~MONDAY~

I woke up to the sound of my mom having a shower. I went downstairs and suddenly remembered that my friends were coming over! I made myself cornflakes and sugar. I ate slowly, thinking about what we would do. Then I showered and got dressed. For once I wasn't getting dressed in my riding clothes! I put one of my new favorite t-shirts:
A blue loose top with Born to ride written on it in swirly white text and the shadow of a girl riding a horse:

And I put my shorts on.
Then I walked Sprinkles. Mom was busy skyping her friends in Manchester. My friends were coming at 1pm.

I left Sprinkles at home and set off for the ranch. I helped Hazel tack some horses for some young girls that had were starting to ride for the first time. They were quite cute.
Then I cleaned some stalls and went to see Flame. I wish I could talk. I could tell him how much I loved him. I slowly tried to call out his name: "Ff-fa".
I tried again and again. I finally managed: "Ffffff-aaaammmm"
It was the best I could do!

I biked home. I helped my mom a bit on her gardening project and then started making lunch:
Pasta Carbonara. We ate, mom was very excited to meet my new friends!

It then started to rain. Great! Not.
Charlotte arrived first. She was soaked so she went to get dry, and I burrowed her some clothes. Then Hazel and Jess arrived. They had brought an umbrella so they were fine. They presented themselves to mom.

-"Thank you so much for being my daughter's friend! It's so nice of you to come here to be with her!"mom joyfully replied. I started turning red like a tomato. Why did mom have to say that?!?! I showed them our house. Hazel helped me present Sprinkles, she met him before!
Char (Charlotte's nickname) fell in love with Sprinkles! We decided to go to the nearby cafe, it had stopped raining.
Mom let us go, with umbrellas ("just in case it starts raining").

We had hot chocolate. Yum! 😍 Hazel started telling us all about her school, Riverside school. We would all go to the same school. :) It's the closest school in the district so...

Then we walked home and took Sprinkles, Char wanted to take him out. 
We stayed for a while and then went back home. Mom had bought some buns so we had a snack. Then the girls moms called, they had to go home.

Mom drove them. Then I took out some leftover food for dinner and warmed it up. Mom came home and we ate. Mom was talking nonstop about my friends! I then went to bed and slowly fell asleep...
