Miraculous Mom!

Well, to me, moms are pretty awesome! lol Especially when they insist that I don't get them a Mother's Day gift! HAHAHA (just kidding, I tried to get her one but I didn't get to go to the store.. so...)

My mom is awesome! She always wants me to do what God would want me to, she always encourages me in my hobbies, she always pays for my hobbies, she always tells me she loves me, she always takes care of me when I'm sick, she always prays for me, she always talks to me when I need to talk...

She also seems to be able to clean my room faster than me  Sorry about that.. lol that was supposed to read "She also seems to be able to clean my room".......................... Yup, she's miraculous! LOL

Soo... that being said, I think my mom is pretty awesome! She didn't get a Mother's Day gift, so I thought I would post this just to let all my friends (and any random readers) know how awesome my mom is! :D I love her!

Love,
Ruth

Homeschool Ball Part 3 (Stories)

So... I have given you picture posts :D Now you shall have some stories... I don't have many but I will try to describe how fun the dance was and how I enjoyed seeing my friends. So I think that summed it up pretty good eh? LOL

But of course, I could never bring myself to write such a SHORT post! :D (I'm sure everyone has noticed how I like to gab ;) )

So... We arrived at the building about thirty minutes early. My mom, not being dressed up or feeling like partaking in the activities, volunteered to help in the kitchen and serving (GREAT MOM! LOL she enjoyed every minute of it!) Meanwhile, I went to the ladies' room to freshen up some *ahem*

After chatting with some random people in the ladies' room... I was ferociously set upon by four very lovely girls... Theresa, Bascha, Anne Marie, and Caroline! lol After subduing me, they immediately dragged me outside to take pictures (after forcing me into a pair of pink leggings which were cut off above the knee)

So out into the cruel elements I was dragged (Temperature was an icy 66 degrees farenheit and there was a harsh wind...) *chuckling* most of the pictures we took have been posted so.. this will probably be a no pictures post! :D The four violent ladies forced me up onto a dangerous scattering of rocks and pebbles that were a part of our crude surroundings...

A PICTURE! lol

Notice the nervous smile they forced upon me *hehehe* After having several single shots (I believe they wanted to keep photo records of me on file ROFL) I was "persuaded" to participate in group shots...

The leggings which had been forced upon me by my vicious attackers (chuckle) Attackers and myself from left to right.. Me, Anne Marie, Bascha, Theresa, and Caroline! 

The pictures were soon taken... including some of the boys, I was taken back within the stronghold (rofl) (by the way, Bascha, I need the pictures your mom took of us with the boys)

We returned to the innermost parts of the gloomy castle...

As you can see the light was ridiculously lacking...

There I was forced to dance with various members of my attackers... I believe the first dance was danced with a fellow prisoner actually... Ah yes, my sister Chrissy

Before our surprising capture hehehe

After which I was forced to dance with one of my attackers' brothers... The right honourable Abraham Jacques... He came up and asked politely enough.. but his sister must have decided I would have said "no" judging by the narrow looks she gave  from his shoulder...

I don't think Bascha was anywhere near... but anyhow

So the dance was enjoyed.. We swung VERY fast around and around so that was funny :D (and I got my foot stepped on.. I always thought that wasn't "for real" about boys stepping on girls' toes..)

Next I believe I danced with four strangers and my captor that went by the alias of Theresa. She was dressed in a fine silk (I think it was a polyester replica actually) gown...

Notice the interesting mink stole... 

The dance was very interesting as we had to do several moves with a little girl which added to the difficulty of the formations... but quick glances from my captors kept my complaints within my own self (ROFL)

After this dance, I hurriedly asked someone for the next dance before my captors could compel me to dance with someone of their own choosing... I actually do not have a picture of my random dance partner... all I know of him was his name was Jason.. and he knew where my hometown was! ROFL That dance was very fun as we both were having a hard time figuring how to do the formations.

I remember very little of the rest of the party. I must have been far too tired! But here is a picture of the last dance.. which I danced with a new friend of mine Sarah :)

Did I forget to mention that my wide feet broke my pumps?? and that I had to remove my shoes! Which ended up for the better.. this happens to be me and Sarah.

The X formation from above :)

Overall it was one of the most fun nights of my life! I really enjoyed hanging out with people I knew and meeting new people! Everyone was really fun and sociable!

And by the way... the above story was highly dramatized not to mention fictionalized and extremely made up! Other than the actual facts (People I danced with order of things and what we did) it is like.. so unrealistic! lol I had tons of fun doing everything the girls asked me! :D I love you girls! ♥♥♥

Love,
Ruth

Little Additions

Soo... since I last wrote.. I have been... bottlefeeding three little babies four times a day, feeding a horse twice a day, doing school, going to youth group, hanging with my best friend.. LOL very busy! :D

So.. the babies are little goat babies :D we have... seven doelings and a buckling! :D

Serenade and Valentine Sonnet are both out of our doe Melody and our buck Buster :D Serenade is brown with black markings and Valentine is grey with white spots and black markings :)

Heavenly Hash and Rocky Road, named after the ice creams due to their coloring... are out of our doe Fifi and our buck Buster :) They are actually the oldest pair :)

Cocoa and Cappuccino are both grey with black markings :) (Did I forget to mention that every kid has white ears except Cocoa) These two are out of Trixie and Buster.

Then we have our last pair.. Midnight the buckling and Galaxy the doeling.. out of our doe Polly and our buck Buster. Both of these are black, but Galaxy has white specklings all in her. She's pretty but her brother is even prettier! He is oily black with white ears and muzzle and the tiniest bit of white on his stomach :) They are the youngest.

So... the ones I feed are our new buckling we bought (Tuscon Kid) and Serenade and Valentine :) They are very pushy and fry the life out of me sometimes! But I still love them :)

So that's like all other than I now have my heels for the dance! (No pics until the ball! :P) lol But they look gorgeous! LOL I love them! (The only reason there are no pictures.. is because I don't have time to take them, sorry!)

Love!

Ruth

Dress!

So... as promised, pictures of me in my new dress! I made a few slight changes, but nothing very drastic. :) I was having trouble with my neckline so the bodice is barely modified.

Front... sorry about the bad lighting... its still coming up orange!

First time I ever used a zipper!

Side view... I think I have a better shot.....

There we go!

Nice full skirt :)

Well it"s late... so this is all! Maybe when its warm this weekend, I can post some pics of the REAL colour! lol

Love,

Ruth

Fiftie's Prom Dress

Soooo... after much hard labor and no little sweat... I have made my dress! :D all that is left to do, is to add tighter straps underneath the tulle straps to ensure it stays in place ;) and tack the tulle down right at the edge of the zipper to hide it :) Right now is just a sneak peek... when I get it totally finished, you will see pictures of me in it!

By the way, my camera is lying... the dress is pink, NOT orange! lol well its not really pink pink, but its more of a red than a yellow, shall we say? lol

All told, I would say the dress, if I had worked on it without stop, took me..... 8 hours? I really am not sure, but it was a fast project. You think not, but that's because I didn't work on it for very long at a time! So I am totally excited for the ball! I can't wait (IT'S NEXT MONTH!) lol

I will post more pics of it soon!

Love,

Ruth
