a new friend

So, we had a new friend move in with us yesterday, specifically in with Sadie. She has red hair (nothing new around here), wears a bikini (I only do that on Fridays), and has fins (ok, none of us have those, thankfully).

Can you tell Sadie loves her mermaid doll? She is OBSESSED with the Little Mermaid, she’ll sing “AHhAHAHHH” like Ariel does (albeit louder and more off-key), and then make crab pinches with her fingers whenever Sebastian sings. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Oh, and Ariel has wasted no time making herself at home.

She plays with Sadie’s blocks….(without asking, kind of rude!)
Oh, look! She can spell her name. They DO have schools underwater.
She enjoys taking long soaks in the “hot tub” to keep her tail hydrated.
…and taking naps in the doll bed.
…here she is taking time for a quick snack…uh oh….don’t do it Ariel! Think of Flounder!

haha. Ok, I’m a dork. But whatever. I showed Rory the doll after my hours of hard work and he said,”Not bad for your first try”. I couldn’t be too dismayed, because I agree. ๐Ÿ˜‰ I’ll have to give it another shot…you know, for the baby. She needs a mermaid doll too!
