Butterflies in a Museum, Lilies in a Gallery

I went to the South African National Gallery and the South African Museum today. There was some exhibition of a Russian painter who came to South Africa. He painted a pretty picture of red lilies in a vase. You wouldn't BELIEVE how good these paintings were. The museum was cool, but a bit... creepy. Shivers ran up and down my legs the whole time. It felt like all the animals and birds and things were watching me. But there was a butterfly exhibit that had such beautiful blue butterflies in it. They looked like they were shimmering. And later, I went to the library and got some Jane Austen books. Educational day, I'd say, wouldn't you?

Almost There

My room is ALMOST finished. It is now bright turquoise, and I bought these cute blue and khaki cushions with beach umbrellas on. Now we're just waiting to get the curtains done. I'm not so happy about this because my current curtains are light pink. And pink and turquoise do NOT go well together. :( Oh well, it gets done when it gets done! I'll put some pictures up when it's finished (if it ever is).
Love, peace and marshmallows

Did You Notice...

My blog has had a MAKEOVER!!! It took me forever, because I couldn't figure out how to do half the stuff at first... :) Is it weird that it's called Sprinkles, Sparkles and Stars, but it's beachy? I just like beach themes, I guess! Oh, and I've been homeschooling for two days. I LOVE IT!!! :D Anyway, I think my blog looks really cool (not meaning to brag, sorry)! What do you think?

Puppy Classes

I went to Indi's puppy classes this morning, and all the puppies were very cute. They were:
Indi: Best puppy ever
Pumba: Cute black Labrador
Levi: Crazy Pit Bull that tried to eat my hoodie
Philo: Hyper Dalmatian
Sparkles: Funny Jack Russel
Duchess: White puffball
Snoopy: Tiny, tiny, tiny chihuahua
Indi was all excited, playing around with Pumba and Philo. Snoopy was growling at her, but she put her paw on his head and he stopped. (Her paw is bigger than his head.) Ha ha.
Unfortunately, Indi has NO idea how to roll over. Or stay. She knows how to sit, go down and give me her paw. Other than that, not much. Oh well...
See you!

P.S: Here's Bronco and Indi, and a funny picture I found of Pablo and Indi. She gives him such a hard time!

My Boxers!

Poor boy!

Water Dog

For the first time since winter began, I'm wearing a T-shirt and shorts. We've just found out that Indi is a water dog. She sticks her face in her water bowl and blows bubbles. Mom was watering the grass, and Indi was running through the spray, and biting thin air. She's turning out to be a big source of entertainment! And we don't have to wash her now...
See you soon!

I am a Skating Dunce...

I am SO sorry I haven't posted recently! I've been so busy lately! Anyway... I've been ice-skating with my friend Sarah, and I didn't fall once! Ha! I'm still a bit of a dunce though. It's horrible when you're about to fall over, but you don't. I get a sick feeling, and I'm scared to move in case I do fall over. But I actually LOVE skating, and I'm thinking of getting roller-blades to improve my balance.
See you soon!

Another Royal Wedding

I'm doing this while everyone else watches the royal wedding in Monaco. It's been on for three hours. Two of those were just guests arriving. I have to say, I liked the British royal wedding a lot more. Although, Charlene (is that her name? I'm not sure) is really pretty in her dress. But she never smiles. Kate was happy, happy, happy. This Prince of Monaco is 20 years older than her. 20! I couldn't sit through the whole thing. Some opera singer that's there has been singing for fifteen minutes now. Have you heard of Grace Kelly? That famous actress from the fifties? She married the Prince of Monaco. This prince is her son. You know, it's funny. The British royal wedding involved a prince with a famous mother (Princess Diana) getting married to a commoner. The same here. I'm really bored. I had to find something to blog about, right?
See you soon!
