Fourth of July/ Fighting

Hi! This is Nicki Fleming here, and I'm going to tell you about our plans for the Fourth of July. This morning we were in a parade. It was really fun; I felt like I was supporting our country and I got to see a few of my new friends that were watching. Sorry, you may have to tilt your head a bit, but there are a few pictures above of us in our outfits. From top to bottom: Julie, Claire, Jess, Nicki, Elizabeth, Felicity and then there is a group picture. The sign below us says American Girl Journal.

We also sang a few Patriotic songs to celebrate Independence Day. From top to bottom: Claire & Jess singing You're a Grand Old Flag, Elizabeth & Felicity singing America, and Nicki & Julie singing The Star Spangled Banner. (Yes, we are singing into a hairbrush :) Then Felicity and Elizabeth got into a fight:

Elizabeth: Felicity, do you remember when we got in that fight, because Annabelle called you uncivilized and you got angry at me because I didn't stand up for you?

Felicity: Yes... but you know I was right in acting that way.

Elizabeth: Well I can understand why you got angry, but I can see why Annabelle said that. It is uncivilized to dump tea in the harbor, and very unloyal to the king.

Felicity: But I didn't think it was right for the king to rule us and charge taxes if he was so far away.

Elizabeth: I just can't understand why you would think that!

Felicity: I can't understand how you could stay loyal to the king!

Elizabeth: You make me so angry! Why are you so stubborn?

Felicity: I can't help it, I'm a hothead remember?

Elizabeth: Hmph! ( Runs away)

Felicity: Hmph! ( Runs the other way)

I hope they make up and become friends again soon. When two people are fighting and they live in the same house, it's so tense. They'll get lonely for each other, they always do. I better go, I feel like seeing Jackson. I'll keep you posted with the Elizabeth/Felicity fight! Love, Nicki
