Me: You ate the whole tub! In one night!

Lisa: Well, when you said I could watch a movie and have ice cream,

A Busy Morning

Today we had to get up early to go and help my grandmother do some gardening.

Lisa here surprised me by rising early and getting dressed.

Lisa: Can I come to, please!

Me: Oh, alright then. But you have to promise the behave.

Lisa: Oh yes, I promise!

Lisa: Why aren't we taking the car?

Me: Because Dad wants to test the motorhome, it just got registered.

Lisa: Registered with what?

Me: Never mind.

Lisa: I can't see!

Me: Need some help?

Lisa: Yes please.

Me: Ok.

Me: Up you go.

Lisa: Yay!

Lisa: Wow, we're so high!

Lisa: I can see a car coming!

We arrived at our grandmother's house and began planting.

We planted the bigger plants.......

......while Lisa planted a small flower.

What better to cool you down on a hot day than

good old H2O!

Lisa also made friends with a fairy, and chattered with her

while we finished up the garden.

Soon after, it was time to leave.

Lisa was tired and so she had a lay down on my hat.

The smell of food quickly roused her.

Lisa: Oh yummy!!

Me: No, not for you! That's far too much pie for one little doll.

Once home, Lisa flopped down onto her lounge.

Lisa: Whew, I'm so tired.

Me: Well before you do anything else in those dirty clothes,

why don't you have a bath and get changed.

Lisa: Alright.

Lisa: Will these clothes do?

Me: Yep.

Lisa: Shoes off.......

.................

Lisa: Aaaahhhh.

Me: *chuckles*

What a great way to end a busy morning.

Hope you enjoyed reading!

I just had to post this!

Ok, so I just went to see some really close friends today, that I haven't seen in ages! They have horses, and for those of you who don't already know I love horses and really enjoy riding them! I have had lessons but haven't ridden for a few months.

So today when I arrived one of the girls was already out waiting at the gate on her sister's 13.3hh skewbald mare. She followed  us to the house and she immediately asked if I wanted to ride! I said yes and we went to find me a helmet and catch her horse, a 14.2hh skewbald gelding, for me to ride. We caught him and I hopped on. Oh, and did I mention we were both bareback?

Now for some people, including my friend, riding bareback is not a big deal. For me however it is way out of my comfort zone. I've only ever ridden bareback at a walk and slow trot and always in a small pen. Now here I was in a massive paddock on a big horse with no saddle! I said to myself, " Well, what's the worst that can happen? Me fall off, that's what!" I guess that's inevitable if you want to ride horses. So I just rolled with it.

My friend led the way across the paddock towards the driveway and the front gate. We arrived at the bottom of a hill, and at the top was the gate.We stopped.
My friend said, " Let's race to the top!"

I was nervous, but agreed. We lined up our horses and as I grabbed my mount's thick black and white mane my friend shouted," Go!"

I kicked my horse and he shot after my friend's mare, cantering up the hill. At first I was horrified, I thought I would fall, and as my gelding gained on the mare in front he got so close I thought she'd kick out! Gritting my teeth I let go of the mane with one hand and steered him to the side to overtake my friend. As I overtook her she let out a start of surprise.

We reached the top and I halted my horse. My heart was pounding. My friend informed me that in fact, my horse had been going at quite a slow canter. It certainly didn't feel like that to me. I felt like I was galloping up that hill! :) I had cantered on other horses before, but never bareback.

So that was the highlight of my day, sorry for rambling but I just had to post this. XD
Unfortunately I didn't get photos or video, but the experience is imprinted on my mind. :)

Hope you enjoyed reading!

The Next One

Here is another video of some of my first schleich photos.

I hope to put up a more interesting post very soon, but for now I hope you enjoy.

Rosie

From the Beginning

For a while now I've been taking pics of my schleich horses in realistic settings. I would then put them together into videos. You've already seen my very first one in an older post titled Schleich Video.

Well know I'm going to show the one after that. Remember that this one was still made quite a while ago, but I think it's best to start from the beginning. So here it is, hope you enjoy!

My Baby Girl!!

My baby girl has arrived!!

She was born on the 2nd of July 2013,

weighing 4 pounds 9 ounces,

at 19 inches long.

Oh, and did I mention........

.......she's a doll!

This is my darling little Emmaline Grace!

She is a Reborn Baby Doll.

They are made to look and feel as realistic as possible.

You need to support her head like a real baby.

Once you pick her up, you just can't put her down,

and you expect her to move at any moment.

She is insanely cute...

....just look at those dimples!

She came with a few outfits and accessories,

including this lovely little charm bracelet.

Her little hands and feet are so real!

Here she is holding the teddy she came with.

Her hair is micro rooted and extremely fine and soft.

She looks......

...and feels just like the real thing!

I love Emmaline so much!

Thanks for reading!

Rosie
