Yesterday I made two loaves of banana bread and I read "The Tale of Despereaux" as well as finishing the first book in the "Artemis Fowl" series and beginning the second. There was a very, very intense rain storm at that time I was with my dad and we decided to get hot chocolate that tasted like pumpkin juice.
That was really it.

John-Michael - Good News
I had a short visit at the dentist and it was fun. It didn't even hurt. Well, a tiny bit. A certain machine had so strong vibration it felt like it was drilling right through my tooth and I was scared!
When I got back to school I had lunch in my room in my own place at my table. And during lunch one of my loose teeth fell out. And there is so much more that I don't even think I can tell you but here is a little bit more.
After lunch I went to specials and I got to have my writing celebration treat. But during lunch my teacher was reading the book when my tooth just popped out. I didn't really know my tooth popped out when it did but then I suddenly noticed that it had popped out. I said, "'Mrs. Wonderful' my tooth just popped out." But I had a little bit of grilled cheese sandwich in my mouth and my tooth in my mouth and I didn't want to accidentally swallow my tooth with my little bit of chewed up grilled cheese sandwich.
But that was my day.

Jacob - Yesterday was Tuesday
I went to school. I did do P.E. and I won. I ripped my pants so they are trash. Ripped two places. And then I got home. I ate dinner and then I went to bed.
That's all.
That's all.

Kirsten - The Force and WoW
Yesterday, I went to Grandma and Grandpa's for a BBQ. Dad handled the grill and apparently received a revelation ("Halelujah! Prrrraaaaiizz-a the Looorrrd-a").
Anyway, we also had my birthday party which was very exciting.
Anyway, we also had my birthday party which was very exciting. Other than that I'm in the process of reading a few books. So far, this summer I've read 4 or 5 books.
Meh. Well, that's my update. I'm sure the audience of this post greatly appreciates my words of wisdom, and to the audience of this post I say, "You're welcome". Just kidding. Bye! May the force be with you.
P.S. Always remember: "You can't give up on the World.....of Warcraft!" -- Eric Cartman
Dad - answer to one of life's most important questions
I have finally reached a conclusion to my quest for the answer to one of life's great questions. After many years of searching for the solution to what has to be one of modern man's most puzzling questions: Why do they sell hot dog buns in bags of 8 and hot dogs in packages of 10?
As I stopped to pick up 2 hot dogs I had dropped, a bright light descended from above. And in that light I saw 2 weeners whose tastyness and aroma defied all description. The first weener spoke to me pointing to the other and said "behold this is my beloved frankfurter who is well done hear him."
Ummm....Jennifer just stopped me 'cause that story is already taken.
2nd try:
As I was stooping to pick up the 2 hot dogs I dropped, in my feeble attempt to be a BBQ chef. It came to me in a flash, like a bright light descending from above (just had to sneak that in). Around 20% of all Hot dogs inevitably end up on the ground, and the bun and hot dog makers who have undoubtedly done many scientific double blind peer reviewed studies on the matter and so are much wiser than we, have provided for just this contingency.
Thank you Oscar Myer

John-Michael - The Grill and Found
I woke up and ran to do my quick list.I had a big rest and read 'till the big Bar-B-Q.
Grandpa is great, he is so generous.
He gave us all stuff and we were all happy.
Then we came home
And did Matt's room
'Till it was bedtime.
Then I hopped into jammies
And was told to sleep.
It took quite a while.
Matt - At Grandma's House/The Bar-B-Q
At the beginning of the day I woke up. I started to do my list. I tried to finish it quick again. After I finished my list I had to read.
When I finished reading it was time to go to Grandma's. When we got to Grandma's (which is only a five minute drive) we started to get to
work in their back garage. We threw away all this garbage. We even threw away some computer stuff. But the computers were really old so I was certain they were broken. Some parts might still work and I am certain that they probably did but there is a chance that they didn't. But I am very sure that the cables worked because they are cables, they are just wires.
When we had finished the garage we dumped them into a dumpster and also a trailer. The trailer was for metal and the dumpster was for other stuff, such as rubber or things like that. When we finished with that we put the last things away into the shed. Then everyone else came to Grandma's house and we had our Bar-B-Q.
Dad cooked the food for the Bar-B-Q on the grill. Then we started eating. When we finished eating we got ready to go home and we went home. Then we cleaned up my room at home. After that it was time to go to bed.
And that was my day.

Ben - Memorial Day
Yesterday I got up and I started cleaning the kitchen. Then I had to take a shower and I had to leave the shower very early because I was going to Grandma's house. After getting dressed and all my stuff I went to Grandma's house along with Matt.
Matt and I worked with Grandma and Grandpa on cleaning out their back garage and attic. We found some really cool stuff like cameras and computers. Of course they were old though. After a while the others came over and so we got ready for a Bar-B-Q that we had for Memorial Day.
After the Bar-B-Q we had some cake to celebrate Kirsten's birthday party. After the cake we moved on to presents and then we stayed for a little while longer and then Matt and I took our new laptops home.
At home I cleaned the kitchen and then I went on Warcraft until I went to bed.

Jacob - Monday
I did make the eggs in the morning. I'm not sure in the day. Oh, well. In the afternoon I went to Grandma's house and I found Matt who build a future. I ate a hamburger and a hot dog. I ate eggs, applesauce, watermelon and I had three drinks...lemonade, milk and water.
Well, this is it.
Well, this is it.

Jennifer/Mom - Writer's Block
So I have been sitting staring at this screen for at least fifteen minutes thinking of what to write. I should be able to write quite nicely. I have myself a pretty good writing spot, not too many distractions and I have tons that I could write about (my life is full of iiinnnteresting characters and events).
The real bummer is that just an hour ago I was discussing a bunch of topics that I could write about with Chris. At the moment I either can't think of them or I can't think of how to write about them. Then there is the added bonus of Chris writing a post that is once again witty and humorous.
Now I have taken so long to write this that my battery is starting to run out. Maybe I will be more entertaining later or maybe tomorrow.

Dad - Herbie the Suburban
We have a Suburban with a mind of its own. I think we should name it Herbie. Last night after we stopped at the "bad" McDonald's the Suburban wouldn't start. The batteries looked a little low so a nice fellow gave us a jump. But that wasn't the problem. After the engine cooled down a bit I crawled under to see what I could find.
While I was under the car another car pulled up with a HUGE dog inside that was barking and ready to jump out the open window. I was a bit concerned that the dog might decide to attack while I was trapped nearly defenseless under the car, so Jennifer came out and "covered" me until I found the problem.
The ignition wire came off of the starter, so a quick hot wire and the engine roared back to life.

Jacob - Park
I can't finish the list. I can go play Wii.
At night I went to go to park and McDonald's are bad. I went to home to get in pajamas, take a medicine and get in bed.
I'm done.

John-Michael - park poetry
I went to a very big park.
I had lots of fun.
It was fun and amazing
and had lots of stuff too.
I at dinner at
A park bench.
Inside of our bags
Was our very good food.
Our food was our dinner
and very good dessert.
I met a few new people
And had a fun time.

Kirsten - I don't want to write this
You, as the audience of this post probably have absolutely no idea how much I really don't want to write my blog. Don't get me wrong, I usually don't mind it at all. Right now I'm just not in the mood.
Anywho, yesterday, I took Ben, Matt and John-Michael to the park. We played a lot of games including "The Frog Game" which is where the participants sit in a circle and hit each other's hands while saying,
"Down by the banks of the hanky-pankey,
Where the bullfrogs jump from bank to bankey.
It's a hip-hop over the top,
Lands on a lilly-pad and goes kerplop!"
It was exciting.
Jennifer, my brothers and John-Michael drove me to my work later that afternoon. I really enjoy going to work. I love the kids there. After work, Jennifer and I went and got some fried chicken (that makes me chuckle for reasons that don't really matter). Jennifer and I went home and we all took the food over to the park to have a picnic.
While at the park, my mom called. I guess she's been reading our blog...if you're reading this...I have one thing to say to you...hi. LOL That reminds me of Family Guy. I love that show.
For further information as to why I have made a connection with Family Guy, just watch "Stewie Loves Louis"
XOXO

Ben - Park Day
Yesterday I got up and did my list. after doing my list I had nothing to do so I just read until we went to the park. After the park we went home and had lunch. After lunch we had rest-time. So, we read a book until we went to the library.
After going to the library we went home and started resting and reading our books. After a while Jennifer left to get us some Kentucky Fried Chicken for dinner. After Jennifer got back we went to another park where we had dinner and played until we were home. We went to bed.

Matt - I did my jobs quickly
First when I woke up I did my jobs. I tried really quickly this time. After I finished it. Kirsten told me to read a book. After that it was time to go to the park.
We went to the part closest to our house. The park was pretty close to our house. It's only like a two minute walk. When we got there, we started playing games. We played "Sharks and Minnows", we also played "The Banana Game", "The Frog Game", and "Duck, Duck, Goose". We played "The Frog Game" twice. When we got home, we read again for a while, then we went to the library. We checked out lots of books because everyone went except for Dad and Kirsten. Then we read again.
After that we went on a picnic. A lot of the parks were taken. Finally we found one. It was the biggest one that was closest to our house. At the park we had lots of fun. We ate Kentucky Fried Chicken because Kirsten and Jennifer had bought it when they were gone. then we left and went home. That was my blog...my post I mean.
I'm finished.

Kirsten - Yesterday...was interesting
Yesterday...was interesting. Or I guess I should say iiinnteresting. Everyone had a late start because we had gone to the drive-in the night before. I went to work. but I also screwed up yesterday and lost my phone privileges. But it's really my fault I lost my phone because of things I had done. Not just one thing either, several in fact.
I think I learned something though. No, in fact, I know I learned some stuff yesterday. Sometimes it feels like lessons just don't stick but in this case it stuck and it's going to.
Being a teenager really is hard. But I've got a great support group. Jennifer for example, she's amazing. She's really an incredible person and I am so grateful she's here. My dad's been great too. They're both incredible people.
Yesterday at my work someone said something that I found rather interesting. A man at my work was talking to his child and he said, "My job isn't to make you happy, it's to make sure you're a good person. I'm sorry if sometimes both can't happen at once."
I don't know, I made some sort of connection when he said that. I'm devoting myself to being a better person. I'm sure hardly anyone reads this blog...but wish me luck!
XOXO,
Kirsten

John-Michael - No Blog
I forgot what I did yesterday. So I guess there won't be any blog. Darn I can't think of anything. Well I guess that's my blog. Maybe I'll be able to think of what I did today tomorrow.
