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.

Matt - 6/21/08 - An "I did nothing day"

Yesterday I woke up and ate breakfast. then I talked with Jennifer. Next I showered. After that I went downstairs to get lunch. Then I started my jobs again. Next, I took a nap. Finally, I ate dinner, took a shower, and went to bed.

Kirsten - 6/21/08 - Life

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.

Jacob - 6/20/08

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

Soon I went in the school. I did reading, work, outdoor things, cooking and I went to the bus.

Soon, I got home. I watched Ben and Matt play the video game.

Soon, Dad is getting Jennifer.

That's all

Matt - 6/20/08 - Staying Up Late to Play on World of Warcraft

Yesterday I woke up, got dressed, ate breakfast, showered, and did my jobs. Then, I played Wii, ate lunch, and then Jacob came home from that day's summber school.

Mins. after Jacob came home, Dad left. Next, I helped Jacob get his list done. After that, Dad came home with Jennifer. Next, we had a pizza party (dinner was pizza). Finally, I played on World of Warcraft for two hours and went to bed at 9:00 p.m.

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.
