she is stuck in 1914.&lt;br /&gt;Me: C'mon Becks. Let's go.&lt;br /&gt;Beckie: NO!&lt;br /&gt;Me: You can't stay cooped up in here forever.&lt;br /&gt;Beckie: *narrows her eyes into slits and says through her teeth* Watch me, Molly McIntire. You just watch.&lt;br /&gt;Me: *I rasberry her*&lt;br /&gt;Beckie: *wipes the spit off of her face* Yuck!&lt;br /&gt;Me: Heehee!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then I left.

It's Molly! We just got unpacked yesterday finally! Now, we're all back at Kimdale. Yay!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pioneer is making a video introducing all of us. She's going to start taking the pictures soon hopefully. She already has the song picked out, and she already downloaded iMovie HD on her Mac, so she's all set and ready to take pictures! And when she gets Murron and Iseult she'll make a new updated one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, everyone has suddenly been talking about Pullip dolls. Pioneer was obsessed with them for about a day, but she still thinks they're pretty and stuff. She doesn't think she'll buy one, though. She likes her well-known AG dolls better (yay!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wait, hold on. Nellie needs to tell me something.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;10 minutes later:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Uh-oh. Something is wrong with Beckie! She's sitting in the corner staring at the walls. She won't talk to anybody! Not even Sam or Nellie (all 3 of them are expecially close because of their close time periods)! Whenever I walked over to her and tried to talk to her, she turned away. What's wrong with our Beckie?!?!?!? She's usually so nice and sweet and outgoing, but today she's quiet. What could possibly be wrong? She's not sick or anything, so something or someone might have made her feel sad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Molly&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5859318791666411857-8736685067469079302?l=samanthassisters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/feeds/8736685067469079302/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/08/were-back.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/8736685067469079302'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/8736685067469079302'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/08/were-back.html' title='We&apos;re back!!!!!'/><author><name>Lucy Kenelly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16224715711717532023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SzIxVJyTWvI/AAAAAAAAAkU/qc7wDVrhSYA/S220/FILE0006.JPG'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859318791666411857.post-3770699957108387952</id><published>2009-08-04T12:05:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-04T15:19:24.270-07:00</updated><title type='text'>I CAN Post!</title><content type='html'>Yay!

But this blog will currently be empty of posts. :'(. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Love, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Katie Kenelly&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5859318791666411857-6145256070582431806?l=samanthassisters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/feeds/6145256070582431806/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/08/still-moving.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/6145256070582431806'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/6145256070582431806'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/08/still-moving.html' title='Still moving.'/><author><name>Lucy Kenelly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16224715711717532023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SzIxVJyTWvI/AAAAAAAAAkU/qc7wDVrhSYA/S220/FILE0006.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859318791666411857.post-5385341019936356453</id><published>2009-08-01T08:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-01T08:25:00.291-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='This is a scheduled post'/><title type='text'>Dark, gloominess</title><content type='html'>Hi everyone. By the time you'll be reading this, we'll probably still be in a box. Pioneer is writing this for me, Mia. We told her what to say.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a scheduled post.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are crammed in a dark, gloomy, yucky, smelly cardboard box. Each of us is individually wrapped up so we don't get scratched or anything. Bleh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hate this box!!!!!! HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE it! It's so bleh in here! My sisters and I talk to each other through the paper, but it's still very uncomfortable. Kirsten is on top of me, and she keeps fidgeting around. Bloopedy blep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wanna hurry up and MOVE already!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want Murron and Iseult!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want the 2 new outfits!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want the surprise!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want a bunch of stuff!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want some couture!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can tell I'm crabby right now. Sorry. It's just so HOT in here and stuffy. Why did I ahev to come in tights and a sweater?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't know when we can post again.

This is Pioneer posting (you're probably thinking, "WHAAAAT?!?"). Yes, I am finally posting. I'm going to start posting on here more often.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I'm moving Wednesday. This blog will still be the same, but the dolls won't be writing on here for a while. I might do some scheduled posts or something, I don't know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just packed all the dollies up. :'(. All 8 of them. We're moving on either Wednesday or Thursday. I don't know when the dolls will be able to post again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You're probably wondering about Kimdale. The dolls came home for the week to help me pack and stuff. Yeah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whenever I write on here from now on, I will go by Katie Kenelly. It's Irish, and I'm Irish. I love that name. It's not my real name, though. Pioneerfan04 is still my username, but whenever I write I'll say it's Katie Kenelly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't know when I'll get Murron and Iseult and all the other stuff! :(. Probably late August or something. Oh well. I'm still getting them. But probably not anytime soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, and for Emily and Spencer:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I saw your comment on the last post. Someone Named Eva is REALLY good!!! I love reading about WWII. I'm glad you're reading it and that you love it! What's funny though is when you suggested that I read the Inkheart series, I was also thinking about reading those books! :). I didn't like the movie though, but most books are way better than the movies. So, I'm going to read the Inkheart books after I get settled at the new house. :o)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I gotta go now, so...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SHALOM!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Katie Kenelly&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5859318791666411857-4558153787315168404?l=samanthassisters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/feeds/4558153787315168404/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/07/packing.html#comment-form' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/4558153787315168404'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/4558153787315168404'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/07/packing.html' title='Packing'/><author><name>Lucy Kenelly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16224715711717532023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SzIxVJyTWvI/AAAAAAAAAkU/qc7wDVrhSYA/S220/FILE0006.JPG'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859318791666411857.post-3763753199617997537</id><published>2009-07-27T13:46:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-27T13:54:36.098-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nothing much'/><title type='text'>Updates, updates, updates.</title><content type='html'>Hi guys!

But, we like to mix things up every once in a while. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are some updates:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Pioneer doesn't know when she'll order the dolls and outfits and surprise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-The next doll Pioneer saves up for is going to be a JLY #27 named after the character in Pioneer's favorite book, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Someone Named Eva &lt;/span&gt;by Joan M.

Well, not a lot, but maybe 1 long post a day. We won't be able to post every day, because Pioneer is going to start at a new school the same day we start at Kimdale, and we can't post without her here for some reason in the doll world, so yeah.

Soon as in maybe a few days or something. She doesn't wanna bug her mom because of all the stress of moving and stuff. And she just got a gift card to Barnes and Noble, and got &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Rebecca and Ana&lt;/span&gt; and LICORICE!!!!!!!! I KNOW!!!! Pioneer was so excited when she saw Licorice!!!! Now, we have 3 pets! Coconut, Sprocket, and Licorice!!! We all love our new kitty!

We are all writing it!</title><content type='html'>Hi everyone! It's our 100th post, and yesterday we said we were planning to do something special. Well, it's not really all that special, but it is to us! We're making a list of all the doll couture Pioneer wants to get us! So, here goes!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;The 1940s Party Dress from Damsels-in-Dress. Pioneer absolutely LOVES this dress! She loves everything about it! Everything!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;The Dainty Dots Dress from Melody Valerie. Pioneer LOVES the colors and the polka dots on this dress.  &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The 1904-101 Beige Dress from Terri's Touch. Pioneer LOVES the hair ribbon that comes with it, and the colors. She just loves the style!  &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Spring #7 from Liberty Jane. Pioneer just likes the tanktop and the shorts. She's not a real big fan of Liberty Jane, 'cause they're mostly Hannah Montana clothes and she strongly dislikes (hate is not a nice word for dolls) Hannah Montana and her clothes. So, this outfit is pretty nice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Kirsten 4908F (we didn't see a name for it). Pioneer loves the apron and the dress and shawl. Loves everything. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Now, that's not a whole lot, because a lot of stuff is already sold, but yeah. Pioneer REALLY wants the Damsels-in-Dress one, and the Terri's &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Touch one. Those are the ones she wants sooooo bad! She would love them! But, I guess she probably won't get them since a) she's already decided she's getting something at the AG B&amp;amp;B in Dallas and b) she doesn't wanna beg her mom to order them for her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, there's always Christmas and birthdays. And sewing lessons so Pioneer can make dresses by herself. Hmm, that's not a bad idea!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since we're on the subject of clothes, Pioneer wants to take sewing lessons so she can make us clothes for FREE! &lt;/span&gt;Well, she's still have to buy fabric and her own sewing kit, but still she wouldn't have to buy a dress! She is thinking of making something for Nellie, since she's Pioneer's first Irish AG doll (Pioneer's Irish), and Nellie doesn't really have a lot for her time period. Samantha doesn't either, but Pioneer wants to make a dress for Nellie first. So, she wants to kind of remake Nellie's spring/birthday/pink (Pioneer's forgotten the name of it!) dress. She'll probably have to be an excellent sewer to make that, though, so she'll start with something basic, like a long-skirted prairie teacher-ish outfit for Kirsten or any of us. Pioneer LOVES the time of the pioneers (you can tell by the name), so that'll probably be her first easy one, and Nellie's will probably be her first hard one. Pioneer already has a Barbie prairie teacher-ish dress so she can use that as a model of what to make. Now, we need sewing lessons. Argh! But, I have (or more like hope) that Pioneer will catch on to sewing easily because she has 'piano hands' (long, slender fingers) and she can make those bracelets and stuff in about 5 minutes. So, sewing can't be that hard for her, right? Oh, let's hope!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I wonder who Pioneer will pick as a model to take pictures of when she's done making a dress? I know, we're thinking too far ahead, but this stuff is fun to plan! Like, how some girls think about what they want for their birhtday when it's 3 months away or something. Pioneer will probably pick a doll that fits in with the time-period of the dress she made. Like, for her first dress she want's to make (the prairie teacher one) she'll probably pick from Kirsten, Sam, or Beckie. For Nellie's dress she'll definitely pick Nellie (no duh, Nicki!). I don't know. We're just really excited today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking of fashion, we can't wait to go to the American Girl Boutique and Bistro! Pioneer's parents are thinking about going next weekend, but it's not for sure yet. So, we won't say it is definitely next weekend, but we are definitely going this summer. That will probably be our first Picasa album. We'll also make an album of Kirsten in The Sound of Music, which she will be doing of August 23, the day before the very first day of school! OMG! School! Aaaah! But, we're at Kimdale, so I wonder what this school will be like. Hmmm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We've gotta go now, but have a wonderful day!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your friends at Samantha and her sisters' Extraordinary Blog!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/Sl8ryZ3BooI/AAAAAAAAAJI/n0Tz4D24zz8/s1600-h/il_430xN.63630176.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;img src="file:///Users/siobhan/Desktop/il_430xN.63630176.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5859318791666411857-3826092353083898770?l=samanthassisters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/feeds/3826092353083898770/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/07/our-100th-post-we-are-all-writing-it.html#comment-form' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/3826092353083898770'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/3826092353083898770'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/07/our-100th-post-we-are-all-writing-it.html' title='Our 100th Post!

It's Nellie, and first of all I'm going to tell you what happened when I had to do all my apologies. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;When I had to apologize to the Mini Dolls: &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Dear Mini Dolls, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I am terribly sorry for the way I acted. It was entirely immature and cruel. I should not have sprayed shaving cream all over y'all. There's not enough paper in the world for me to write how sorry I am. I regret what I have done. I really do. I hope you will forgive me. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sincerely, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Nellie O'Malley &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;When I had to apologize to the dolls I put signs on: &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I first walked up to the Gwen doll we put that horrible sign on. This is what happened. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Me: Gwen, I'm so sorry we put that sign on you. I feel so bad! I can't even tell you how sorry I am! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Gwen: Oh. Umm, that's okay. I know you feel bad. I forgive you. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Me: Oh, thank you so much! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And then I went to apologize to the others. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;When I had to apologize to the dolls that were in the dorms we threw rocks at: &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I walked up to the first dorm. Inside was a Josefina doll and a Marisol doll. I apologized to them, and they forgave me. I walked tot he next dorm I threw a rock at. Inside was a Kailey doll and a Lindsey doll. I apologized to them, they forgave me, and I moved on to the next room. And the next. And the next (wow, I didn't realize until then that we threw a bunch of rocks!), and the next, and they all forgave me. Then, I moved on to the dorm that Issie threw the huge rock at, and the window almost shattered. I knocked on the door, and stared at my shoes. I couldn't look them in the eye, whoever it was. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Suddenly, the doll opened the door. I heard her gasp, but I didn't bother to look up. I couldn't. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Me: I'm sorry for throwing the the rock at your window on the Fourth of July. It was huge and almost went right threw, and it could've hurt you. I am so sorry. I feel awful. I feel so ashamed I can't even look you in the eyes. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The doll: It's okay. We forgive you. We already have. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Me: *confused* What?!?! (I then gasped) &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My hand flew to my mouth, and tears started falling down my cheeks. My sisters, all 7 of them, were standing in the doorway. I had thrown the rocks at their window. I could've hurt my very own sisters. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Me: Oh my gosh! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sam: Nellie, it's okay! We already made up Monday! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Me: No, no. It's not okay. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sam: Nellie, c'mon! We're past all the drama! There's no point in going back! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Me: You're right. I'm still sorry, though. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Mia: That's okay. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And then we all gathered into a group hug! Yay! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Okay, now, we're over the drama.... for now. LOL! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Anywho, since tomorrow will be our 100th post, we're going to do something special. We don't know what yet, but it's going to be good! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Oh, and look at this: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; ()__() &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; (  * .*  ) &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;  (&gt;     &lt;)~ &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It's a mousey!

Y'all guys are all so nice to us! Thanks a trillion! &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;~all 8 of us! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now it's Molly posting: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now, about the new book. Pioneer did a Summer Reading Program and read her 5 books, and today she turned in her reading log! The prizes are some coupons, a certificate, a lollipop, and a you get to pick out a book off a cart they have with donated books! Pioneer immediately started searching for American Girl books, but they only had 2. So sad! They were &lt;i&gt;Kit Learns a Lesson &lt;/i&gt;and &lt;i&gt;Samantha Saves the Day. &lt;/i&gt;Pioneer got &lt;i&gt;Kit Learns a Lesson &lt;/i&gt;because she saw that one first. Samantha's kind of upset about that, but pish-posh, Sam. So now we have 17 American Girl books! Pioneer wants to collect the AG books, not just the dolls' books, but the ones when American Girl let authors write about different things, such as Girls of Many Lands, and A Ceiling of Stars, you know what I mean. But the only books she has now are 16 of the dolls' books and the book book that comes with the Irish Dance Outfit of Today. But, we will keep collecting! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Anyway, we've decided that since Kirsten is in danger of being the next retired doll, Pioneer is thinking about getting Kirsten a dress instead of the Petal Hoodie outfit when she goes to the American Girl Boutique and Bistro in Dallas soon. We already have her St. Lucia outfit and her Summer outfit, and her doll, Sari. Pioneer wants all of Kirsten's things before they're gone. We probably still have enough time, though, since American Girl just retired Samantha, but Pioneer still wants Kirsten's things. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Oh, we've talked only about buying books and outfits during this whole post! Oh, we're just so excited about going to Dallas soon. Pioneer's still figuring out who to take. She's allowed to take all of us if she wants, she just has to hold us without asking her parents to hold them for her. I don't think she'll want to hold all 8 of us during the whole time she's at the store, because chances are she'll be drooling all over the whole store for about 3 hours! Haha lol! Just kidding! She'll probably be there for a LONG time, though. She loves shopping for her dolls. And, she's never been to the AGP or the AG B&amp;amp;B before, so this is going to be a pretty special trip for her! Also, we get Iseult, Murron, 2 new outfits, and the surprise there! Pioneer has been looking forward to this trip since before Thanksgiving! I know! That's a LOOONG time, especially for us dolls. We promise to take LOTS of pictures when we go though, and make a Picasa album out of the pictures. We'll post the day before we leave, and you can comment on that post on what you think the surprise is! But, that's not for a few weeks, so let's talk about what's currently going on. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Have I told you my roommate is a JLY #28? Yeah, her name is Delilah, and she's really nice! She looks a little like Chrissa, don't you think? Just lighter hair, brown eyes, and darker skin, but that's it! Anywho, she decorated her half of the room like a rainforest, with paper trees and monkey stuffies hanging on the branches, and sticky frogs all over the wall, and a fly net all draped around her bed like a princess's bed, and snake stuffies are coiled around the net, and she has a jaguar stuffie on the tree and a sloth stuffie on her bed. She even has a comforter on her bed with rainforest animals on it, and a rainforest animal pillowcase, and her lucky hat is a Rainforest Cafe baseball cap. I asked her why she loves the rainforest so much and she said that she used to live in a rainforest with her owner, but then she was sent here so she could learn other things, like history and math and science. She's really nice and funny.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Well, we have to go now.

We figured it out! Pioneer didn't notice the 'settings' bar at the top! Heehee! Sorry! Oh, and update on Nellie:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, it's Nicki, and here's what happened when we talked to Nellie about her hacking into Miss P.'s computer:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me: Nellie *I'm running to catch up with her in the hallway* wait up!&lt;br /&gt;Nellie: *spins around* Oh, it's you, the tattletale.&lt;br /&gt;Me: Nellie, please! We're doll sisters! Hear me out!&lt;br /&gt;Nellie: *leans against wall* Fine, what do you want?&lt;br /&gt;Me: Nellie, why are you doing these things? First you become the 'delinquent' all the teachers are after, then you hack into the headmistress's computer! Nellie, that's against the law!&lt;br /&gt;Nellie: What? I didn't hack into the computer!&lt;br /&gt;Me: Yes, you did! Who else would've?&lt;br /&gt;Nellie: I don't know! But I swear to you I did NOT hack into a computer! That is way too bad! I wouldn't want to get arrested!&lt;br /&gt;Me: THEN WHO HACKED INTO THE COMPUTER?!?!?&lt;br /&gt;Nellie: Ummm..... ummm...&lt;br /&gt;Me: Nellie, I know you know who did it, and you just don't want to get them in trouble.&lt;br /&gt;Nellie: I promised her I wouldn't tell.&lt;br /&gt;Me: Nellie, I'm your sister!&lt;br /&gt;Nellie: I promised!&lt;br /&gt;Me: Nellie!&lt;br /&gt;Nellie: Fine! It was.....&lt;br /&gt;Me: Yes?&lt;br /&gt;Nellie: It was..... okay it was Anabella! She saw me type in the username and password into the blog and wrote it down, then hacked into Miss P.'s computer!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suddenly, Nellie bursted into tears! Luckily, the bathroom was right next to us, and it's a one girl restroom on this side of the floor, so I ran her into it, and handed her some tissues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me: Okay, Nellie, tell me what's going on.&lt;br /&gt;Nellie: *blows her nose and leans against the wall* Okay, well, you see, you know how I've always been pretty quiet and stuff?&lt;br /&gt;Me: Yes.&lt;br /&gt;Nellie: Well, I was sick of that, and I wanted people to know me and I wanted to be popular, and when I met Anabella and found out she was a Queen Bee, I took a shot at being nice to her, and then I became her new BFF. So, I started acting like her so I could stay friends with her, but I didn't act like her accidentally, I did it on purpose. Then, before you know it, I'm doing it on accident. And when I saw my post, I tried not to let it bother me, but I just felt so bad.&lt;br /&gt;Me: So all this happened just so you would be popular?&lt;br /&gt;Nellie: Yes. And I feel so bad!&lt;br /&gt;Me: Well, we have to tell this to Miss P. right now.&lt;br /&gt;Nellie: But what if Anabella gets kicked out of school?&lt;br /&gt;Me: That would be good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then we walked and rounded up our other sisters, and then marched to Miss P.'s office. I knocked on the door, and heard Miss P.'s delicate voice say, "You may come in!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Miss P.: Why, girls, hello. And Nellie, it's a surprise to see you with your sisters again.&lt;br /&gt;Nellie: I know.&lt;br /&gt;Miss P.: Now, what do you girls want to tell me?&lt;br /&gt;Me: Not us, Nellie.&lt;br /&gt;Miss P.: Nellie, you can have a seat right there, and the rest of you must go outside and wait on the bench by my door.&lt;br /&gt;Me: Yes, ma'am.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As soon as we shut the door, we all huddled up and whispered quietly. Then, after about 10 minutes, Miss P. opened the door and told us to come in, and we sat down on the sofa in her office.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Miss P.: Now, girls, Nellie has told me that what you all told me was true, and that Anabella was the one that hacked into the computer.&lt;br /&gt;*We all nod our heads*&lt;br /&gt;Miss P.: So, Nellie, your punishment is to only write an apology note to the Mini Dolls and read it aloud to them, and to say sorry to all the dolls you put notes on, and to say sorry to all the girls that live in the dorms that you threw rocks at. Oh, and the paper is due by 5 o'clock today and you must read it aloud to them right after I tell you whether or not the letter is appropriate or not. Understood?&lt;br /&gt;Nellie: *nods her head while looking at her shoes*&lt;br /&gt;Miss P.: Thank you for telling me the truth Nellie. It's not always easy to tell the truth, especially when it means you might get in trouble or your friends might get in trouble.&lt;br /&gt;Nellie: Your welcome.&lt;br /&gt;Miss P.: Now, I will call in Anabella and talk to her. Nellie, you stay here with me and Anabella. Nicki, Beckie, Sam, Kirsten, Mia, Molly and Ruthie, you girls can go. '&lt;br /&gt;Me: Yes ma'am.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, that's all we heard. Nellie wants to post now about what happened with her, Anabella, and Miss P. after we left. Bye! Love, Nicki.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hi guys! It's Nellie, and first of all I just wanted to say sorry for the way I've acted on this blog. Now, let me tell you what happened when my sisters left Miss P.'s office:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Miss P.: *she's talking on the phone to the lunch lady, who is going to bring Bananbella to the office, since it's lunchtime*&lt;br /&gt;Miss P.: *hangs up*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, the door opens, and Anabella comes in and sits in the other chair. She looks angry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Miss P.: Anabella, how nice to see you stomping in like a lady!&lt;br /&gt;Me: *I snicker a little at the sarcastic remark*&lt;br /&gt;Anabella: *her face turns bright red*&lt;br /&gt;Miss P.: Now, Anabella, I hear you were the one that lead the horrible events on the Fourth of July.&lt;br /&gt;Anabella: You don't have any proof!&lt;br /&gt;Miss P.: Yes, I do. Nellie admitted that you were the ones causing all the trouble, and you were the one that hacked into my computer.&lt;br /&gt;Anabella: *snaps her head in my direction and glares at me, and says through her teeth* How could you?&lt;br /&gt;Miss P.: Anabella!&lt;br /&gt;Anabella: *turns her head to face Miss P., and makes a puppy-dog face. She widens her eyes REALLY big and makes them look wet* Those things ARE true, Miss P., and I feel so bad. I don't know what came over me! Will you ever forgive me? *makes her lower lip stick out and makes it tremble, like she's about to cry*&lt;br /&gt;Miss P.: I have forgiven you, but you are suspended.&lt;br /&gt;Anabella: *jumps out of her seat* WHAT?!?!?!?!?!!?&lt;br /&gt;Miss P.: Yup.&lt;br /&gt;Anabella: For how long?&lt;br /&gt;Miss P.: Until I contact your owner and tell her that you can come back.&lt;br /&gt;Anabella: That's not fair!&lt;br /&gt;Miss P.: What? Would you rather I call the police and report you for hacking into my computer? I think that this is entirely fair compared to jail. Now, go pack your bags, and I will call a cab for you.&lt;br /&gt;Anabella: *turns to me, bends down by my ear, and whispers* I will get you for this, Nellie. Don't think I won't. I'll be back.&lt;br /&gt;Miss P.: Nellie you may go also.&lt;br /&gt;Me: Thank you Miss P.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I walked out Anabella was already long gone. I looked around, saw no one, and jumped up in the air and let out a whoop. It felt wonderful to finally have all those lies and such off my back! I felt free and light!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few minutes later, me and my sisters were called up with C.C. and Massie to go say bye to Bananabella. We all walked up to the front of the school, and waited for Bananabella to come. Soon after, we turned and saw her lugging 4 HUGE suitcases and kicking a cardboard box in front of her. The sight of her made me laugh! She glared at me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Miss P.: *twirling the keys to the achool door* Do you need any help, Anabella?&lt;br /&gt;Anabella: *barks back* No!&lt;br /&gt;Miss P.: A taxi will be here to pick you up in 10 minutes.&lt;br /&gt;Anabella: You didn't even call a chauffer for a limo??!?!??&lt;br /&gt;Miss P.: That's ridiculous! Why would I do that?&lt;br /&gt;Anabella: Well I ARRIVED here in a limo!&lt;br /&gt;Miss P.: So?&lt;br /&gt;Anabella: UGH!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We all waited for a few more minutes, and, sure enough, a taxi pulled up. The driver hopped out and opened the back door for Anabella. She handed him all her suitcases and put the cardboard box next to her in her seat. The driver swung the suitcases into the trunk and slammed it shut. He hopped back into the front and turned the car back on. Anabella rolled her window down, and waved to C.C. and Massie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anabella: Bye C.C. and Issie! Don't worry, I'll be back! I love you guys like sisters!&lt;br /&gt;C.C. and Issie: Right back at ya, Bella!&lt;br /&gt;Anabella: An you guys! *she looks at me and my sisters* I'll see to y'all when I come back from suspension! Have a HORRIBLE summer!&lt;br /&gt;Me: We'll NOT miss you too! Bye!&lt;br /&gt;My sisters: *they all laugh*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, Anabella was driven away by the taxi driver, and the yellow cab slowly faded out of sight. When it was all gone, and C.C. and Issie were inside with Miss P., my sisters and I all clapped and hugged each other. But, as we were walking inside, my cell phone buzzed in my purse. I flipped it open, and saw a new text. When I opened it, I saw something a little creepy:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: webdings;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;Anabella: I will see you soon, my deary! &gt;:) *evil laugh*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;I almost screamed, but I covered my mouth, deleted the message, and shoved my phone back in my purse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, let's hope when she comes back that she's nice!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nellie&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5859318791666411857-3386004485664245068?l=samanthassisters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/feeds/3386004485664245068/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/07/never-mind.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/3386004485664245068'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/3386004485664245068'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/07/never-mind.html' title='Never mind!'/><author><name>Lucy Kenelly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16224715711717532023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SzIxVJyTWvI/AAAAAAAAAkU/qc7wDVrhSYA/S220/FILE0006.JPG'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859318791666411857.post-4682858518624261804</id><published>2009-07-13T11:59:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-13T12:01:07.610-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Please comment'/><title type='text'>We need help!</title><content type='html'>Okay, Pioneer is trying to make a profile pic for her Picasa account, but she doesn't know how!

Pioneer is really sick, so we haven't posted in a while. But, anyway, Pioneer rented the Chrissa movie last night, and so we watched it with her. It was really good. Our favorite part was when Chrissa finally told her parents what Tara was doing to her. For those of you who haven't seen it, I won't tell you what happens in the end, but it's really good. We think it's the best AG movie yet! Speaking of AG movies, we're going to rate the movies. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Chrissa: 5 stars &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Kit Kittredge: 1/2 star (Pioneer fell asleep watching it she was so bored) &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Molly: 3 stars. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Felicity: 4 stars. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Samantha: 4 1/2 stars. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now that's just our opinion. We will be doing a new pole at the right on which AG movie is your favorite. Oh, and we may not give you a surprise hint everyday.... :) &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Love, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;All 7 of us (no Nellie) &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5859318791666411857-2516542904609020358?l=samanthassisters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/feeds/2516542904609020358/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/07/finally-something-happy-to-write-about.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/2516542904609020358'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/2516542904609020358'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/07/finally-something-happy-to-write-about.html' title='Finally something happy to write about'/><author><name>Lucy Kenelly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16224715711717532023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SzIxVJyTWvI/AAAAAAAAAkU/qc7wDVrhSYA/S220/FILE0006.JPG'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859318791666411857.post-7455592124408553497</id><published>2009-07-09T16:37:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-10T14:47:14.296-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Oh my'/><title type='text'>AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!

Well, here's what happened: &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;All of us are standing outside the hallway, staring at Miss P.'s (the headmistress) door. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Molly: Sam, you knock. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sam: NOOOOO WAAY! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Mia: Kirsten, you do it. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Kirsten: Why me? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Nicki: NOT ME! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ruthie: I'm too scared. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Me: Fine, I'll do it! *I rap my fist on the door* &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Miss P.: Come in! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;*We walk in* &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Miss P.: Why, hello girls! Always a delight to see you! Kirsten, I hear your starring in our end of summer play, The Sound of Music! I will be sure to have a front row seat! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Kirsten: Thank you! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Miss P.: And Mia, I hear you're very talented at skating. Will you be joining our skate team when school starts? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Mia: Yes ma'am! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Miss P.: And Samantha, will you be joining our Orphan Helpers? Their a group who goes to the Orphanage every Sunday to deliver food and presents. Tons of dolls here do it! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sam: Deal! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Miss P.: Nicki, will you help the other dolls on campus tarin dogs? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Nicki: Already have started! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Miss P.: Ruthie, will you be helping the poor people at the church with the Helping Hands club here? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ruthie: Of course! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Miss P.: Miss Molly, are you going to be doing Red Cross Nurse Training? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Molly: Yes. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Miss P.: And miss Rebecca Rubin. Are you signing up for drama club? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Me: After school starts. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Miss P.: Splendid! Now, what do you girls need to tell me? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Suddenly, a thick fog of scariness settled over us. All my sisters were staring at me. I could feel my armpits getting sweaty, so I took off my shawl and rolled up my sleeves, but the black tights and faux-fur on my dress did not cool me down. I took my black velvet hat off, but sweat still trickled down my forehead. My read dress was slowly turning darker with sweat. My throat became dry, and my eyes widened. I couldn't look at Miss P. in the eyes, so I stared at my shoes and twirled my hat with my hands. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Miss P.: Girls? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Me: Well, ummm, you see, we, ummm, well.... umm..... uhhhh... you know how on the.... ummm... uhhhh...... Fourth of July there were those 4 'hooligans' who were just trouble? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Miss P.: *says slowly* Yeeeesssssssss....... &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Me: Well, umm, we, ummm... well, ummmm....... ummm.... uhhhhhh.... &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Miss P.: *straightens herself in her swivel chair* Girls, what is going on? Were 4 of you the delinquents who arouse the trouble? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Me: NO! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! Absolutely not! No, no! No! No! No! Never! We would never do such a thing! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Miss P.: Then what's the problem, ladies? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Me: We know who did it. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Miss P.: WHAT? Who? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sam: Nellie O'Malley, our sister, Anabella James, Massie Worthy, and Coco Chanel von Flipp. They did all those things. All! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Miss P.: Oh, my! Those girls! I don't know what I'm going to do about it! Wait, yes I do. Detention for the rest of summer, 3 hours a day. Perfect! And, they will clean up the cafeteria, write 'I will not go out at night and rise trouble' 200 times, and 'I will not do any pranks or mean things to the Mini American Girl Dolls ever again' 300 times, and write a 2,000 character apology letter to the Mini Dolls, each of the girls writing their own, &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;and no recess for the rest of summer. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We all smiled to ourselves. I was beaming with happiness! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Miss P.: Girls, I am so happy you told me right when you found out! I am going to call up the girls NOW! Have a wonderful day! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Miss P. politely ushered us to the door.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We will write  more tomorrow. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Shalom, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Rebecca&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5859318791666411857-7445430535545197902?l=samanthassisters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/feeds/7445430535545197902/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/07/what-happened-with-headmistress.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/7445430535545197902'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/7445430535545197902'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/07/what-happened-with-headmistress.html' title='What happened with the Headmistress'/><author><name>Lucy Kenelly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16224715711717532023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SzIxVJyTWvI/AAAAAAAAAkU/qc7wDVrhSYA/S220/FILE0006.JPG'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859318791666411857.post-6128484972769125295</id><published>2009-07-06T20:32:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-06T20:39:23.835-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Samantha wrote this sorry post'/><title type='text'>OMG!</title><content type='html'>Read the post below before you read this... it will explain this post. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;OMG we read Nellie's last post, and it was HORRIBLE!

We were all sitting in a circle, when this huge rock flew to our window and almost came through! I ran to the window and opened it, and all I saw was a flash of blonde hair dive into the trees, and a blue bow. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Lindsey was with the other GOTY dolls having a sleepover, and so we decided to have a sleepover in my (me, Samantha) dorm. But we didn't invite Nellie. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I am so mad! All my other sisters are mad also! Can you believe how awful Nellie is? Putting shaving cream all over the Mini Dolls! Throwing rocks! Prank calling and sticking signs on other people! She is horrible! She is mean! And stupid Bananabelle is dragging her deeper into a dark pit of cruelness! Nellie sunk down to a low-class trashy level! She used to be so nice and harmless. She wouldn't hurt a fly! But now look what she's doing! And she wrote on MJ! I started crying when I read that part! How could she! All of us have decided to tell the headmistress about Nellie. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sincerely, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Samantha Parkington &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5859318791666411857-6128484972769125295?l=samanthassisters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/feeds/6128484972769125295/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/07/omg.html#comment-form' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/6128484972769125295'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/6128484972769125295'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/07/omg.html' title='OMG!'/><author><name>Lucy Kenelly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16224715711717532023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SzIxVJyTWvI/AAAAAAAAAkU/qc7wDVrhSYA/S220/FILE0006.JPG'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859318791666411857.post-3775306711527253282</id><published>2009-07-06T20:16:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-06T20:32:02.577-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='It&apos;s so fun being mean'/><title type='text'>The Party</title><content type='html'>Heeey it's Nellie! I officially go by Ella, now though, but anyway, I love my new BFFs! The 4OJ party on Sat. was sooooo much fun! We prank called the Mini Doll building (there's no caller ID here!) and put 'Loser!' signs on people's backs as we walked by them, oh and C.C. did the most hilarious thing! She put on someone's back, "I forgot to flush the toilet, so I went back and flooded it but I left it without telling someone" and the doll never noticed (it was a Gwen doll) and when someone showed her, she screamed! We laughed so hard!&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;After we were done pranking people, we did karaoke competitions and a dance-off! Then, we changed into our pajamas and had a pillow fight, then we got out some snacks and watched 5 movies, and then ran outside to watch fireworks even though it was midnight (people still do fireworks until 3 in the morning here!) and whooped and hollered. C.C. got down like a wolf and howled at the moon. I laughed so hard. Ohhh, and then we got pebbles and threw them a some dolls' windows, and when they opened them we ran giggling into the trees. Once, Issie threw a large rock so hard, it almost went through the window! The doll in there flew the window open, but we were already gone! Then, Belle told us to follow her. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We followed Belle into her dorm, and got 12 cans of shaving cream. We slowly made our way to the Mini Dolls building, and snuck in through the cafeteria window. There were tiny tables and tiny chairs, and tiny food. The doors were normal-sized though. So, we snuck into a random dorm and saw two Mini Dolls sleeping deeply. We got the shaving cream, and started spraying it on the Mini Dolls. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The last room we did was MJ's, my Mini Julie. She was sharing her room with a Mini Nellie. I almost didn't draw on her, but I couldn't resist. I wrote across her stomach, "&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Ella O'Malley was here! Loser!" &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We had so much fun drawing all over the Mini Dolls with shaving cream! It's so fun to be a popular girl! I will never leave WCYSNC (We're cool, you're sooo not crew)! They're the greatest friends you could ever have! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;From, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ella&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5859318791666411857-3775306711527253282?l=samanthassisters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/feeds/3775306711527253282/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/07/party.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/3775306711527253282'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/3775306711527253282'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/07/party.html' title='The Party'/><author><name>Lucy Kenelly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16224715711717532023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SzIxVJyTWvI/AAAAAAAAAkU/qc7wDVrhSYA/S220/FILE0006.JPG'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859318791666411857.post-8681606746913409444</id><published>2009-07-05T14:37:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-05T14:37:57.611-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Our YouTube account...</title><content type='html'>...is pioneerfan04.

WE ALL WISH YOU A SAFE AND HAPPY HOLIDAY!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pioneer got a video camera (that can also take pics) for Christmas, but she needed a chip for it so the camera could take videos that were longer than 20 seconds, and she just got it yesterday, and a tripod, and a Youtube account! Guess what all that means? A STOP-MOTION MOVIE! Yes! Pioneer is going to make a stop-motion of us, and post them on our Youtube account, and take pictures of us for our Picasa! Isn't that exciting? And she will post pictures of our 4 of July celebration soon! Oh, and we have even more news: Pioneer went to Target today, and as you may have read on Doll Diaries, there is a dollar section with mini tin lunchkits that can be used as lunchboxes for AG dolls! They come with a Sprite one and a Coca-Cola one. We will post pics of them ASAP. They're really cute! And more exciting news: KIRSTEN GOT THE PART OF GRETEL IN THE SOUND OF MUSIC!!!!!!!!!! I know! We were all so happy! Kirsten almost cried she was so happy! The audition was really hard, and about 30 other girls wanted the part too, but they chose KIRSTEN! We are so proud of her! We will take pictures of her doing the role at the play, which is on the 29 this month!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wow, a post of nothing but happy news, except for some terrible news: Nellie doesn't hang out with us anymore! She is hanging out with this girl named Anabelle (we call her Bananabelle like Felicity and Elizabeth do) and these two other mean girls. Nellie is even becoming a bit fierce. I went to her dorm the other day to ahng out with her, and she opened the door, and when she saw it was me she rolled her eyes, put her hands on her hips and said, "What do &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;you &lt;/span&gt;want, Rebecca Rubin?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I told her I thought we could hang out together for a while, and she goes, "Uhhh, no way! I have 3 new BFFs who are totally fashionable and &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;not &lt;/span&gt;historical characters!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"But, Nellie," I said. "You're a historical character!"&lt;br /&gt;"Not anymore. And my name's not Nellie, it's Ella. Oh, and you can have this lame historical dress of mine, it's soooo out this season!" She snapped at me as she shoved her Meet dress into my arms. Then she &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;SLAMMED THE DOOR IN MY FACE WITHOUT SAYING THANK-YOU OR GOODBYE!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;I was shocked that Nellie did that! I ran back to tell all the others, and they were shocked too!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What are we going to do?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Worriedly,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rebecca&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5859318791666411857-8879491844778440964?l=samanthassisters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/feeds/8879491844778440964/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/07/happy-fourth-of-july.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/8879491844778440964'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/8879491844778440964'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/07/happy-fourth-of-july.html' title='HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!'/><author><name>Lucy Kenelly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16224715711717532023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SzIxVJyTWvI/AAAAAAAAAkU/qc7wDVrhSYA/S220/FILE0006.JPG'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859318791666411857.post-1547414231436265483</id><published>2009-07-03T14:46:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-03T14:48:43.035-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='THANK YOU ALL SOOOOOOOOO MUCH :)'/><title type='text'>Thank you guys!</title><content type='html'>Thank you so much Kirsten and Julie &amp;amp; Ruthie (2 different accounts) for being the tenth and ELEVENTH followers!

We are leaving for breakfast soon, so I have time to write. I sat with guess who at lunch? ANABELLA! Here's what happened:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me: Hi Anabella!&lt;br /&gt;A.B.:Um, like, hi Nellie?&lt;br /&gt;Me: Can I sit with you?&lt;br /&gt;A.B.: Whatevs.&lt;br /&gt;Me: So, who are your friends?&lt;br /&gt;A.B.: Oh, the JLY #21 is Massie, and JLY #22 is Coco Chanel.&lt;br /&gt;Me: Hi Massie! Hi Coco Chanel! Coco, were you named after the famous woman in the '20s or something who made clothes and stuff?&lt;br /&gt;C.C.: What are you talking about?&lt;br /&gt;Me: You don't know who Coco Chanel is?&lt;br /&gt;C.C.: Whaaaaaaaaaat? I'm confused. That's a perfume.&lt;br /&gt;Me: Ohhhhh boy. Who do you think created the perfume?&lt;br /&gt;C.C.: Idk (she actually said IDK, not I don't know, IDK!), like, people in, like, Tokyo or Japan?&lt;br /&gt;Me: Tokyo is in Japan.&lt;br /&gt;C.C.: Are you serious?&lt;br /&gt;Me.: Yessssss!&lt;br /&gt;C.C.: Ummmmm, like, how do you know this stuff? Like--&lt;br /&gt;A.B.: Shut up, C.C.! Just shut up! Why are you so stupid sometimes?&lt;br /&gt;C.C.: Oh, Nellie, my nickname is C.C., BTW, and--&lt;br /&gt;A.B.: Did you hear what I even said?&lt;br /&gt;C.C.: Oh, that was you?&lt;br /&gt;A.B. *groans*&lt;br /&gt;Massie: Nellie, I LOVE your haircut!&lt;br /&gt;Me: Thank you!&lt;br /&gt;A.B.: Okay, Nellie, now, let me have a word with the girls for a minute, yes?&lt;br /&gt;Me: Ummm, ok. Sure.&lt;br /&gt;A.B.: BRB *walks over to talk to the others*&lt;br /&gt;A.B.: *comes back to my side* Will you sit with us from now on? Tomorrow, this same table, and wear that exact same outfit, KK?&lt;br /&gt;Me: Sure.&lt;br /&gt;A.B.: Now, since it's your first time with us, we should let you know that we're a Clique, and it's a really big deal to let someone join us. We've been here at Kimdale for 6 years, so we are, like, the queens of the school.&lt;br /&gt;Me: Okaaaaaaaaaay.....&lt;br /&gt;A.B.: Now, sit with us at lunch too, KK?&lt;br /&gt;Me: Okay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And I will tell you what happened at lunch tomorrow!

Camping trip, unpacking, the auditorium get-to-know each other meeting. We just got back from the camping trip yesterday. It was an okay trip, but not very fun. We had to sleep on the ground, not in tents, on the sticks and rocks and leaves, so my back is all bruised and cut and aching. And my neck hurts from sleeping on my pillow all weird. Ugh. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;BTW, it's Nellie, and I am sharing my dorm with... nobody! I know! Well, I did, but when I walked into the room, my roommate was already packing up her belongings and such. Here's what happened: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Me: Oh, um, hi! What's your name? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The doll: Anabella. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Me: Nice to meet you, Anabella! I'm Nellie O'Malley, your new roommate! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Anabella: I'm moving out to a new dorm. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Me: WHAT?!?!?!?!?! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A.B.: Yap. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Me: Why? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A.B.: Because I hate sharing my room with other people, and so I threw a hissyfit to the headmistress and she let me get a new room that nobody lives in. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Me: But, but, but..... PLEASE DON'T GO! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A.B.: Why? We don't even know each other, so what's it to you? Besides, you get to do whatever you want to this whole room now, since it's only yours. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And then she left. I was fuming. What a toffee nosed brat! How could she be so selfish! I was looking forward to sharing a room with another doll and becoming friends with her! AAAGH! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Anyway, Anabella probably thought she was popular or something. She was a JLY #27 with earrings and had on the AG Yoga Gear pants, Nicki's flowered print pink tanktop, and flip-flops. She had a valley-girl accent and acted like she was all that in a bag of potato chips. Hmmph to her! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Love, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Nellie&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5859318791666411857-6244694111022676110?l=samanthassisters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/feeds/6244694111022676110/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/06/hello.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/6244694111022676110'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/6244694111022676110'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/06/hello.html' title='Hello'/><author><name>Lucy Kenelly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16224715711717532023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SzIxVJyTWvI/AAAAAAAAAkU/qc7wDVrhSYA/S220/FILE0006.JPG'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859318791666411857.post-4335761522304820356</id><published>2009-06-27T20:27:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-27T20:28:50.882-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Website</title><content type='html'>It's almost bedtime.... will write tomorrow, but need to write one thing--we made a Wetpaint website!

She's really sweet and funny and smart. She has this cute little puppy! But, anyway, I'm not feeling well because of this: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We all went into the cafeteria when the dinner bell rang. We crowded through the doors, and when everyone had sat down at a table, I stood in the middle, looking around for my sisters. I couldn't find them, so I went to sit with Lindsey. Lindsey was sitting with Kailey, Marisol, Jess, Nicki (not our Nicki), Mia (not our Mia), Chrissa, Gwen, and Sonali. I plopped myself down next to Lindsey, and they didn't even notice me! I cleared my throat and coughed, hummed, sneezed, slurped my milk, laughed to myself, groaned, moaned, whimpered, and they still didn't look my way! I thought they were being me to me on purpose, since they were all GOTYs, and I was a HC, but then, back up in our room, I asked Lindsey why she ignored me, and she just laughed and said it was a joke, that they play it on every new girl that sits next to them. They always explain it to them after, though, and talk to them after and introduce them to people and stuff. So, it just made me feel dizzy and headachy, and I kinda felt like throwing up. I don't know why, but I suddenly ran to the bathroom, barfed in the sink 10 times, and came out looking AWFUL! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So, here I am, watching TV with Lindsey and blogging. Lights go out at 11, since it's summer, but all the girls still whisper to each other. I'm going to sleep now, though. Bye. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Love, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Samantha &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5859318791666411857-4962824411832639675?l=samanthassisters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/feeds/4962824411832639675/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/06/dinner-at-kimdale.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/4962824411832639675'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/4962824411832639675'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/06/dinner-at-kimdale.html' title='Dinner at Kimdale'/><author><name>Lucy Kenelly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16224715711717532023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SzIxVJyTWvI/AAAAAAAAAkU/qc7wDVrhSYA/S220/FILE0006.JPG'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859318791666411857.post-5681054394900084197</id><published>2009-06-19T12:54:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-19T13:39:34.066-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='First day at Kimdale'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Lizzie'/><title type='text'>Kimdale Arrival</title><content type='html'>We are here! 3 hours of driving! Well, here's what happened: &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We all got into the car at 9, and drove for 3 hours. We stopped at 11:30 to get some food, because Sam ate all the food I packed last night by accident. Then, we arrived at Kimdale. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We saw humongous black gates guarding the entrance. There were golden angel statues on each side of the gate, and 2 policemen were sitting in front of the gate. We checked in, and they said something into their walkie-talkies, and then pressed some buttons and opened up the gate. We drove through it, and the gates quickly shut behind us. There was a twisty road ahead of us, and trees and bushes were on both sides of the road. It was like driving through an enchanted forest. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We drove down the long, long, lone, twisty road for a while. Then, we came to a enormous building that was so big it looked like the Queen of England's palace! It had millions of windows, and huge doors in the front, and balconies on each of the 4 stories. There were marble steps leading up to the door, and a little pond at the side with lily pads in it. There were also trees, but not many. There was a huge green field surrounding the building. Bushes were on both sides of the school, also. Engraved in gold on the door was &lt;i&gt;Kimdale School for Young Ladies. &lt;/i&gt;It was so magnificent and beautiful, it took our breaths away. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We knocked on the door, and immediately someone answered. It was a nice looking young woman in a very nice skirt and jacket set. She had her hair pulled back in a bun, a dark beauty mark, pink lips, long eyelashes, and black eyes. She had on heels that &lt;i&gt;click-clacked &lt;/i&gt;every time she walked. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"Hello, there, young ladies!" She smiled warmly at us. "You must be the new American Girl dolls we were expecting today! Kirsten, Nellie, Nicki, Ruthie, Mia, Samantha, Molly, Rebecca, and a Mini Julie?" &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"Yes, ma'am, that's us," Samantha replied. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"Marvelous! Now, I am Ms. Perkinson, headmistress of this boarding school. I am so delighted to meet you all finally! Come in, come in, and let me show you your rooms. Oh, and Mini Julie can follow Miss Hatchcock, my best friend. Miss Hatchcock will take Mini Julie to the other building on campus for the mini dolls. Now, come along!" Ms. Perkinson said in her crisp, cheery voice. We all hugged and kissed M.J., and then followed Ms. P. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"Now, your rooms are on the 4th floor, the highest and most exciting. I hope you like your roommates! They are all very nice girls. Oh, and tomorrow will be your tour of the school, so set your alarms to 7 in the morning, and meet me in the auditorium by 8. The auditorium isn't hard to miss, it's on the ground floor, I'm sure you'll see me there. I'll be on my laptop, and the only other person in there at that time besides the custodian," Ms. P. told us. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ms. P. led us to room #12 first. She knocked on the door, and opened it. She told Kirsten that #12 was her room, and we all said goodbye to Kirsten. Then, Ms. P. told us to follow her to the next room, #13, and told Nellie that was her room. #14, Nicki. #15, Ruthie. #16, Mia. #17, Sam. #18, Molly, and #22, mine. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ms. P. knocked on #22, turned the knob, and opened the door. There, standing with her back to us, was Elizabeth Cole, except she was dressed in her Tea Lesson dress. She turned around, and flashed a sparkling white, toothy smile at Ms. P. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"Good evening, Ms. Perkinson. How are you today?" Elizabeth said. Ms. P. smiled and introduced me, and then left me. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"Hi, Rebecca! It's very nice to meet you! What a joy it is to have you be my roommate!" Elizabeth smiled at me. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"Yes, it's nice to meet you too! Umm, are you here with any other doll 'sisters', or just by yourself?" I asked her. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"Why, yes. I am with Molly McIntire, Jess McConnell, Felicity Merriman, Marisol Luna, and that's it," Elizabeth replied. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"Oh, I'm with Kirsten Larson, Nellie O'Malley, Nicki Fleming, Ruthie Smithens, Mia St. Clair, Samantha Parkington, Molly McIntire, Mini Julie Albright who is at the other building for Mini Dolls, and soon to be Iseult McCormick, who is JLY #30, and Murron Chisolm, who is JLY #23," I explained to her. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"Wow, you're so lucky to have so many sisters!" Elizabeth exclaimed. I smiled, and then set down my very heavy suitcase on the empty bed by the window. I started to unpack my bag when I noticed Elizabeth was hovering over me. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"Umm, Elizabeth--" I began, but she stopped me. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"Call me Lizzie! Oh, don't worry, I'll stop now." &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"Oh, thank you," &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I unpacked all my things and then put them in my closet. Then, Lizzie sat down on her bed and asked me if I liked the school so far. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"Yes, I do so far. How long have you been here?" I replied. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"About, hmmm... let's see.... 2 years, going on 3 in September," Lizzie told me. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"Wow, that's a long time. Do you like it here?" I asked her. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Lizzie shrugged. I took that as a sign she didn't want to talk about it, so I turned on the TV that was on our wall, and watched the Felicity AG movie. When it was over, I went on the computer and went to my blog. So, that was our very first day at Kimdale. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Shalom! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Rebecca&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5859318791666411857-5681054394900084197?l=samanthassisters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/feeds/5681054394900084197/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/06/kimdale-arrival.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/5681054394900084197'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/5681054394900084197'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/06/kimdale-arrival.html' title='Kimdale Arrival'/><author><name>Lucy Kenelly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16224715711717532023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SzIxVJyTWvI/AAAAAAAAAkU/qc7wDVrhSYA/S220/FILE0006.JPG'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859318791666411857.post-4733201312569224786</id><published>2009-06-18T16:16:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-18T16:19:54.762-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Our goals for Kimdale</title><content type='html'>Rebecca: Make friends with my room mate. &lt;div&gt;Molly: See if an Emily is there! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Samantha: See if they have a sewing club. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Mia: Join the figure skating team. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ruthie: See if Kit's there! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Nicki: Sign up for Junior Vets' Club &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Nellie: Meet other Irish girls. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Kirsten: Meet other Swedish girls. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Mini Julie: Meet other Mini Dolls! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5859318791666411857-4733201312569224786?l=samanthassisters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/feeds/4733201312569224786/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/06/our-goals-for-kimdale.html#comment-form' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/4733201312569224786'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/4733201312569224786'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/06/our-goals-for-kimdale.html' title='Our goals for Kimdale'/><author><name>Lucy Kenelly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16224715711717532023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SzIxVJyTWvI/AAAAAAAAAkU/qc7wDVrhSYA/S220/FILE0006.JPG'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859318791666411857.post-6806187274341888474</id><published>2009-06-18T13:54:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-18T13:56:13.177-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='contest'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='last contest EVER'/><title type='text'>PEOPLE!</title><content type='html'>Since nobody commented on this week's winners' post, I am afraid to say no one won the very last Mystery Writer Contest.

We are leaving at 9 in the morning, so we are waking up at 7, packing up at 8, and leaving at 9. All 9 of us (including M.J.) will be crammed in this little truck for 3-4 hours! But, I can't wait to see my dorm-room! I wonder who I'll be sharing it with. Maybe a JLY, or GOTY, or HC (Historical Character).

The headmistress or Kimdale said that pets are allowed at Kimdale, so Coconut and Sprocket are coming also. When Nicki found out we were going to Kimdale, she immediately asked if pets were allowed (she and Sprocket are inseperable), and when we said we didn't know, that most boarding schools don't allow pets, she burst out into tears. She cried and cried, and then we ran to the computer, went to Kimdale's official website, and found out pets are allowed. When we told that to Nicki (she was crying into Sprocket's fur) started kissing him all over and speaking to him in baby voices. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But, anyway, I am not really excited about Kimdale. I mean, it sounds like a grand adventure, but when I found out we were going there, my stomach did a &lt;i&gt;flip-flop&lt;/i&gt; and I felt like I was going to throw up, partly from excitement and partly from nervousness. I don't know what to do! There will be so many other dolls there, and each of us pioneerfan04 dolls will be in different dorm with different dolls we don't know. Ohhhhh! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Samantha&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5859318791666411857-1834913795452357117?l=samanthassisters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/feeds/1834913795452357117/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/06/packing-packing-packing.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/1834913795452357117'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/1834913795452357117'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/06/packing-packing-packing.html' title='Packing, packing, packing.'/><author><name>Lucy Kenelly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16224715711717532023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SzIxVJyTWvI/AAAAAAAAAkU/qc7wDVrhSYA/S220/FILE0006.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859318791666411857.post-4989152613128274622</id><published>2009-06-17T12:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-17T12:58:15.023-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='JLY #30'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Iseult McCormick'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='boarding school'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Achazia Janina Milgrom'/><title type='text'>Iseult McCormick and Big News</title><content type='html'>Hi y'all! Sorry for not posting yesterday, we were busy! Anyway, Pioneer thinks that JLY #30 won't be named Achazia Janina Milgrom anymore, but here's the catch: JLY #30 writes plays for the school, and she also acts as the main character, and she always writes plays about a Jewish girl from Europe named Achazia Janina Milgrom! Yup. So, since JLY #30 isn't named that name anymore, Pioneer is thinking of naming her a name she has always loved: Iseult. Yes, Iseult. Her nickname is Izzet. Iseult is an Irish name, and Pioneer is Irish. Iseult was an ancient princess in Ireland who was betrothed to the King of England, and the King sent over his nephew to ride over on the boat with the princess, and the nephew (whose name was Tristan) and Iseult drank out of the same golden goblet, and fell in love, and the King found out, which led to their tragic deaths. It's a sad story, but it's one of Pioneer's favorite Irish legends. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Anyway, so JLY #30 is Irish, and she comes straight from Ireland with a nice, thick Irish accent. She does not have a passion for acting, but a passion for writing! She hasn't arrived here yet (Pioneer hasn't even bought her yet!), but we hopefully will get her this July. Oh, and her last name is McCormick. I can't wait to meet her! She looks Irish also. She sounds so interesting! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Oh, and I forgot to mention the big news. It is very, very big. I have to take a few minutes to let it out. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Okay, here it is: on June 19, all 8 of us dolls are going to.......... a.......... boarding school called Kimdale School for Young Ladies. I am so excited! I really am! It will be so much fun to post from there! We just found out &lt;i&gt;today&lt;/i&gt;! I know! It's so exciting! When we do, and if we do, get Iseult McCormick will be transferred there after she arrives! I am very excited! I can't wait! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Shalom! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Rebecca  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5859318791666411857-4989152613128274622?l=samanthassisters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/feeds/4989152613128274622/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/06/iseult-mccormick-and-big-news.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/4989152613128274622'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5859318791666411857/posts/default/4989152613128274622'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://samanthassisters.blogspot.com/2009/06/iseult-mccormick-and-big-news.html' title='Iseult McCormick and Big News'/><author><name>Lucy Kenelly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16224715711717532023</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nzX3_4xkETI/SzIxVJyTWvI/AAAAAAAAAkU/qc7wDVrhSYA/S220/FILE0006.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859318791666411857.post-3223833131403490062</id><published>2009-06-15T16:27:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-15T16:28:12.507-07:00</updated><title type='text'>About the voting....</title><content type='html'>Please tell us who you voted for by commenting on this post!
