Dad - In case you hadn't noticed

We have a veritable funny farm, here. I used to answer the phone "Runyan's funny farm, chief nut speaking" until the court evaluator called and I forgot to check the caller id. Fortunately the kids were laughing themselves silly at the time and it actually was appropriate to answer that way. She got quite a kick out of it, still I was quite embarrassed.

Besides being a bit loopy, some of us have "special needs", even so, Jacob insists that he is the only normal one, and has lots of patience for the rest of us.

Update ----

Kirsten was recently grounded for smooching, and lost her birthday privileges. She has promised a life of celibacy and plans to become a Nun and so the birthday is back on. Her now ex-boyfriend has moved to Bolivia.

Jacob is getting ready to start High School. He has the cool new sunglasses a cool leather jacket, and looking to get a car of his own, maybe the "new" Jeep after it is finished being converted (can never have too many electric cars)

Ben is going to a new (new for him) Boy Scout troop. He even went on his first campout a couple of weeks ago.

Matt is making improvements in his 3 Rs by leaps and bounds.

Andrew, loves to watch lobster and crabs swimming in a tank, before I eat them, yumm yummm. He is also becoming quite the photographer, next month we will get even more "New York" footage for our project.

Me, I've lost 15 lbs and then gained them right back, eating out last weekend. I love a good steak, mmmmmm.

I've been taking some classes for a new profession/volunteering, I've just recently finished at the top of my class. I even out gunned, so to speak, a young hot shot with actual field experience.

John-Michael - The fun day.

I woke up then I went to school in my ride as usual. I had a lot to turn in and so I turned in all of it. Then I did lunch. And I came home in my friend's mom's car. Then I did my blog later in the day and had a fun time and I went to bed. And that was my day.

Jacob - The Bus

I got up and then I took a shower and I got dressed. I combed my hair and then I waited for the bus. And then I went into the bus and then I waited for school to get here until I went into the school.

And then I ate breakfast. I had my food for breakfast. And then I went to P.E. class. And then I went to advisement class. And then I went to math class. And then I went to reading class at Language Arts class where I got spelling words out. And then I ate lunch when I was hungry.

And then I had free time class. And then I did do science. Later, I went to the bus. And the bus carried me until I got home. And then I ate dinner. I had lasagna and then I went to bed.

The End

Ben - A typical school day.

Yesterday I started off by getting up and going to school in the morning. At school I had a breakfast of cereal. After breakfast I moved on to class where we did music. After music we went off to do math class and we worked on subtracting discounts from prices and then adding taxes. After math we moved on to reading class where we read a story and did some spelling. After reading and spelling we read our books until it was time to go to recess.

After lunch and recess we moved onto science where we worked on our roller-coaster projects. After science we moved onto social studies where we watched some movies about South America. After that we went home.

At home I did some reading for a while and I cleaned up the kitchen. After that I went to bed.

Matt - Starting Algebra

Ok, let's see....

When I woke up I started moving the engine a little bit because I like to move it. I didn't move the motor. There is a certain gear that sticks out of the front. If you turn it one direction it will turn all the parts that move in the motor. I didn't move it a lot because the motor wouldn't let it go too far.

After playing with it, it was time for my shower. After my shower I did all of my jobs, I started doing my schoolwork...I'm in algebra on math. Algebra is quite fun. It is much more fun than the normal math I did before such as multiplication, division, subtraction and addition. I know why I didn't do algebra first. It was because I needed skills in the other subjects that I just mentioned. I'm not going to be in beginning algebra for long because I looked ahead in the book and noticed that I only have about 15 more pages until the next subject.

When the boys got home, after I finished my list, I played around but not for too long because it took me a while to finish my list. Because right after I finished folding the laundry I got sidetracked.

I didn't play Warcraft last night. I read. I read "The Day My Butt Went Psycho". It is the weirdest book I have ever read. I haven't finished it yet. It also is one of the funniest book I have ever read. It may be THE funniest book I have ever read. I just haven't decided yet.

Kirsten - I Don't Remember Yesterday

OK. Hmmmmm......trying to remember. Oh yes, yesteday was Monday. So, I woke up and I didn't eat breakfast. Then I went down and read for four hours and then I came back up because I felt like a hermit and I ate some Easy-Mac with Bologna. Then I picked up the house and made a lasagna to be heated up later for dinner.

Around 5:00 I put the lasagna in and heated it up and then we all ate it and then I went to bed.
