Sometimes I think Salley, Roberta, Cowabelle, Sparky and Alex are the luckiest kids around. Why? Because they don’t have siblings! Nibbles is lucky because she has an older sister, and Stoogles likes all of his brothers and sisters, so I guess he’s lucky too.

Or maybe I’m just UN-lucky.

Because of Millie. The hurricane on wheels.

See, Santakinz thought it would be a great idea to get Millie roller skates. I wish I had been awake when the jolly old elf was dropping off gifts, because I would’ve begged him to take the skates back to the North Pole with him.

Since it’s snowy outside, Millie has been skating around the house.

She’s not really supposed to, but mom is just happy that she’s enjoying her present – and she said that as long as she stays in the basement, she shouldn’t be able to do too much damage.

Well. Tell that to my ruined art project.

I’ve been working on my art project for three weeks. It was a little model of my house and yard. I thought it was really, really cute. I was just about done (I just had to paint the fence), when Millie decided to skate too close to the area I had roped off. She tripped on the rope and fell face-first into my project.

Needless to say, Millie bawled her eyes out. I tried to help her up, but she just screamed for mom. When mom asked how she fell, Millie said that I had tripped her on purpose by tying the skipping rope around my project. Mom said that it was all a big accident, and that Millie could help me fix my model.

I told mom I wasn’t really interested in her help. I grabbed my project and took it up to my room. I’ve been working on rebuilding the house and yard, but Millie really flattened it. Hilariously, the only thing that doesn’t resemble a pancake is the play dough Millie model I made.

Have I mentioned how excited I am for spring to come?
