Hellooooo!Well today we were supposed to do...

Hellooooo!

Well today we were supposed to do a show, but we looked at the calender this morning and the show is actually next month! So we have a whole empty day ahead of us in which I am hoping to get in some doll play. =)

The new bank is in town square now! Lisa is really excited about how nice it is, so she cleaned up the inside of the bank yesterday and made it look extra spiffy to hold up to the outside.

The ladies gathered for a sewing circle at the Montoya's last friday. Everything went well until Mrs. Merriman asked someone to play on the piano to entertain the others while they sewed. Dolores played Amazing Grace and then Mrs. Wickon began to sing "Queen of the night." Ana Valasquez and Dolores began to laugh at how high some of the notes were which really made Mrs. Wickon mad. She stopped singing and left the rancho in a huff saying that she would never come to a Montoya sewing circle again. Oh dear....

Everyone in Pleasantville is doing their spring cleaning now and getting all of their spring and summer dresses out in anticipation of the next few months. I'm really excited about spring too! When we went on a bikeride yesterday there was even someone having a barbeque!

Well tata for now!

Hola!

I am so excited, we are going to finish filming today!!!!!!!!! YES! Then Greta and Willow can start editing it. So we're half way done with the movie. lol I am so incredibly excited about all of you seeing this movie finally! Too bad it's going to be a while. It will all be better for the wait though. =)

The snow melted at the Larson's farm yesterday, I love how green the grass looks after being covered with snow for so long. A change in scenery can sometimes be so refreshing. The Grumpy Troll is very crowded these days; right now Lisa, Creme, and Mr. Wickon are all eating breakfast. The Grumpy Troll came out with a lot of new things on the menu recently, including a French breakfast, a Scottish breakfast, an Irish breakfast, a sweetheart mocha, and a drink called the heart warmer. I wish I could eat breakfast there!

I'm going to go and help my sisters set up the next scene now, Happy Valentine's day!

Hello!Well, everyone is finally getting back to...

Sun, 7 Feb 2010 13:06:47 -0500

Hello!

Well, everyone is finally getting back to normal. Hooray! It's been a while since anyone did their chores in the Montoya Rancho, but they all did them just a few days ago. Fransisca, Ana, and Mama spent a lot of that day arguing about certain things, it was pretty funny! They all have such feisty tempers, that one of their arguments can be pretty amusing. =)

Juan, Antonio, and Tomas are another interesting group. Tomas likes to make up songs about food with the help of his sons, He'll ask each of them what their favorite dish is and then add them to the song. Also Mr. Montoya recently re-did everyone's chores so now Juan and Antonio have some funny ones like "Take Dude (the lizard) on a walk by the river" and "Sit quietly for as long as your mama tells you." lol

Nafy filmed another blog yesterday! I hope that Willow will have enough time to edit it before tomorrow, because I can't wait for all of you to see it!

A normal living room again!

Sun, 31 Jan 2010 11:30:03 -0500

Hellllllo!

Hey, we have a normal living room again! ;) We just finished taking down all the stuff that was everywhere in our living room, because we finally finished that part of the movie! Yayyyy!

Right now l really want to clean the Parkingtons and the Merrimans, because their houses are a mess! Mammy definitely needs to get on top of stuff, seeing as the feast meal still is being prepared!

Laura challenged Lisa to a skiing match yesterday; whoever gets to the bottom of Mt. Pleasant first wins! (And the looser has to pay for breakfast at the grumpy Troll!)

Well, not much else has happened other than we have started watching "Road to Avonlea" with my dad again, (I looooooooooooooove that series!) watching the episodes, I find more and more things in Avonlea that Pleasantville is based off of. =)

Happy last day of January! I can't wait for spring!!!!!!!

Hello, hello, hello!Much cleaning and organizing has...

Sun, 24 Jan 2010 13:52:46 -0500

Hello, hello, hello!

Much cleaning and organizing has been going on in the doll houses lately! Alex finished the feng shui in her house, and Laura Windmill moved in with Ali, Meg, and Angelica yesterday! Celine has been moaning about this for the last few weeks, because "All my kids are growing up and leaving me!" As Celine would say. She's pretty much changed her mind though, thinking of how she can totally re-do her house. =)

My dad's racing to finish the bank today! He's trying to finish before the weekend's up, so he's in the garage working away while singing along to all of his favorite country music on the radio.

I'm going to work on fixing up the Windmill's house today; it looks pretty empty right now without Laura's stuff, so I'm going fix it up a bit. We're also going to try and get some more scenes done today for the movie.

I really have the spring cleaning fever right now! I feel like going through all of the doll houses and cleaning every thing up right now! I always seem to want to do that during this time of year! Hehe... ;)

Well, see you next Sunday!

Howdy!Lots of interesting stuff has been going...

Sun, 17 Jan 2010 12:11:43 -0500

Howdy!

Lots of interesting stuff has been going on in Pleasantville lately!

A few days ago John did his rounds on all of the houses, (he checks to see that they have eaten, their pets have eaten, etc.) and he collected all of the people who didn't do all of those things, because they all had to spend a night in jail . So last night all of the Parkington maids, Kaya, Katharine Purr, Lara, Britta, and Angelica did their odd chores as well. ;) Poor Alison ended up with mucking the privy, and Angelica had to clean Bamboo Terrace's crab tank. Hehe...

The cooks at all of the restaurants have been very busy lately, lots of people have wanted to have a quick meal before facing John's inspection, and people like Lisa and Suzanna like to dine out a lot.

Lisa was attacked by a wolf a few days ago! She was extremely shaken, but Mr. Larson got there to save the day.

Mammy and Felicity are spring cleaning the entire Merriman house, Mammy insists that every room must be perfect, and a dress that doesn't have a snap on the back must not be worn until it has been mended. Nafy's amount of dresses to wear is shortening, because most of her dresses have either popped open or ripped because she doesn't like to wear her corset.

Well, that's all for now!

Hi everybody!

Wow, things have been craaaazy lately. Right now we are getting a scene ready for the movie. We are racing to get all of the movie scenes done before christmas, plus doing all sorts of gigs, and working on christmas presents! The movie is going to be really neat, we are planning on arranging our own soundtrack for it! The movie will be coming out later than January, because we have a lot of work still to do on it before it's ready to be released.

We got our christmas tree last night! I love the smell of fresh greenery this time of year.

Well, I have to go; Willow just told me I have to get in the shower NOW! Hehe....(We have to leave for a gig in about an hour.)

ttyl,

Hello there!

Well, right now our promotional DVD is playing over and over on the TV, because we are testing 92 of them because they need to be in promotional kits by tomorrow. We are leaving for Las Vegas tomorrow to stand around at the biggest fair convention of the year!

We are going to do some more scenes today for the movie too. We already have 11 hours of footage, and we are all making bets on how many tapes we are going to use for this film! =)

My dad is making pancakes right now! Mmmmm..... and remember to get started on that Christmas photo for the contest!

Hello there!Well things have been extremely busy...

Hello there!

Well things have been extremely busy lately. I actually like having a lot of stuff to do, so that's fine with me. =)

We are going to start decorating the Parkington's for christmas today, hooray!! We've been waiting for Greta to finish wallpapering Teresa and Elizabeth's rooms, and she should be able to finish that up this morning. The Parkington's have plans to go down to the Larson farm this afternoon to pick up nine of the best christmas trees. Everyone else is decorated for christmas except for the Montoyas. I can't wait for you guys to see picture's of the houses!

I just worked on christmas presents yesterday, and I'm hoping to work on them some more today as well as filming some more scenes for the movie.

My dad is starting to work on the Pleasantville Bank. YES! I'm really excited because there are going to be pillars and everything. He's hoping to finish by christmas!

I looked at our schedule for December the other day, and I'm really glad that we are starting christmas things so early, because pretty much on every day before christmas we have a gig somewhere!

Well, talk to ya'll later!

Hey!Well stuff has been pretty busy lately,...

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 15:01:01 -0500

Hey!

Well stuff has been pretty busy lately, we are doing 2-3 scenes of the new movie every day. I'm so excited for it!!

I have been so busy in the past weeks that I can really only work on Christmas presents on the weekend so I am trying to work on them as much as I can in between orchestra and stuff that has been going on this weekend.

Everyone in Pleasantville is preparing for winter. Suzanne and Cristal already have their Christmas trees up, and Suzanne just finished baking a batch of pink frosted gingerbread cookies. The two friends have constantly been checking the "Pleasantville Lady" to make sure that they are the most fashionable in town. =)

Clara has decorated her shop and now she is selling all kinds of Christmas sweets. The most popular sweet is the spiced gumdrop which all of the ladies like to buy for calling hour.

The Larsons have also decorated their tree. I think the Larson's christmas tree is my favorite because it reminds me of my family's tree. The tree has no real color scheme and is covered in all sorts of ornaments, and looks really colorful.

Well, that's it for now! See you next week,

Solana
