Fall, School, and Swmming.


So our pool is not yet open, but it is starting to look really nice. Today we had our first practice and it was held at the close by High school. I will post a picture of the pool once everything is completed.

It is true, College only gets tougher by the year. That is we get more and more readings and essays. My classes are very interesting therefore i cant complain.

For the past week I was finding these two cat beanie baby dolls in different places throughout my room, such as under my bed, under my covers, and behind my pillows. Eventually ieven found them downstairs on the couch. Well i finally figured out that it is Majken who has found two little friends. I caught her carrying one around and later found her playing with it. Her favorite one is even really dirty from her playing with it so much.



Majken also really enjoyes playing with any form of bags and boxes:



Sisterly love, Kajsa is saying "She stared it!!!"




Love,
Elin

School, but not...

So classes have yet to begin, and today was a total relaxation day for me. I played with the cats and crafted. I even got some sketching in!
I have been trying to make things for the house lately and so far I have made these little things:



This is something I made to keep my necklaces from getting tangled. All I did was to take a piece of wood, paint it, drill holes, and then take different fun doorknobs and put them in the holes. It was a fun and easy project that i thought of a few weeks ago.



This is something i got from my mom, and all i did was to paint, decorate, and then put it together. The letters are glittery, I actually got them at Walmart for like 7 dollars, a big pack of them! i would like to add something to it but I dont know what yet.


I also made a round card for my youngest sisters. I got them cute little shirts and wanted to send a card with it.

Majken and Kajsa are causing trouble, so I have to go downstairs and see what they are up to!

Love,
Elin

Long time, little writing

School starts on Thursday, and today i spent the whole day greeting the incoming freshman. Its nice to get more people on the team. The girls team pretty much doubled in size.

The other day I was at home and the kittens ( I am taking care of Kajsa, mommy's cat) were running around the house. And all of a sudden I turn around and find Kajsa sitting on the top of my doorway into the kitchen. We have like a wide molding on the top, and there she was, just hanging out. I did take a picture but its on my phone so i have not been able to get it uploaded. Anyways, this little cat is not as innocent as i first though :) Majken may play and get tangled in everything, but Kajsa jumps up on everything!


Little Majken


...and Kajsa

They both really like the screened in porch, so I try to get them out there as much as possible.
