Last month as our family vacation we went to New York City. oh the glamour!!! it was a blast! we saw tons of plays and musicals, we took the subway every where! on the day we went to the Statue of Liberty there was a wicked wind blowing across the ocean as we sailed over to Liberty Island on the fairy. my sister had her camera out and we had fun with it! posing, pretending to fly away or be blown away! We will defiantly go back to gusty NY for some more fun!

GGGAH!!

i was washing the dishes this morning and my sister had just finished vacuuming the couch. she packed up the hand held vacuum to put it up on the shelf where it belongs but as she lifted it up some sand that got stuck in the box poured out of a crack into her eyes. i hear "GGGAHH!" from the laundry room and then a grunt, some yells, the thumping of stuff falling then my sis comes running out to the open back door and with an angry scream she violently hurls a box of trash bags into the yard. she stands there breathing hard then goes out and retrieves it. oh, my charming sister.

1 step too far

after our youth group finished up we were all hanging out in front of the building waiting for rides and parents to pick us up. the conversation started with me telling everyone about me and my sister sticking headphones up our nose and opening our mouths (this really dose work). then everyone started telling about what people could do with odd things that they somehow put in their bodies. "i know someone who can partly swallow a noodle and then pull it out their nose!" in sarcasm someone said "i can eat a noodle" then my loverly sister says "and pull it out the other end!" cheesy smile, grossed out screams and a laughter is what followed.

BATMAN justiccimo

On sunday my sister went to help a friend film a music video for a talent show. It was an opening song to an Italian Batman TV show. Today we were wondering how to spell the Italian word for justice which is Justicimo. we didn't know that so my sister said "justicee- mo alaah bametoa mala!" well now we know what language she is NOT bilingual in.

Louis!!!

My sister was on the computer with a friend choosing a graduation invitation. She had to email a picture to the friend and while waiting for it to send a Louie Armstrong song started playing. My sister seemed to switch her voice from her mouth to her throat and started singing in voice not unlike a horse muppet. She spontaneously would sing a line of Louis every few minuets and then keep doing whatever she was doing before. Finally she started singing and then coughed and choked a little. Smiling sheepishly she stopped singing.

the bright future

on sunday after church my family, my sisters boyfriend and some friends of my parents went to lunch. while the parents were busy discussing media and politics us teens were daydreaming and planning our future retro diner in Oregon. After planning the inside of it we thought then we could have our art studios in a retrofitted barn in the back (talking about it made it sound a lot cooler then writing it down) and we'd park my seaplane and sail bout outside as well. Then my sister, being her, had an idea: we must dig a canal that goes through the diner and kayak to work everyday. oh wait no we should, like, get a mini-submarine with the little seeing thing! So it kept going and we laughed but then it reached the point where now Ayla will be riding an organ,the musical kind, pulled by dolphins through the canal to work everyday. Like King Triton!!!

Ayla turns to me wide eyed with enthusiasm "you know what feels like boggers?"
