Here is a look at the back.

 

 

The side.

 

 

And the front.

 

 

Ok. Lets look at what you will need:

Brush

water

hair tie

hair claw clips

 

 

First brush through hair.

 

 

Mist hair and brush again.

 

 

Make sure you mist the front but don't get it in her eyes!

 

 

Now take a section of hair from the top and front. like this.

 

 

and twist.

 

 

pull around the head so it lays flat.

 

 

and stick a claw clip in.

 

 

Now twist the Bottom up.

 

 

stick to more clips in to make it pretty!

 

 

Repeat on the other side

 

 

The last step is to pull all the hair into a pony tail and stick two moe clips in to finish the look.

 

 

Isn't she Pretty!

The Farming Report 4/12

Howdy! Today's Fun fact is on SUNFLOWERS!

*The scientific name of sunflowers is Helianthus, Helia for sun and Anthus for flower.

 

*Sunflowers are one of the fastest growing plants. They can grow 8 to 12 feet tall in rich soil within six months.

 

*It require only 90 to 100 days from planting to maturity.

 

*Wild sunflower is highly branched with small heads and small seeds, in contrast to the single-stem and large seed head of domesticated sunflower.

 

*A well-known sunflower characteristic is that the flowering heads track the sun's movement, a phenomenon known as heliotropism.

 

*Sunflowers follow the sun even when it is cloudy.

 

*One sunflower can have up to 2000 seeds.

 

I hope you enjoyed learning a little about the sunflower! Do you have a plant or animal you would like to know more about? Ask below!

Ask Abbie 3/12

Dear Abbie,
I Love to sing, but my whole faily gets annoyed because I do it so often. What should I do?
A Worried Nightingale

Even the most beautiful song is nothing but noise if it sung at the wrong time. Singing in the shower is O.K. but singing when someone is talking on the phone is not. So stick to singiing when your by yourself. Also, why not join a school or church singing group? You'll be able to flock with other songbirds who'll want you to sing your heart out! From the American girl magizine

Verse of the Week 1/12

Psalm 15

 1 LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
 2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.
 3 He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.
 4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.
 5 He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.
