Showtime, Sunshine

First, I have to share my new favorite song. enjoy, and then go buy this whole album, because it's all really good, and he's awesome:
Sigh. Ok, read on. I'm just gonna cry for a minute.


Jayne and I are really happy because we just got the new Sims 3 Showtime expansion pack, and I will say that it's a ton of fun. We can have singers, acrobats, magicians, DJs, and just lot's of funness. In fact, this morning we made the Jones family: Jackson is a magician, Tim is an acrobat, and their daughter Danielle is going to be a singer when she's older.
Like I said, funness.

One of the problems with playing so much, is that you miss out on life. And March in my backyard happens to be one of my favorite parts of life. So I thought I would show you some lovely spring pictures taken on my trusty digital camera :) (The very one that my dear friend Edison hates ever so much).

Plus, I really wanted to try out the macro setting on the camera to see if I could get it to work properly, and springtime is great for that, because there's so many tiny little things.

rose leaves.


We have a ton of fruit trees in our yard, and this plum tree is the first on to blossom, pretty much every year :)



I love the blurred blossoms behind this one.

If you're wondering how tiny this is...

That's my thumb next to it.


I really love this one, you can see every little "hair" on the leaves


"Mommy, when I grow up, I'm gonna be a plum tree, just like you!"



Whenever I take pictures like these, I feel like a nature photographer, and I'm especially proud of this 
batch!

15-15: Today

In fifteen days, I will be fifteen years old. This is awesome.

So I've decided to do a countdown, and share something special every day until my birthday. 
Here you go,  #15 in the 15-15 countdown:


One of my best friends in the world and I started a band once, when we were 12 and 13. It was called Forever Odd, and our first album would be called The View From My Umbrella.  Here's the lyrics for the first song we made:

Today
by Forever Odd...
Do, do, do, do
What are we 
Gonna do today
The sky is rainy
The clouds are grey
Nothing to do
Nothing to play
Do, do, do, do
What are we 
Gonna do today
We can’t stay in
We can’t go out
There’s just no way
Nothing to do
Nothing to say
Do, do, do, do
What are we 
Gonna do today



Maybe it's not Grammy worthy, and it's definitely not finished, but we were so proud when we recorded it into Jette's sister's laptop, and even happier when she told us it was great.
