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.

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.

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.

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.

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".

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

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.

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.

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.

We ate dinner. After dinner we played a card game. I didn't understand it really. Dad left for medicine for Jennifer. We ate icecream and went to bed.

Ben - 6-20-08 - Breakfast at Country Buffet

Yesterday I got up. I hurried through my list. Soon I learned that we would go to Country Buffet for breakfast.

Afterwards we went home. Dad went to work. Jacob went with him. We had rest time and I rested with Jennifer for a while.

We watched a couple of movies. Kirsten made enchiladas for dinner. I got the first haircut. We finished our movie and went to bed.

John-Michael - 6-29-08 - Goofy

I woke up and goofed around with Ben and Matt. Then I did my list. While I was doing my list Chris and my Mom left. Matt and I ate lunch. When we were finished we all went to the park. When we bot back we watched Zoom, Johnny English, then we went to bed.

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.

John-Michael - 6-27-08 - Two Parks

I woke up and read until my Mom woke up and got me started on my list. Then we went to the park. We played then we went to the park. then we ate dinner. Then I went to bed.

Ben - 6-27-08 - Double Park Day

Yesterday I got up and finished my list. Afterwards we played at the park. We made this cool spaceship game.

We came back and ate pizza for lunch. We watched TV for a while. Soon Dad and Jennifer came home. Then we read on our beds.

After resting we played with the legos. Soon we were fighting. So we were sent to the park to calm down. Back home we ate dinner, watched TV and went to bed.

Ben - 6-26-08 - Fun Day

Yesterday all sorts of fun stuff happened. First I got up and did my list. Breakfast had been moved to the last thing so I zoomed throug the rest so I could eat. Because we all finished so early, we got to go to the park.

After the park we went home. Kirsten, John and I went to the library. We played with toys until unch. After lunch we read on our beds. Then we watched some TV shows.

Later Dad and Jennifer came home. We ordered pizza and we watched "Wallace and Gromit". Those were both my ideas of what we could do. Then we went to bed.

Kirsten - 6-25-08 - Crocheting

Yesterday I did my list and I even got my room clean (finally). When I was done with my work, I took Ben and John to the Dollar Stor to see if there was any crochet hooks and yarn. There weren't any.

Later that day, I made frozen chicken pot pies for dinner and then took Ben to boy scouts. When I picked up Ben, I stopped by Walmart to get crochet hooks, yarn, dandruff shampoo and a snickers bar for Dad. When Ben and I got back home, Ben went to bed and Jennifer taught me how to crochet. My Dad also tried.

When Dad and Jennifer went for a walk, I watched "The Late, Late, Late Show with Craig Furguson" while I crocheted. That was pretty much it.

Ben - 6-25-08 - Boy Scouts

Yesterday I got up and worked on my list. I goofed off mostly with the boys until Jennifer talked with all of us about us needing to stop goofing off.

Afterwards, I checked if the kitchen was done. It was so I wrote my blog. I let the dogs out and ate lunch. Kirsten took John and I to the the store with the dogs.

The piano tuner came and tuned Dad's piano. I got ready for boy scouts. When we arrived only four boys showed up, including me! I was the oldest scout there. We played dodgeball. I won twice! We went home after Kirsten took us to Walmart. Then I went to bed.

The end.

Matt - 6-25-08 - Set

Yesterday I woke up, got dressed and ate breakfast. Then I goofed off and goofed off and finally to end with a "goof off".

Next, I went into the bathrooms and FINALLY cleaned them up. After that I did my blog post and talked with Jennifer. Next I showered and did my laundry as well as Jacob's. Finally, I ate dinner, played Set with Jennifer and went to bed.
