New video

We just finished making a video about Andrew's visit this summer.




Used Sony's Vegas Movie studio and a whole lot of still frames.

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

Yesterday, I completed my list and then worked on my homework. I had a lot of time to work on my math homework because I had to take Jacob, Ben and Matt to boy scouts and stay there with them during the meeting.

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

Matt - Goofing Off

Yesterday I woke up, got dressed and goofed off. Then I goofed off, to end with more silly goofing off.

At 3:30 pm I FINALLY finished my list. Next, I finially finished Andrew's and my roller coaster. After that I ate dinner and went to boy scouts. Finally, I came home from boy scouts and went to bed.

Jacob - Scouts Tomorrow

I woke up and I got dressed. I went eat breakfast. I ate breakfast.

Soon, I waited for the bus.

Soon I went into the bus. I went into Kirsten's school. I did learn birds.

Soon I got into my big home. I did my list. Soon, I went into Cici's pizza. I went into the bed.

That's all for now...scouts tomorrow.

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.

After Cici's we went home. Dad soon came back. We watched the end of the Bee Movie. then we went to bed.

The End.

Matt - 7-8-08

Yesterday I woke up, got dressed and messed around. Then, I messed around, to end with more messing around. Next, I got my jobs done.

Then we went to Cici's Pizza. After that I played around and I got showered. Finally, I ate dinner and went to bed.

Mystery Blogs and Blog Backlog- Jennifer/Mom

The blog backlog is finally cleaned up. We are now current with all the posts that the kids have written. We had a few "mystery posts" that had no date and were out of order and we couldn't quite place them in the proper chronology. Hence, the "Mystery Posts".

Matt - Mystery Date - Mystery Blog #5 - Another Day of Goofing Around

Yesterday I woke up, got dressed, ate breakfast and then messed around, then I had lunch at the park. Next Jacob, Ben, John-Michael, Kirsten and I came home. After that I did nothing for three hours. Then I took two showers (the first time I didn't wash my body). Finally, I ate dinner, got in pj's and went to bed.

Ben - Mystery Date - Mystery Blog #4 - Nim's Island

Yesterday I woke up. I helped watch for Jacob's bus. Afterwards I ate breakfast. It was mostly an ordinary day for me until later.

I did most of my list except blog and daily job. I played around with Matt until I ate lunch.

I then went with Matt and took the dogs for a walk. We came back, ate dinner and watched Nim's Island in the theaters. Then we went home and went to bed after taking care of my laundry and reading.

The End

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.

Soon, I went to schoo. I did reading and work. I went to the park and it was time to go home. Soon I went into my home, then I was going to finish my list.

That's all.

Ben - Mystery Date - Mystery Blog #1

Yesterday I woke up. Not wanting to work then, I played with Matt. After I played with Matt I ate breakfast and played some more. All I really did was play with him yesterday. I ended up cleaning a little and went to bed.

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.
