JUUUULIIEEE

Hey guys, it's Julie. Sorry I didn't write yesterday but I was so busy decorating for the party and stuff that I completely forgot. But it was fun! We didn't get any pictures but Chloe, Claire, Elizabeth, Felicity, Jess, Nicki, Rebecca, Brenna, Katie and I all went to Jonesville, a town near where we live, and went through this kinda scary Haunted House, had my fortune told (I'm going to marry a guy named Sven from Australia when I'm 26) and decorated cookies. Then we had pizza, chips, water and we ate our cookies we decorated. Then we went to this Bloody Butcher Shop that was a real butcher shop and I was so scared!!! I screamed 2 times. When we got to the actual Butcher Room, they kept pointing at me and saying that they wanted me! But they couldn't touch me. It was scary, but fun. Then we went home and watched Imagine That. Except that it froze in the middle and then we couldn't get it to fast forward, so I don't know what happened in the end. Anyway, have you heard about the new American Girl Crafts? Today I was looking at one of my favorite websites, Doll Diaries, and it said that American Girl is joining up with Michael's, the craft store, and starting a new line. Go to www.americangirlcrafts.com to check it out. I better get going because I have some school work. Bye! Love, Juuuuuuliiiiiiieeeeee

Rebecca Writing!

Hey... it's Rebecca. I've done my research so I hopefully won't be as awkward this time. Well today I had homework that Chloe helped me with so that's what took me so long. I'm kinda sad about Claire leaving. She's the girl I've gotten to know best. I hope I'm not the one who is pushing her to leave. After all, I do cover all the things she likes. Oh that would be terrible! Well I have to go because I'm going to the barn with Nicki and Felicity right now. I'm excited because in Chicago, there weren't many horses walking around, but I'm also sort of nervous, just because they're so big! I better go. Bye! With love, Rebecca

COOL Claire

Hey guys. It's Claire :-) I have some good news and bad news. Good news is all of us are feeling better and the Halloween Party is still on this Friday. We're going to the Haunted Hayride, a Costume Contest at our local movie theatre, getting free dinner from a local school (not ours!) and going to the dance at our Middle School. Also, tonight is my Choir Concert! I'm really excited! I'll be happy to do it, but also happy to get it over with. Can you believe what Jess said about me yesterday?????????? That I would probably convince Chloe to not have the Halloween Party anymore when it was practically MY idea to have it????? I can't believe her. Also, I got a letter in the mail this morning from the dance school. I GOT IN!!!!!! I'll be moving there exactly one month from today, November 28th. It gives me time to celebrate Thanksgiving with my family on Thursday, pack up all the things I'm bringing with me on Friday, and move on Saturday. I have a lot of matters I have to take care of before I go. I have to tell my choir teacher that I can't be in State Honors Choir anymore (which I feel really bad about since we JUST auditioned, got in and now I'm leaving) and much more. Well, I have a lot of homework calling me, so I better go. Bye! Love, Claire

Just Jess

Hey guys, it's Jess. We're all feeling a little better today, but still not great. I'm REALLY tired. I don't have anything to write about. Sorry I didn't write yesterday... tomorrow we go back to school. And on Friday we're having a Halloween Party (if all of us feel alright). I bet Claire will fake sick so we can't have the party. She already convinced Chloe that we don't need to dress up because we are in 6th, 7th and 8th grade and that is childish. I have to go. Bye. Love, Jess

Ohhhhhhhhhhh

Hey guys, it's Elizabeth. I'm not feeling very well today I haven't all weekend really. But I'm gonna have to shake it off because this week is HALLOWEEN WEEK! To start it off, take this quiz at americangirl.com: http://www.americangirl.com/fun/quizzes/quizzes,php?quiz=halloween and comment below what you got or what you are going to be for Halloween. Oh! I better hurry! Also on QVC today, I saw the last showing of American Girl Dolls for the year. Go on their website and you'll see the American Girls they are selling. Well, I have to go. Bye! Love, Elizabeth

Hey guys...

Hey. It's Felicity. Sorry I didn't write yesterday, but I wasn't feeling too well and I'm not TOO much better today. I don't have much to say.... except tomorrow we start Halloween Week. Get ready!!! Also, check out the new poll. Bye! Love, Felicity

NO SCHOOL!?!?!?!?!?

Hey guys, it's Nicki. We have some exciting but sort of scary news. Not for any of us, but for our community. Tomorrow, Monday and Tuesday we don't have any school because up to 28% of our student body has been absent this week from H1N1, flu, cold, and strep throat. Please be thinking (and praying!) for us this weekend. All of us have been sneezing, coughing etc. but nothing worse. Are you going to get the H1N1 vaccine? I think we are because unlike every flu and things, we don't have immunity to this. Well I was going to ride Jackson tonight but I didn't because I haven't been feeling too well. I also have ALL DAY tomorrow. Well I have to go. Bye. Love, Nicki

Hey!!!!!!!!

Hey guys, it's Julie! I have to hurry because I have to leave for Youth Group at church soon. But doesn't Rebecca sound cool????? I know you don't really know her, but she is really nice, smart and pretty. I LOVE her hair. I have such straight, boring hair and she has those beautiful curls. She says she wish we could trade. She says she doesn't like her curls because they're so crazy, and would love to have my straight, pretty hair. Anyway, I didn't have any homework today! OH YEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHH. I'm hyper today, if you haven't noticed. Tomorrow is our last day of MEAP testing! Again, OH YEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHH. Well I have to go. Bye! Love, Julie

Hi.......?

Hi, I'm Rebecca and I'm new to.... what's it called? Oh yeah, American Girl Journal. Chloe bought me on October 9th and I've been here a little less than two weeks. I'm not really sure what they usually write about here so I'll just give you a little biography about myself and how I like it here. Well my name is Rebecca Rubin, I'm 10 years old and I want to be an actress/singer when I grow up. More an actress, but I like to sing and dance too. That's why I've gotten along so well with Claire since we like most of the same things. But I like the other girls too so that if Claire gets accepted to dance school, I still have some friends. So far I'm fitting in really well here. This small town in Michigan was a big change from big Chicago, but I actually like it here. The girls have been especially nice and Chloe has taken me under her wing and made sure I'm alright. School was a bit harder and I haven't really found any friends yet, but I'm starting to get used to it. It was NOT a pleasant surprise when I came back and had to take the MEAP. I've never had to take anything like that before, but I knew some things. Anyway I better go because I have to get off the computer at 3 (it's 2:59!) Bye! How do they sign off????? Sincerely, Rebecca

Claire!

Hey guys, it's Claire. I'm really sorry I haven't written for the past few days. On Friday I was sick and fell asleep. Then on Saturday I was at state honors choir all day - I officially made it in! WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I'm so excited. Except that if I get accepted to dance school, I'll have to quit that and the play. I wish I could stay, but it's an INCREDIBLE opportunity. Yesterday I went to church and went to ZooBoo with my cousin Emma. They decorate the Zoo so it looks Halloweeny and you go around "Trick or Treating." I have to go because I really need to take a shower. Tomorrow Rebecca is writing! PLEASE vote on the poll!!! Bye! Love, Claire

Jess - gfgdfhvgkjhioufrytezaghv

Hey guys, sorry if there are a few typos in here, Coconut and Honey are rubbing up against my hand. Almost everyone in my school is sick and today my best friend Brenna went home because she had a fever all day. She tried to blame me, but I proved her wrong. I have to call her in a while and tell her what we did after she left. Right now we're taking this big test called the MEAP (Michigan Educational Assessment Program) and I'm SO sick of it. But we haven't even gotten to the worst part yet! I have to take it again nest Tuesday and Thursday. Anyway, I have to go call Brenna, finish my homework and take a nap. Then I'm going to surprise Chloe while she is at the theatre and clean the house. I better get moving! Love, Jess

Elizabeth

Hey guys, it's Elizabeth. Sorry I forgot to post yesterday and I can't be long today because I have homework to do. Anyway I have Bell Choir and Youth Group at church tonight. Today was NOT such a good day. I forgot my lunch and my tennis shoes for P.E. I'll be sure to put both of them in my backpack tonight. Well I hope you're having a good day! I think Rebecca is going to write soon. I have to go. Bye! Love, Elizabeth

Oops!

I just realized I gave you the wrong email! It's dollblogger@gmail.com. Thanks! Sorry!

Oh! Before I forget...

We will be having a Halloween Costume contest. Send in your doll's Halloween Costume pictures to www.dollblogger@gmail.com. The deadline is October 24th at 12:00 AM. Then on the poll we will vote whose was your favorite and they will (probably) win a special prize!

Also, Claire sent in her application to the California School of Dance today. I hope she gets in, but that means she will be away from us and will not be part of the blog anymore. We will give you more details when we get a letter back, and Claire promises to write as much as possible. Gotta go eat dinner! Love, Felicity

Sweet Pics!!!

First, we bought Felicity's Story Collection ( sorry for the bad picture, my camera wasn't working!)

We bought Rebecca's Accessories (the pin is already on her if you look above.)

We bought Rebecca's Hanukkah Dress.

Finally,we bought a hair pick for Rebecca's hair.

I'm Felicity... with exciting news!

Hey guys! It's Felicity! I have SO much to tell you! First, on Friday we rode the mega bus down to Chicago. I liked it but there wasn't much space, we were all smushed in there. When we got there we checked into the hotel and had lunch at the Rainforest Cafe. It was SO cool! When you walk in there is a big waterfall and a gift shop then you go upstairs and it's like you're in the rainforest! There were pretend gorillas, elephants and toucans. It was a lot cooler than I thought it would be. Then we went back to the hotel and swam, relaxed and slept. Saturday we went to my cousins baby shower which was nice, but I played with my cousins the whole time! It was really fun because my cousin has a HUGE house. Then we went to Shedd Aquarium which was TERRIBLE at first because raining and windy and we had to wait outside for 45 minutes because it was so busy. But once we got inside, it was SO COOL!!! We saw sharks, dolphins, eels, otters, beluga whales (which were everyone's favorites, I even got a stuffed animal) penguins and much more. Then we went back to the hotel and hung out. The next day was Sunday so we chilled out in the morning, went swimming blah blah blah. Then in the afternoon we went to American Girl Place. When you walk in there are all of the doll's showcases and their stuff. Then you keep going into Chrissa's area etc. then you go up an escalator into JLY. It was really cool. I'm going to go make another post with pictures! Bye! Love, Felicity

Nicki

Hey guys, it's Nicki. I have to go soon because I need to go see Jackson. I have a lot of homework that I have to make up so I probably won't be on for a while. Also, I think Felicity is planning on writing on here before she leaves, but we won't be writing Saturday or Sunday since Chloe isn't here to approve it. Bye! Love, Nicki

P.S. Be sure to check out the new poll!

sfhajehiuweyhuvhajknv;OIW;IEUJFROIHJL;KNVSLAKGwfjhoiwfhjjhfvgogvhn

Hey guys, it's Julie! I have nothing to say... but I'm excited to only have one more day of school this week because Chloe said we don't have to go to school when she's in Chicago. So tomorrow is my last day this week. I have to go. Sorry! Lots of homework to finish! BYE! Love Julie

Claire

Hey guys, it's Claire! I went shopping and now I'm writing this post. Tomorrow I have state honors choir practice. This week is going by SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO slowly! Ugh, it's only Tuesday. Anyway, I have to go because I have homework. BOOOOOOOO HOMEWORK! :( Well, Bye! Love, Claire

Hey guys, it's Jess! I'm tired of writing "JESS" in the title box every time so... Anyway, we have thought of some cool ideas for the blog:

1. fashion shows including the newest trends for the season
2. Halloween fun, contests, etc.
3. career day (school)
4. talent day/show

So yeah I'm pretty excited. Anyway I have to go. I have homework to do *sigh* Bye! Love, Jess

Elizabeth

Hey guys, it's Elizabeth. I have to say, the fair yesterday was quite disappointing. We spent $25 for 22 tickets and only got to ride three rides! Yeah, it wasn't much fun. Today we went to church (I worked in the Nursery) took Chloe to the theatre, I went to see Penny and Patriot, took a shower and got my clothes ready for this week. We picked Chloe up from the theatre, had dinner and now I'm writing this post. I have to go though because I have to finish my reading book for English. Okay, Bye! Love, Elizabeth

Fun Felicity!

Hey guys! Felicity here... I can't believe our blog is 3 months old already! Time flies... well I have to tell you something: I'M SOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED FOR CHICAGO! Less than a week! AHH! Now what should we buy? Chloe said she doesn't really want another historical, but if she did, it would probably be Kaya. She doesn't really want to get into Chrissa this late in the year. She thought about a JLY, but is not sure anymore. So that only leaves things for Julie, Elizabeth and I. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. I don't think Chloe is really choosing before hand because she might want something else, or this instead and blah blah blah. Anyway, we got the tickets for the bus and the train today so we're pretty much ready to go. We're going to have to get up early though! The bus leaves for Chicago at 8 AM but we live 2 hours away from the bus station so we have to LEAVE at 6 AM. But we'll have to get up at 4 or 5 AM to get ready and take everything. Then we'll ride the bus for 4 hours, so it will be 11 AM Chicago time when we get there. Then we'll go to Rainforest Cafe for lunch, so we won't be hungry. Next we'll go to Shedd Aquarium and look all around. Finally we'll go to American Girl Place. We have to be at the train station by 6:30 PM. We will get back to Ann Arbor at 10:30 PM and then drive for 2 hours home, which will make it 12:30 AM! Whoo! Well I have to go. We're going to the fair today for the last day. I was afraid it would be rainy all day but it looks like it's going to clear up. Bye! Love, Felicity

NiCkI

Hey guys, it's Nicki. I can't believe Felicity is going to Chicago! I'm happy for her but I mean, come on NO votes for me at all? Anyway, we have a new poll so be SURE to vote for that. I'm sorry, I know I sound rude. I've just had a really bad week. Well I have to go. Bye. LOVE Nicki

JULIE!

Hey guys, it's Julie. Sorry it's been a while, but on Monday we told you there would be pictures of the parade we were in. Well unfortunately the weather this week hasn't been so great and the parade was cancelled:-( So no pictures! Also, we didn't get to go to the fair on Monday, so we're going on Saturday. I hope I did well on my crafts! I'm SO happy tomorrow is Friday! We only had four days this week and then we have four days next week because Chloe says we don't have to go to school since whoever wins the poll (*cough* FELICITY *cough*) will be gone and won't go to school. I don't have much else to say except that I have homework waiting for me! BYE! Love, Julie

P.S. Thanks for voting for me! Keep voting!
