Jennifer/Mom - Posting again...

...Yes, we're posting again after taking a hiatus for a bit. Keeping track of everything certainly does keep us busy. I'll be posting some pictures of the first day of the Cleanathon and our Tamale dinner tomorrow.

Jacob – I ate 6 of them.

On Saturday, I wanted to go to the Runyan Spring Cleanathon! After we were done for the day I had dinner and then I went to bed.

On Sunday, I went back to sleep for a long nap. I did my list after I woke up. I helped Kirsten and Ben make dinner. Dinner was called Tamales. I had six tamales and corn on the cob.

While we made dinner mom called. I talked to mom but I didn’t get to talk to Andrew.

When it was bedtime I went to bed. And that’s all I had and don’t forget that.

Kirsten’s Blog:

Yesterday, we did homework throughout the day. This involved helping Ben make tamales for his Spanish project. The tamales took hours to make, and our mom ended up calling when we were in the middle of making them. At this point, Jacob had joined in the tamale making. Since Matt and John were the only kids not making tamales, they talked with my mom first. It was funny actually, John never talks to my mom.

The other thing I did yesterday was I moved all the furniture around in my room. It looks very different now. My bed is now on the other side of the bed-room. I also washed all my sheets. Which made it difficult to sleep last night, because my bed was wet.

Ben – Two day blog

For the Cleanathon Day 1, I started by working on homework, doing my list and ate breakfast. Then I set up the Cleanathon Banner. Then we had Bambino Burgers from Goodtimes for lunch. Then we picked up the front yard. The others pulled weeds and used the power washer to clean the front of the house. I raked the grass and leaves on both sides of the house. Then I got a turn on the power washer. Then we moved to the back where we picked up dog poo, rocks and a yo-yo I found. Then we got prizes for working and I got a medal for finding the funniest thing; the yo-yo. Then we had pizza. I studied a bit and then went to bed.

On Tamale Day, we spent the morning doing homework, eating lunch and breakfast and finding a recipe for Tamales. I had to make Tamales for a Spanish homework assignment. Then, Kirsten and Jennifer got stuff for the Tamales. When they came back Kirsten and I made Tamales, which were harder than they looked. Then we ate them and got ready for bed.

Matt – Something

Yesterday was really something. I made my bed. Then, I goofed around a little. After that I did homework. Then I did homework with mustard on top. Then, I did homework with ketchup and mustard. Then I did homework with mustard, ketchup and a cherry on top. Next I did homework, homework and homework.

Finally, we had a tasty home-made Mexican dinner.

John-Michael – Blog Posts…

First I did my list then I ate breakfast. After that my mom called me down to the living room. Then she said that we were doing a cleanathon and we were doing the outside first. I spent most of my time picking up trash and pulling weeds.
