Ben - 7-2-08 - July 2

Yesterday I got up and did my list. I watched the dogs for quite a while. Kirsten and I were the only ones who finished their lists. I felt proud.

Kirsten, Matt and I all went to the store. We were going to make sugar cookies with frosting! We spent a couple of hours making them.

We then went to boy scouts. We got to play a lot of games. Afterwards we went to Dairy Queen. I got some root beer. At home I played chess with Dad and went to bed.

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.

John-Michael - 6-25-08 - A Long Blog

I woke up and just barely got jobs done before lunch. So, I played with my toys from San Diego. Then I had a lunch of peanut butter and jelly. Ben and I were finished with our lits early so we went to the Dollar Store with Kirsten.

When we got back the piano tuner came. Then I played with my toys 'till it was time for dinner. I took a shower and then played Set and went to bed.

Ben - 6-23-08

Yesterday I got up, made my bed, got dressed and ate breakfast. As I ate Matt said John was coming back today. I told him he was lying. I looked at the calendar and by George he was right!

After finishing my jobs, I was mostly done. I ate a snack, then went to do my blog. I ate dinner later. After dinner I finished my blog.

When done, we played Pit. Jennifer left to get John. We watched Eragon. We made popcorn and ice cream sundaes. I played a couple of card games with Kirsten and went to bed.

Kirsten - 6-23-08 - John-Michael comes home

Yesterday John got back home. Jennifer picked him up after we had the roast beef Jennifer made. Jennifer got home with John-Michael while we were watching a movie and playing "Pit!"

Yesterday I also practiced the piano. I practiced some of the songs I had been working on and also tried the right hand for Fur Elise.

I also drew some pictures and read some books, but that was really it.

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.

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.

Matt - Going to the Library (Saturday's post)

Yesterday I woke up, got dressed, ate breakfast and then I wrote my blog post. Next, I cleaned my room and swept and mopped the kitchen floor.

In the next 40 min. I was on my way to the library. At the library I checked out two books and I got a new library card. then I went home, ate lunch, ran with Donald, Daisy and Kirsten and then played with my remote toy car. After that I had dinner. Finally, I showered, got into PJ's played a tile game with Jennifer and Kirsten and I went to bed.

For lunch I made Ramen noodles.

After lunch. I went for a run with Donald, Daisy and Matt. I wore out Matt and the dogs. It was pretty funny.

For dinner I made this cassarole thing. After dinner Ben, Matt, Dad Jennifer and I played Rumikub.

That was really it.

Ben - Ben's Saturday Post

I woke up to the sound of a motorcycle. Suddenly, Jennifer came in saying if I did my stuff on time, I could go to the library with Kirsten. I hurried to finish. Sadly, I didn't have my blog written. Matt and Kirsten were the only ones to go.

Matt and Kirsten soon came back. I went downstairs to discover Matt and Kirsten playing cards. I got so excited, I ran upstairs working as fast as I could. I showered, played cards, got ready for bed. I played one last game before bed. It was called Rumikub. I lost and I fell asleep.

The End

45 min. later, I had FINALLY finished doing the last things. Next, I helped Dad put together a computer. After that, I ate lunch, watched Jennifer play on Marry Poppins and then ate dinner. Finally, I showered, played Rumikub with Jennifer and Kirsten and went to bed.

Kirsten Blog - Friday

Yesterday I really didn't do too much. I cleaned the kitchen and finished my normal list. That also includes taking care of the dogs.

Speaking of the dogs, Donald decided to chew up a pink pen and it turned some of his fur pink. It was pretty funny looking but not an enjoyable mess to clean-up form the carpet. The pink seemed to keep coming back.

Finally, that night we had egg-burritos for dinner and afterwards I played Rubikub with Matt and Jennifer. Then I stayed up to finish the kitchen and practice the piano. Instead I spent a majority of the time I was going to invest in those other tasks watching Jennifer play World of Warcrat with Team-Speak2 on.

Jennifer/Mom - Muffin Day!!

That was fun! We didn't like any of the holidays for yesterday so Chris and I invented one! Kirsten was making muffins so we decided to have Runyan Muffin Day!

I went to the store and picked up some more muffins. It was Chris' idea to include English muffins. Once Chris got back we decided to use the English muffins for Egg McMuffins. I also got cinnamon, raisin English muffins so we toasted those. Everyone had a job getting the McMuffins prepared and we ended up with a pretty cool assembly process. A few glitches happened but overall it worked well.

We had an afternoon of reading which was nice and relaxing for the boys. I started reading "A Series of Unfortunate Events" and then Kirsten read Pinocchio (the "real" story).

After dinner we decided to play a game. Apples to Apples was chosen but we re-named it for the occasion...Muffins to Muffins!

Jacob - Making the Muffins

I woke up and I did my list and I ate breakfast. I had cereal with bananas for breakfast. Last year Jennifer made cereal with bananas. I liked it, so now I make it that way when we have bananas.

Then Kirsten, John-Michael and I made muffins. Then we ate the muffins. We read stories. We read Jennifer's story and Kirsten's stories. Then Dad was back.

We celebarated Muffin Day. We had a party and then we played Muffins to Muffins while I was waiting for bed time. And then I went to bed when it was bedtime.

The End
