New Years

Hi,
It's now almost new year's day!! I can always find something to countdown to!! :D My Grandma's coming in February and our friends are coming in January!! I'm SO excited! Etoile is GREAT! It took me 20 minutes trying to get on her bareback today! :) the joys of horse riding.
Ella has just organized the movies in alphabetical order and ratted out audrey for putting Narnia next to Lilo and Stitch.
Well I am going to watch Murder, she wrote!

IT'S CHRISTMAS!!!!!

IT'S CHRISTMAS!!! lol I LOVE Christmas! But now I'm sad cause it's over. No more chocolate or christmas carols and no more christmas tree. It also means break is sorta almost over :(( The good thing is my aunt and uncle send 3 (yes 3!!!) packages that will probably come tomorrow! YAY
Anywhoo, Kiki( Kendra's nickname that I'm calling her against her will...I'm evil) Mom and Audy are putting together a puzzle and Ella is listening to her MP3 and I am contemplating what to do with my money... jodhpurs.... saddle blanket... jodhpurs.... saddle blanket. I'm SUPER happy with my gifts!

MERRY CHRISTMAS (this is the last time I'll get to say that :( )

CHRISTMAS EVE!!!

It's Christmas Eve!!!! I waited all year for this! Today I'm going to the stable (does that surprise you?) with my friend and her big sister. We are going to groom Etoile and walk her around! Oh yea the owner said I could walk her (with me on her) while she grazes. So yesterday I was walking around the ring (when she gets warmed up likes to run) mind you I was bareback and she took off. I was like "what in blue blazes do you think you're doing Etoile?" After I said that she sorta slowed down and stopped then I went out the gate to let her graze. Mistake number 1. As most of you probably know when you eat it gives you energy same thing with horses. So I let her graze for like 30 minutes and then I ride her back to the pasture. Mistake number 2. So now she's warmed up and has lots of energy. Oh Boy. Now she starts walking to the pasture "tout tranquille" as the french say. Then whoosh. We were suddenly at the field with all of her buddies waiting for her.
Well there's a recap of "Maddie and the energized,warmed up horse" story.
See ya
Merry christmas, Joyeux Noel, Buon Natale, Feliz Navidad, Hyvää joulua (No idea how to pronouce that)
Anywhoo,
Maddie

Christmas Tree

We set up our Christmas tree!!!!!! I'm soooooo excited! Did you know that my older sister has like 27 baby's first Christmas ornaments??? It's crazy! I can't wait till Christmas!! Only 20 days! hehehehe By the way if you want to get me something for christmas get me snowman peeps!! I love Peeps! Anywhoo, we decorated the stairs with this snowflake chain which took me 43 minutes to unwravel! I prevailed though, it is now on the stairs sparkeling... not really but it's a nice picture.
Merry Christmas! I can officialy say that! LOL oh yea, in my class the girl who sits next to me in French class was decorating her book and wrote LOL all over her book. She doesn't even know what it means!! Now you can see the American influence here. And guess what the word for parking lot is in French... 'parking'! How funny is that!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

School....dun dun dun dunnnnnnnn

I really don't like school (along with every kid in the world). Especially when it's french school! It was really funny, in math class we had just finished our test and our math teacher said "who ever is done they can sleep on their table!" hehehe sleep on our table! If i had a little white box to put my Jesus in.....I'd take him out and (kissy sounds) and share him with my friends....and if I had a little black box to put the devil in...I take him out and SMASH HIS FACE and put him back again!!!!!!!!!!! hehehe I love that song!! Such a lovely song!

Gotta go
Maddie

New Haircut

Hey!!
I just got my hair cut (post pics later) It was super funny! The hairdresser takes one look at my hair and says "oh la la" I guess you can tell what my hair looked like! But she did a really good job!! By the way, It's Audrey's birthday today!!! If you want to see her blog about her trip to Madagascar go to www.vanillabeanisland.blogspot.com it's really cool!!

Gotta Go,
Maddie

Moving

I don't like moving!! You can't find anything! I go to look for a book and it takes me 3 hours to go through all the boxes! The box will have a label saying "Maddie's Book's" and I'll find my old CD player and my model horses and then have like 2 books in it! It's crazy! Anyway so I go up to my room and I almost trip over a million boxes from Audrey unpacking! It's like a storage room! If you ever come to see me DO NOT I mean DO NOT ask to see our garage!!
It's not pretty! If you do make sure to bring a helmet and respect the sign that says "Watch for falling boxes!"
I better go see if I can enter my room!
Maddie
P.S I also LOVE brown!

Hello

Hey I'm Maddie,
If you didn't get from the title I live in a french speaking country! Which happens to be France. The title translates as "If wishes were horses..." So....you can guess I like horses too! I live in Perols, France. It is in the south of France, someone told me there are like 345 days of sunshine...no one told me the rainy days were all together! :) It has been raining for like 2 weeks STRAIGHT!!!!! No stop!! Yesterday was like the first sunny day since October 24 ughhh.

We (as in my family) work with another family at the International Chapel. Which reminds me I should probably make sure I have everything before I go.

Write more later,
Maddie
P.S. I LOVE green!!
