Yes, I’m a Home-schooler, can you relate?

Sorry it took me SO long to post!
I haven't had much to post except my Easter dress, but I couldn't get anyone to take a picture for the short time I was wearing it. But next time I put it on I'll have SOMEONE take a picture.

But now to the point of this post, this is something I wrote yesterday,

Yes, I'm a Home-schooler, can you relate?
NOTE: This does NOT apply to all Home-schoolers

If people ask me who/what my favorite star is, I'm tempted to say Betelgeuse (pronounced beetle juice), and if they ask who that is I'd say, "It's only 1,000x bigger than our sun!!!"

My family and I randomly burst into song

I learned how to PROPERLY hold a pencil when I was 6

My favorite movies are old ones or musicals

My sister and I often quote lines off of old movies

I know that our hair and nails are made of the same substance

When I grow up I want to be a member of the NRA

If you ask a public-schooler what they like to do, most will say, (usually very dully) "Play video games." But don't ask me, it might take me an hour to explain my interests

While most teens could tell you what's new with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, I could tell you what's new in politics and all about the swine flu

While most teens haven't even changed a diaper, I probably know more about babies than our pregnant neighbor

While others shop at Nordstrom's, I think any shirt over $5 is expensive

While others fall asleep in a warm bath, I wait in line for a cold shower

While other teens may shy away from a conversation with an adult, I can look an adult in the eyes and talk with them for hours

While other young people are thinking about going to college to get a degree and then try to get a job, I'm planning to grow up and get a full time job NO amount of training can prepare you for; being a wife and a mother.

Guns (and yes, you read that right)

Guns

Some guns are weapons, some are toys
Some bring fear, some bring joys

Some people only regard guns with fears
Because in their life guns have only brought tears

But what some people don’t realize is that
Guns aren’t always bad no matter what shape or size

Guns come in many different types
Taser, air soft, rifle, and snipes

Some shoot paint or plastic or don’t shoot at all
But some, like a cannon, shoot things the size of a bowling ball

In the right hands guns help small and great
And protect from horrible fate

Guns provide a way to self protect the things you hold dear
And if someone tried to hurt you you’d be safer with your own gun near

But the point of this poem is I want you to know
Guns keep you safer where ever you go

And now that I’ve said what I want to say
Mom, may I become a member of the NRA?

Sash's dress and pinafore

Here's my sister Sasha's dress that I promised I'd post...

If you click on it then you might be able to see the tucks on the front of the pinafore.

P.S. I also made the cap.

Howdy!

Hi, my name's Ashley! Remember me? I'm the person that used to post on this blog ;-) !!! Well after a LONG break I'm back at it! Ready to hear what I've been up to?



Well..... A lot, but not much of extreme importance,

in other words I've been helping out around the house, watching our CUTE foster babies, sewing Sasha a dress and pinafore (I'll add pictures later), trying to figure out Algebla (spelling intended), and over all, just being busy!

Not to mention watching the Stealers at the Super Bowl barely win by making a home run in the last minute yesterday, didn't know I watched that stuff did you!? (I was knitting while watching it, multi tasking. :-)


If your still trying to figure out the "home run" part, I sit here chuckling

If you didn't even notice that part you either know me very well, or are clueless, if the latter, I am cracking up!

Spinning!

For those of you who don't know, I also spin. These pictures where taken at Alpaca Days where I was giving a demonstration.

P.S. Thanks Mrs. H for the pics

Voila!

This is a short gown (I think), I finished it yesterday.
