Kirsten - 7-11-08 - Dogs get a bath

Yesterday I did my list and then I went to the library. I was very upset because the holds I had requested had vanished. I was very upset. I was however, able to get Ben and Matt some books.

Yesterday I also went to the store with Jennifer. We got groceries we would need for the next few days. I was also able to get some stuff i needed.

I also gave Donald and Daisy baths. It's kind of funny, Donald's bath is usually much longer than Daisy and he doesn't mind it as much. He'll actually enter the bathroom (without being carried) while Daisy will run and hide. In general they are easy to give baths because they're tiny and their fur is pretty short.

Ben - Triple park day

Yesterday I got up. I then worked on my list. Matt and I finished our lists at the same time.

Then Matt and I went to the park. Or so I thought. I actually went ahead. I had to turn around and go back home. Matt and I tried again. But we argued and had to go back to our house.

Kirsten helped us out with our lists. We were going to boy scout camp. We went to the park again. We came back and watched a movie. We ate dinner and went to bed.

The End

Matt - Going to the park

Yesterday I woke up, got dressed and did my jobs. Then, I ate breakfast.

Ten mins. later I was heading to the park. But Ben left later than I did. So then I went home and Kirsten got Ben.

Next, Ben and I watched Star Wars #1. After that, I ate dinner. Finally, I watched Star Wars #2 and went to bed.

Kirsten - The completion of the "Lord of the Rings" Trilogy

Yesterday I completed my list and then I went and worked on my homework.

When Jacob got home he took a long time trying to get his list done. Once his list was finally done, he helped me with dinner. We made spagetti and meatballs. The meatballs were a little weird. Oh well.

Then I watched "Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King." we finally finished the trilogy. Hurray! After that Dad and Jennifer went for a drive while I watched the dogs and fed them dinner.

Jennifer/Mom - The Lord of the Exhausting Rings

Tonight we just finished the Lord of the Rings trillogy. I agree with Chris. By the end of the last movie I just wanted him to get on the Blankety-blank boat.

Jacob - Take me to the camp

Dad, can you take me to the camp on Friday? Can you? (Yes.)

Oh well.

Kirsten - Homework and Boy Scouts

When we got home, I watched "Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" with Dad and Jennifer. I got tired really quickly though.

Ben - 7-9-08

Yesterday, I got up. I worked on my list. I didn't finish for a while so it was pretty boring. I eventually decided to write my blog. I didn't finish until lunch.

I made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I watched TV with Kirsten for a while. It was mostly boring because Matt would not finish his list. Soon I decided to take the dogs for a walk.

I met two kind people playing tennis. I got to try tennis a bit. I also gathered their tennis balls for them. Afterwards, they gave me three balls. What nice people they were! I went to boy scouts. Then we went home and to bed.

The End

Kirsten - 7-8-08 - Cici's Pizza and "Lord of the Rings"

Yesterday, after I completed my list I waited around for everyone else to be done and then we went to Cici's Pizza. I ate a whole bunch of the macaroni and cheese pizza. I really like that stuff.

Later I watched "Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" (the extended version) with Dad and Jennifer. I had ice cream while watching.

Other than that I really didn't do much because I slept in. I did find out that I passed my IB Exams though. That was a huge relief.

Ben - 7-8-08

I woke up. I didn't want to work so I played with Matt. Soon, I decided to eat so I hurried through my list. We changed jobs so I had to clean the kitchen.

I wrote my blog while I ate breakfast. Matt wasn't doing anything so I read. Soon Matt decided to finish. Afterwards we went to Cici's.

Mystery Blogs and Blog Backlog- Jennifer/Mom

Kirsten - Mystery Date - Mystery Blog #3

Yesterday Jennifer said she would take us to lunch if we got our work done. Sadly I was the only one who did this. I was the only one who got a nice lunch. Everyone else had peanut butter sandwiches.

I also read a lot of "Angels and Deamons" by Dan Brown yesterday. I was going to play Wii, but the controller was weird. Oh well, Jennifer said I could try again tonight. Instead of playing Wii, I watched a British television show (from BBC) called "Thermoman" (I think). It was actually pretty funny

Jacob - Mystery Date - Mystery Blog #2

I woke up and I made my bed. I ate my breakfast. I waited for the bus.

I would have preferred to have done other fun stuff. I would have rather got to play Wii. The others even got to watch Mr. Bean and A Bee Movie. That was fun things others got to do. Jutst not me. I just ate my root beer float ice cream bar and went to bed.

Kirsten - 7-4-08 - At the fountain with Andrew

Yesterday we spent the day with andrew. It's really still surprising that he and my mom actually came out. I was extremely shocked.

Yesterday Andrew spent a lot of time playing with his toy train, puppets and with the roller coaster thing. He seemed to have a good time. After everyone played for a little while we went to the fountain. There all the boys played in the water for a little while and then we went back home. When we got home Dad and Andrew left for their meeting.

For dinner we had really long sub sandwiches that Jacob and I put together. It was pretty great!

Ben - 7-4-08 - Andrew is here!

I woke up with excitement! Andrew was here! Soon Dad and Jennifer woke up. We had a family meeting. After the meeting, we finished our modified lists.

After our lists we ate breakfast. We cleaned the kitchen and started playing with the toys. Soon we went over and played at the fountain.

Back home we played some more. I went to the store with Dad and Andrew. We got dinner foods and went home. We made dinner then we showered. I showed Andrew how to play chess, then we went to bed.

The End

Kirsten - 7-2-08 - Cookies and Boy Scouts

Yesterday I woke up and I did my work. Ben was the next one done with his list. Matt and Jacob had a hard time doing their lists. After I talked with Matt he put himself in gear. Jacob didn't get back on track no matter what I did.

Eventually Jacob just went to bed. Meanwhile I took Matt and Ben to the store and we got frosting so we could make sugar cookies.

When we got home we made lots of sugar cookies. then we had Chicken Sloppy Joe's for dinner.

After dinner, I took Jacob, Ben and Matt to boy scouts. I stayed the whole time to help. After scouts I used the money Dad and Jennifer gave me to take my brothers to Dairy Queen.

Jacob - 7-1-08 - Yesterday

That's all I can tell you.

Matt - 7-1-08 - July 1st

Yesterday I woke up, got dressed and goofed off. The I goofed off with another dramatic ending of MORE goofing off.

At noon, I finally finished my jobs. Then I watched TV. Next I played a card game with Dad, Kirsten, Jennifer, and Ben. Finally, I showered, ate ice cream and went to bed.

Kirsten - 7-1-08 - A Grand Day In

Instead of travel to the Moon, Mars or even to the supermarket, I stayed in. Even so I still had a good day. I watched Arthur, Little House on the Prairie, Timone and Pumba and PBS Kids shows with Ben and Matt wen their lists were done. Jacob spent most of the day sleeping. He did his list shortly before dinner.

Earlier, (before Ben and Matt had completed their lists), I called my mom because she hadn't called for a long time and I wasn't sure if she actually is coming out. Her response was that she was coming out as long as some emergency that was out of her control didn't come up. (That is actually what she said.)

I suggested that mom take us to the store to get school clothes and supplies. I thoguht that was actually a good family activity that Jacob, Ben, Matt and I would enjoy. Apparently, my mom didn't think it was a good idea. So, instead we're probably going to go to Water World or some place "fun-filled and packed with action". I would rather go get school stuff. I thought the point was to do family things together as a family. That is why I suggested going shopping for school.

Oh, well.

Ben - 7-1-08

Yesterday I got up and did my list. After eating I watched TV. Matt didn't want to do his list.

Eventually he finished his blog. We watchedd all sorts of TV shows. I didn't like Little House on the Prairie though. We had macaroni and cheese for lunch.

Kirsten - 6-29-08 - A Mess Around Day

Yesterday was a pretty slow day. Everyone took a while to get dressed and get their lists done. Because of that we couldn't go to Country Buffet. But maybe some other time.

Donald also decided to eat some chicken bones left over from some fried chicken. At first we thought it was Daisy (she can be a little piggy). It was evident that Donald was the one at fault. he threw up chicken bones last night. Thankfully, he is okay.

Last night my brothers were also turkies after Dad and Jennifer went out. Actually, it was just Ben. He certainly was a stinker.

A situation with the cabin came up that wore my Dad out and prevented my Dad from participating in the party. I was upset because the situation didn't have to happen if there would have been some consideration and planning by other people. I really wanted to spend the day with my Dad.

Later that day, I made frozen chicken pot pies for dinner and then took Ben to boy scouts.

Kirsten - 6-24-08 - Bath Day

Yesterday Donald and Daisy had baths. They were starting to get really stinky, so one could tell it was that time. I've also realized that Daisy is gaining some weight so I'm giving her a little less food and she is supposed to "work-out" more. that's why I took her for a run last night.

Aside from everyone being sent to bed early, that was really the only exciting thing of yesterday.

Yesterday Dad and my brothers went to the cabin while Jennifer and I stayed home. At home, Jennifer gave me a two-hour long piano lesson and then we went to the grocery store and got lunch at chipotle. On our way out we saw that one of our neighbors was having a garage sale. They had a really cute jacket from Aeropostale there. I told them I might come back later and get it.

After we got home from the store and Chipotle, I went over to the garage sale and they gave me the coat for free because they were packing up anyway. They said they were going to donate the stuff to Goodwill. It was really nice of them to give me that jacket. Until Dad and my brother got home, I watched "Pollyanna" on the Hallmark Channel. When my dad got home, we watched "An Extremely Goofy Movie". Then we watched "Meet the Robinsons" while eating bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwiches for dinner.

Blog Backlog....

We got behind posting these so there are a LOT of blogs still to post. They will be posted oldest to newest with the dates they were written in the title. It may take a day or so to get caught up. Enjoy!

Everything breaks, but how come all at once?

Today the Corvette picked up a big nail, and the electric car blew a fuse, and a few other things got broken.

It seems to happen all at the same time, why is that?

Ben - 6/22/08

Yesterday I got up and started working on my list. Soon dad came out and said to get ready to go. I asked why and he said, "Because the boys are going to the cabin." We hurried to finish.

At the cabin we played quite a lot. I played pin-pong with Jacob. I beat Matt at Foosball and I was losing at Battleship against Matt. As we finished Clue Jr. we left after we finished watching Harry Potter.

Back home I wandered around until we watched a movie. We watched "An Extremely Goofy Movie". Then we watched "Meet the Robinsons". Then I went to bed after dinner of bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwiches.

Yesterday Jennifer took everyone out to lunch while my Dad was gone. Of course, everyone had to have their lists done. Then we went to Walmart and picked up a new board game. I was hoping we could get some new books, but I was out-voted. Oh, well.

Then, when Dad got home, I made Hawaiian chicken with Matt. Eventually Jacob joined in. My Dad teased me during dinner because I've been trying to make my own recipe and he can't figure out why I don't just use his.

After dinner, we played the board game "Life" (this was one of the games we picked up at Walmart). We also watched "Chicken Run". Eventually "Life" got boring so I stopped playing.

Kirsten - 6/20/08

Yesterday I finished reading "Angels and Demons". It was a pretty good book. There were a few parts I did not like. But overall it was pretty good. However, my interpretation of the book is probably pretty different than someone who is very religious. I thought "Angels and Demons" showed how important fear is in religion.

I also played Wii last night, which was fun, but I had to spend some time remembering how to play the game. The game is called "Second Opinion" and is simply a long list of operations with a really weird story line. It's really pathetic though, I think the easy level is really hard. I only tried one hard one, but it is pretty ridiculous.

John-Michael called me yesterday. I felt bad though because it was the second time he called and I wasn't available to answer. (That's pretty abnormal for me.)

That's all that really happened yesterday. The summer is slipping away.

Ben - 6/20/08 - Wii Play Today

Yesterday I got up and did my list. I actually finished everything before 1:00! Today is going to be fun I thought. Jennifer was gone to some meeting I think. I don't really know. All I now know is that I was right about having fun.

Matt and I goofed off for a while. It looked like a normal day. That is, until we agreed to help each other with our blogs. Finished with our blogs, we ran downstairs.

Down in Dad's office we told him we were done. I asked if we could play Wii. Dad agreed. We played until Dad left to get Jennifer. Dad came back and we had a pizza party. We played Wii some more. I kind of cleaned the kitchen and watched Matt play Warcraft. Then I went to bed.

Jacob - 6/19/08

I woke up and I made my bed. I got dressed and then I ate my breakfast. I was waiting for the bus.

Soon, I went to school. I did reading and work, park and cooking. Soon I went to my home. And then, I helped Kirsten make dinner. I ate dinner and then, I went into my bed.

Kirsten - 6/19/08

Yesterday Jennifer and I re-organized the furniture in Dad's office. In the process of cleaning the basement we brought the DVD's upstairs. We didn't actually do much after that. No one really got their work done. So we didn't do anything.

Jacob and I made egg-salad sandwiches for dinner. Then while Dad, Jennifer and my brothers watched a movie, I went to the store to get face-wash for me and a Snicker's bar for Dad.

Then my brothers went to bed and I watched "Legally Blonde".

Kirsten - 6/18/08

Yesterday I wok up and the normal stuff happened (jobs, blog, etc.). Actually, didn't happen is more like it. My brothers couldn't go to boyscouts because their work was not done.

Last night I made dinner. It was pretty good. Finally, I watched "Stargate: The Ark of Truth" and "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" with Dad and Jennifer.
