Dog Walking

 On Friday, I took my dog, Crystal, for a walk to the park.

 Crystal is a Husky puppy and is the cutest one ever.  At least I think so!

 "Whoah!  Slow down, Crystal!"

 We had to pose for a quick photo.

 At the park, I spotted my best friend Ivy.  I waved high and walked over to her.  She had brought her chocolate lab named Chocolate Chip.

 We played with our puppies.  Ivy had brought a ball to throw.

 "Nice, puppy!"

 After a bit, we got tired and sat down to rest and talk.

Right before we left Ivy and I posed on a rock wall.  I hope we go to the park again soon!  Do you have a dog?  Do take it for walks?

Apple Picking

 This weekend, I went apple picking.  It was so much fun!  The air was crisp and cool, just like a fall day should be, and the apples were delicious.

 I picked lots of apples.  My mom and I are going to make lots of yummy things with them!  Don't they look so good?

 I had to climb the trees in order to pick the apples.  I was a little scared that I might fall.

 Almost there!  I just have to reach a little farther!

 

I got it!  

Have you ever gone apple picking?  Was it fun?  Did you make any yummy things with the apples?

Garage Sales!

 I love garage sales!  Do you?  Yesterday, which was Saturday, my neighborhood had a bunch of garage sales.  It always fun to look for cool and unusual finds.

 There was all sorts of things.  Clothes, toys, books, furniture.....you name it!

 I was looking through some clothes when I happened to glance at the toy table.  Can you guess what I saw?  An American Girl doll!

 I was so excited.  I had been wanting one, but they are so expensive.

 Look at all that stuff I got!  My arms were loaded with great deals on my walk home.

This is all that I got.  American Girl doll Emily, some pajamas for her (so she isn't naked), cupcake slippers, sunglasses, and the Brave Emily book.

Do you ever go to garage sales?  Have you found any really, cool things?

A Tour of My Room

 Hey everyone!  Welcome to my blog Charming Cecile.  It used to be Nadia's blog (first it was Charming Cherrie then Simply, Truly Nadia) but now it's mine. 
Today I'm going to give you all a tour of my room.  But first a little about me.
Name: Cecile Adele Rey
Age: 11
Favorite Animal: Owls and Penguins
Interests/Hobbies/Sports: Dance (I do ballet and hip-hop.  Hip-hop is my favorite.), photography, acting, blogging, writing, soccer, owls, and penguins.

 Here is an overview of my room.  It is a little small, but I like it that way.  It's nice and cozy!

 First, is my desk.  There is a pencil holder with two pencils and a pair of scissors, my laptop, my photo board with a picture of me, my best friend Ivy, her dog Coconut, and a postcard from my friend Marisol in Costa Rica, a little pine cone I found in the woods, Meet Samantha book, two barrettes, and a trophy I won in soccer.

 Here is my chair and my computer bag that has a dragonfly on it.

 Underneath my desk I store my backpack, camera, yarn and knitting needles, an UNO game, and a bunch of books.

 On my bed I have a bunch of cute pillows that my mom made for me.  (Isn't the owl pillow absolutely adorable?!?!?)

 On the end of my bed are my stuffed animals.  There is a bunny, bird, some sort of creature, and half of a heart pillow (my friend, Marisol, who lives in Costa Rica has the other half).

 On the walls I have a bunch of posters. 

 The poster with penguins that says, "Warm and Fuzzy" is my favorite one.

 On this wall I have posters from two of my favorite blogs.  Our AG Adventures and My American Girl Story.

 

Me on my laptop.

And is the end of my room tour.  I hope you enjoyed it!  Please follow my blog.
