Isla & Ingrid and the others.

I am going to tell you a story of a remarkable and most unusual twin family 's story.


Isla and Ingrid where twins.

Identical twins.

You could not tell them apart unless they where wearing different clothes which they almost always where.

you see Ingrid was so different from Isla and Isla so different from Ingrid that in personality they where opposites but they where still the best of friends.

Isla and Ingrid where Orphans there two older twin brothers Ian and Isaac and there younger twin sisters Ireland and Iris and there even younger twin brother and sister  Ivy and Ivan and there was there even younger twin sister and brother Ida and Isaiah. and last but not least there was their youngest twin brothers Israel and Iser.
where also all orphans and they all lived with their their only set of grandparents alive.

Only Isla and Ingrid, Israel and Iser & Ian and Isaac where identical.

The twin Family's parents  had died mysteriously when Ian & Isaac where only 10 they basically disappeared one night they left and never came  back. it was  7 years later now and they had never returned the government had announced them dead so they went to live with their grandparents.

Let me describe  their features to you from oldest to youngest:


Ian and Isaac:


: Ian & Isaac where both  17.

  Their birthday was in May, May 13th.

 Ian was the older twin brother bye 19 minutes. (Isaac hated this)

  They both had messy dark Black/Brown hair and freckles They had dark green eyes. They where both very tall Ian being 5.10    and Isaac 5.9/5 (basically the same height) as Isaac would say.

 They had very similar personality's.  Ian & Isaac both loved chemistry, and they both loved to draw and paint being the most creative of the twins. They also ran x C.


They usually wore shorts and a T-Shirt. (Their favorite being a checkered green T-Shirt.




Isla & Ingrid:



:Isla & Ingrid where both 14.

Their birthday was in July, July 21st.

Isla was the oldest twin sister by 16 minuets, But Ingrid did not mind she liked being younger.


They both had long dark wavy hair with freckles. and they where alike with dark blue eyes. They where both medium height  for their age they where both alike being 5.2..


They had VERY different personality's

Isla Loved to dance and to sing she was a ballet star and her voice was so beautiful like a dove. she also enjoyed doing occasional paintings of landscapes. Isla being the much more preppy on of the two. Isla was also smart but did not enjoy to much reading as it ("hurt her delicate eyes")

While Ingrid.. HATED dresses and almost always wore shorts or jeans and a plain T-Shirt on top she was a big tomboy, she loved being in nature and loved animals (MUCH more than her sister) she hated singing and she was quite clumsily. She loved writing crazy adventurous stories. and when she did paint her paintings where done with her hands, you can imagine what that would look like.


Isla almost always wore dresses with fancy embroidered things on them when she was not wearing dresses (which was rare) she had a fancy shirt on with a pretty skirt. she hated jeans and could not stand shorts or pants she called them (Boyish!) she had only worn pants ONCE in here entire life for a baby picture and had never worn shorts.


while Ingrid on the other hand only wore shorts and pants and a plain shirt. she hated even the thought of being fancy and had only worn a dress in her life ONCE for you guessed it a baby picture.




IRELAND & IRIS:



:Ireland and Iris where both 11.


Their Birthday was in January, January 1st.


Ireland was the oldest of the two twins being 18 mins older. Iris was in her own world most of the time so I don't know her opinion on being younger one of the two.

Ireland was very popular at school at was quite a good soccer player, she was great at making sculptures and her spelling and handwriting where.. excellent.  She was the most sporty twin, she could play any sport and nail it. Baseball Basketball Golf, YOU NAME IT! she was also very outgoing and talkative.


Iris on the other hand was very quiet and shy she had a sweet voice and sang often but her biggest hobby was to read, she read books so much that her grandmother threatened that she might need glasses by the end of the year but Iris well dear Iris did not care, she loved books more than anything they where her passion she could go anywhere whenever she wanted. Iris was very unaware of her beauty and she did not notice any of the girls jealous stares, for her head was almost always and I mean almost always in a book. she also loved nature and being outside.


Ireland almost always wore shorts or pants depending on the sport it wasn't that she hated dresses it was just she had not time to wear them she was almost always playing some sort of sport.


Iris mostly wore long plain same color dresses  her favorites where her pastel azure one and her pastel yellow one. She also wore skirts sometimes.

Ivan on the other hand Liked video games and he played them far far to much all of the boys in his family played them but he well he was obsessed with playing them and he did not do much more than play them oh and he also loved candy. (Great kid right?) 


Ivy was not picky and wore almost anything skirts dresses pants shorts,etc

 just like her brother who through on something in the morning sometimes shorts sometimes pants and a shirt which very rarely matched. at a hearty breakfast of pancakes drenched in Maple syrup and twix candy.

What was the Holocaust
Where is Machu Piccu

It was so fun learning about all the different people and times,

one of my favorite books is the Where is the Bermuda triangle it was very interesting, all the spooky stories of it where so fun to read.


LANGUAGE/TRAVEL

This year my family and I went to Spain and England.

It was so fun to learn Spanish and get to see the Spanish culture!
We went to Barcelona first and I was surpirsed by how many dogs there were. I also saw parakeets in the trees there which was different than home. In Valencia I found a cat with little kittens and we ate a lot of oranges. Last we went to Elche and visited the beach.

England was so awesome as well with its lush fields on one side and the magnificent old buildings on the other. We spent of out time in Oxford where we got special blueberry ice cream and I saw where my brother was born. It was really cool to see all the old architecture.

I picked up a little Spanish during the trip and my British accent is very fine now.
I also made a lot of friends and wrote a lot of post cards to friends back home. I think most of my money went to buy stamps ;)

Altogether it was a great trip.

We went to New York City too one day and we got to walk on the Brooklyn Bridge. It was fun to do that after reading how it was built.



ART

This year I practiced different styles of drawing and practiced drawing different creatures other than just people.

Some of my art are on our family's learning Instagram account

ANIMAL SCIENCE

This year I studied about incubation and built my own incubator which I used to hatch my own quail and chickens. I currently have Eastern Painted Turtle eggs in it which have an incubation period of 72 days. (Worth the wait)

My sheep are growing and after shearing them in May I'm learning how to skirt and card the wool. I learned how to needle felt and am excited to use my own wool to felt as one of my new hobbies.

I've had to learn a lot of animal medicine this year. We gave my lambs shots and my flock recently came down with a sickness which I think might be Merricks disease and I'm trying to help protect the healthy birds. Four of my birds was attacked by a Coyote recently. One survived but with a big cut and I had to try and glue her skin back.

MATH

I've been reading the Life of Fred series and have really enjoyed learning more about math. Fred's approach to math is very different than most math books. He uses math almost like it's a game and you try to solve the puzzle to help Fred.

MUSIC

I've been learning new songs on the piano and also how to play songs by ear. I'm pretty good at picking out a new melody.

I love singing still too.

BUSINESS

I'm still selling my pasture raised chicken eggs for $5 a dozen. I also have duck eggs which are $7 a dozen. My eggs sell out fast and I probably sell 6-7 dozen a week.

With the egg money I buy my own chicken food and hay for my sheep as well as anything extra they need. I've learned how to do budgeting and stay out of debt.
