L'Anniversaire de Lucie :) (or Lucie has a birthday)

Hi Everybody,
This is Lucie and I am guest blogging again about my birthday that was on Halloween.  For the first time ever  I had a Halloween themed birthday party, sort of.

My brother and my sister sent me a present.

My maman sent me a present too.

These are rainbow loom bracelets, colored elastics woven together on a loom.  These were made by my friends back at home in France and sent to me for my birthday.

Sophia and Emma gave me an ugli doll icebat.

The food was delicious :)

I'm making a wish.

Birthday outfit.

The house pumpkin.

Any names that you don't recognize are friends and family back home.  

That's it for now.   A la prochaine, see you next time.

 Lucie. :)

Introducing Lucie

Bonjour Tout le monde or Hi Everybody,
Je m'appelle Lucie:)  J'ai 11 ans (presque 12 ans).  My name is Lucie and I am 11 years old, almost 12 actually.  Here are some things you should know about me:
I come from Aix-en-Provence in the south of France.  I have 1 brother and 1 sister.  I am dyslexic (look it up if you don't know what that means).   I am very active, I like to do a lot of different activities like circus and dance and gymnastics, to name a few.  I do all these things because I have a lot of energy:)

Here is what I look like, me voici:

I'm not from Paris but my dad lives there:)

This is more my style of clothing:

At the Halifax Oval, getting my rollerblades and gear on.

On the Oval itself, had a great time this morning doing this.


That's it for now.  A tout a l'heure, see you later.
Lucie :)

New photos

Hi Everybody,
This is Sophia.  Yes Emma and I are still alive :)Here is a photo of me and some photos of the new girl's room.  If you follow us on instagram you will know what I mean.  There's a link at the bottom of the post if you want to check it out.

enjoying some nice weather.

Here is the first half of the new girl's room.  She loves purple.  She is another foreign student can you guess where Lucie is from?

Here is the other half of her room.

That's it for now.  If you want to see what photos we have on instagram, here is the link.http://instagram.com/hfxgirltoo#

Yes we jumped on the instagram bandwagon.  It is actually really fun and easy to use.  We can see why sometimes people use it more than blogging.

Summer Photos :)

Hi Everybody,
This is Amaya and Yoko.  Here are a collection of photos from this past summer that we have been meaning to share with you.  Check out our guardian's youtube channel later today for an awesome photo shoot of us too :)  We'll put a link at the end of this post.

Climbing a tree in Dartmouth with my friend icebat (Amaya).  The next two photos are from the same photo shoot

Yoko decided to curl her hair.  She looks kind of like an alien with those curlers in.  The next photos are how her curls turned out.

and here's the back view.

here we are together, please excuse Amaya's pyjamas, she just got up and didn't feel like getting dressed yet.

Yoko is helping me, I decided to take up dance again (Amaya).  Dance classes have started up again now that september has arrived.

Rosh Hashanah 2013 (5774)

Hi Everybody,
This is Becca guest posting.  Shana tova umetukah.  Which means in Hebrew:  may you all have a good and sweet new year.  In case you were confused, today was Jewish New year (rosh hashanah).  Jewish holidays start at sundown of the previous day.  One of the traditions is to dip apple into honey and eat that for a sweet upcoming year.  The Jewish year that is starting is the year: 5774

We also usually make a honey cake :)  Here I am next to the cake, i didn't know that my hair could go in a pony tail!!!   Sorry about the bonus human legs in the background, at least the dog isn't in the photo.  Sorry the picture quality isn't the greatest, it was dark.

apples and honey and my piece of honey cake yum.


That's it for now.

Picnic at Point Pleasant Park

Hi Everybody,
This is Sophia and Emma (for once and not guest posters!!!!)
A little while ago we went by bicycle on a picnic at Point Pleasant Park with our mom and her mom and dad.

eating :)

This photo and the next couple are of really old graffiti, carved into the rock by soldiers who were stationed here at Fort Ogilvie.

 

climbing!!!!

 We reached the top :)

These steps are huge, but we're not giving up.

Chilling on a canon.

There were really interesting shapes in the clouds.

I also wanted to mention that Doll Diaries is having a HUGE giveaway.  They're giving away the entire mix and match collection including the accessories and the new school backpack, so head on over there and enter!!!  As far as we can tell, this is open to those living outside the US too.  http://dolldiaries.com/american-girl-back-to-school-wardrobe-giveaway/

Sophia and Emma :) :)
p.s. Sorry about the quality of the photos in this blog post, somebody forgot to put the battery back in their canon camera and we had to make do with an ipod touch 4 instead.

Been to NYC? No :(

Hi Everybody,
This is Amaya and Yoko again.
Here are some photos that we had not yet shared with you.  We'll explain about the New York part after that.

  

Our guardian's brother and his wife went to NYC and they actually went to the AG store and got us these shirts :)

Yoko worried about me . 

I convinced her that she should climb up and join me :)

I also climbed the fence but yoko said she was NOT coming up and that it was a bad idea in general.

Soccer in the back yard!!!! 

A pretty photo of Yoko.
