Well, we had a change of plans. I have been sworn to secrecy however and I am not allowed to even hint at what we did tonight instead of what was originally planned. Chris wanted to be the one to post about it and so of course I agreed!
Suffice it to say no hairs got cut and Ben and Matt didn't get a chance to blog. They'll be first on the list tomorrow so no worries!
I did run the car conversion to ship idea by John-Michael when he got home from school. He thought it was fantastic. He was thrilled to donate his pirate flag to the project and even had some cool ideas to discuss with Chris about how to rig everything up so we could still get the car into the garage!

John-Michael - Early to Bed
Go home in a car,
Walk in through the door.
Walk up on the stairs
And into my room.
Up the ladder.
Onto my bed.
Fall asleep fast.
Snooze, snooze, snooze.
Walk in through the door.

And into my room.
Up the ladder.
Onto my bed.
Fall asleep fast.
Snooze, snooze, snooze.
Jacob and the Attack of the Talking Toilet
Jacob will find a toilet but the toilet is in the school. Turbo Toilet 2000 is trying to take over the world and fan club. Captain Underpants will go to the toilet and find the toilet. Jacob followed Captain Underpants and then Captain Underpants found talking toilets. Captain Underpants will plunger the toilets until Turbo Toilet 2000 is angry. And then they will battle the Turbo Toilet 2000 and then Captain Underpants and Jacob did battle the Turbo Toilet 2000. Captain Underpants and Jacob defeated the Turbo Toilet 2000.
Don't miss out on the next exciting adventure..."Jacob and Professor Poopy-Pants with a Dinosaur"!
Now, for what happened yesterday.
It was a school day. I'll write more tomorrow.

Kirsten - Ugh
I don't know what to say. I haven't thought about it at all.
--laughing and giggling--
(Note from the typist: She is just laughing and giggling now because she knows I will write down every word she says)
--alternately smirking and then giggling--
(Another note: She knows she must be careful...she's even beginning to blush about the whole thing. Soon I may just start making things up and attributing them to her if she doesn't get going. LOL)
--more giggling and smirking while looking over the typist's shoulder--
No I am not smirking and giggling. No I am not smirking and gigg....oh that is what I said. No that is not what I said exactly...you are getting it wrong....you don't have enough "no's"
(ANOTHER note from the typist: Ok, seriously now....we are starting anew....So, Kirsten will begin her "official" post)
Jeez-Louise Jennifer. Anyway....
Yesterday was quite boring. Or was it....I don't remember....hmmmm.....
I did help the boys get off to school yesterday. Oh yes, and then I took a nap. But I don't really like naps so that was very hypocritical of myself. But I plopped over so I guess it was ok.
For dinner we had egg-salad burritos, which were quite odd. I would not actually suggest them but it was ok. It was my own concoction. Then Ben went to scouts last night and I watched the remaining boys in the house and did a whole bunch of laundry. So much laundry in fact that I probably did not need to take a shower that night. I was literally swimming in laundry.
The only other thing I did was call my boyfriend (note: she means her ex-boyfriend in Bolivia...it was a LONG-distance call) and then I went to bed after my swim.

Jennifer/Mom - An update of my own
Yesterday and this morning I was given a hard time because I hadn't posted in a few days. The truth of the matter is I am totally intimidated by all the great posts everyone has been putting up! Further I am irked that Chris is so much funnier than I am.
Still, I guess I should update myself and John-Michael as Chris gave updates for everyone else yesterday.
John-Michael - Reading up a storm! At a party we all attended a couple of weeks ago, the neighbor the boys get a ride with in the morning told me he has never seen anything like the way John-Michael reads. He gets into the car reading and gets out of the car reading. He is just reading ALL the time. John-Michael also loves playing World of Warcraft. His character is a hunter and he has just learned how to tame beasts! He now has to get some gold coming in so he can get a collection of tamed beasts and afford to stable them as you can only have one "pet" active at a time.
Me - I started re-reading parts of a book I really like last night. Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" Recommended by a friend, I read it about this time last year for the first time and I really enjoyed it. Very insightful and illuminating and very helpful in dealing with some of the challenges I faced at the time. I highly recommend it.
I just got off the phone with Chris and apparently we are going to begin a program to do a greater part for decreasing global warming by increasing pirate activity. I shall explain further....going into a headwind with the electric car operating on low battery charge inspired Chris to suggest a sail be added to the car. I responded with enthusiasm that I thought that it was a fantastic idea! I was sure that John-Michael would be thrilled to lend his new Jolly Roger to the project. We could put a bumper sticker on the back that says "Honk if you love Pirates!" and another that says "Doing our part to decrease global warming!" (If the global warming thing confuses you just look at the chart we posted on Wednesday, May 16th. That will help clear things up.)
We haven't quite figured out how we would successfully tack back and forth across the freeway without annoying the other drivers. We are fairly confident however, they will be understanding for such a sound cause as decreasing global warming. I am sure Chris will figure out a solution though. He is a brilliant engineer!
Ok, time for me to go and get the dictations from Kirsten and Matt plus get more progress done on my own "LIST". Lots to do! Lots to do! Including haircuts this afternoon (if I can fit it in)!
