shinelumiere | I've been told I haven't updated my journal recently

I was told this in a sense of "posting something the person who was pointing this out hasn't already heard about" cause said person had already heard about my sims thing, in my last post...anyway

loot shot, cause I can, and I got side tracked and forgot to do it before the new year.

the big purple blob of fabric is my new coat...and other than that everything should be clearly visible, if not, feel free to ask.

and I almost forgot my Bunny Art for the year

my niece, Piper, she "borrows" her mothers DS whenever she gets the chance, this was just cause it was cute how focused she was, even though she dies about every 5 minutes, or less.

shortly after the picture of her playing the DS, she was using the same can that she had her feet on as a stool, and fell off it and hit her head, thus the bruise at her hairline.

this is the garden thingy that my father got for his birthday, it's just cool. speed growing. and it makes whatever room it's set up in seem like the sun is up, no matter what time of day it actually is. but then, the light bulbs are called grow bulbs.

we had a party...sometime in between Christmas and new years, just a come over and eat our food type of thing, so that our aunts and uncles could spend time with my eldest brother before he and his family had to go back home.

but looking at this, it may as well have been a guitar hero party.

ah Stella. she's mastered the art of standing up and holding on to things, and walking around them. she's very much trying to skip the crawl stage and go strait to walking.

the doo rag look...

this, this is here cause this afternoon, I laid Stella on my bed for her nap, and then surrounded her with the pillows, she was very much flat on the bed, between the pillows. I went about doing other things, not in my room, her mother, her other aunt that lives here with us, and Piper, were all in the room right next mine. between the time I laid her down, to the time I came back to check on her, she woke up, tried to crawl off the bed or find someone, and decided it was too much work and said to herself, I'll just go back to sleep right here.

what gets us is that none of the three women in the next room ever heard her do that. this does not bode well for future naps, as she seems to actually sleep more than 15 minutes when laying...more or less not in her crib.

oh, and this shot?

I know my brothers look alike, I hear it all the time. but it still gets me when I see a photo of the three of them together like this.

the plaid shirt thing..our grandmother got the idea in her head to do that for Christmas. the one that was originally mine was plaid, but none of my clothing fit this year, and since most of my clothing has to be ordered, it takes a while to exchange it. it'd have been cool if mine had fit though, but oh well.
