The reason my blog is named "Don't Know" is because I don't remember what I did yesterday. I know I had a fun time with Battlestorm.

Jacob -"Fiddler on the Roof" was obvious
It was my fault to ruin the blog. I did watch "Fiddler on the Roof". "Fiddler on the roof" was obvious. So, I can't explain you. I have nothing to do to help myself. I am so sorry.

Kirsten- Bed-times :(
Well, yesterday I slept in-which threw everyone off schedule…oops. Which meant that last night I had to have a bed-time L. But honestly, I probably should give myself a bed-time; I still won’t like it though. You see I was tired from not sleeping. I hate sleeping. People waste half their lives sleeping. Anyway, yesterday, everyone else was grouchy too because they hadn’t been getting enough sleep either. Everyone went to bed earlier. Other than an early bed-time, I didn’t really do much yesterday…same old, same old. I did watch the second part of Fiddler on The Roof (which is an excellent movie btw). It’s probably an even better live performance. I also called my boyfriend, but that’s really it. I forgot to call my mom and ask her to send back my clothes. Oh well, apparently I can’t call her today either. I called and the number has been disconnected or something. I don’t know.
Matt- And that was my day
Yesterday, I woke up. And did my shower when it was my turn. Next, I did school. After that I did my jobs, I didn’t complete them entirely, so I got bread and water for lunch. Which we did have enough time. And then, what did we do next? I don’t know what happened, so I’ll just skip it. And that was my day.
Jacob- Time-out
I woke up in the morning. I took a shower, and then I ate breakfast. At the school, I got in time-out. When the time was up, I wasn’t in the time-out anymore. But it’s almost the end of our story. When I’m frustrated. And then, I have grain for lunch. And then I had peanut-butter and jelly sandwich for dinner. The end of our story.
John- A a B b C c
I woke up yesterday. Um, and I had cereal. And then we cleaned up, and then we did school, and then we did our jobs, and then we got out of school. And that is all I want to say.
Ben-In the “Pit”
Yesterday I got up and did my school requirements and did school. Then we did our jobs and watched some movies. Then we played “Pit” and did some other stuff. The end.
Jennifer/Mom - Waterlogged
Friday began with a phone call that the fountain had been soaped (again). So Chris and I changed the plans with the kids (which were to go swimming right after jobs got finished) and headed to the fountain to clean it all up. We formulated our plan as we went. We thought this time would go faster. Last week it took a while because we had never cleaned it up before.
I, of course, got to jump in the fountain and scrub the "ring-around-the-fountain" while the water drained. Now that Chris has figured out how to drain the fountain faster it is kind of a race to see which gets done first. Chris started draining the fountain and things were on their way. It is always funny to see how many people stop to chat while we're working on the fountain. Especially when we are fixing something inside.
So, as I am scrubbing around the edge with a deck brush in a pool of bubble filled water, within just a few minutes someone stops and asks if we were scrubbing/cleaning because the bubbles were there or if the bubbles were there because we were cleaning. No joke....that was his question. I told him, "Yes". Then after he gave me a "you really are a smart-aleck" look I elaborated further by explaining that yes we were taking advantage of the bubbles to clean but that no, we wouldn't have put bubbles in on purpose.
Well, after the pool was restored to it's bubble-free state and after we had fixed a few other valves, etc. we headed home. The kids had done their work and were so they finished their movie while I rested a bit and then we were off to the pool! It was fun. Needless to say, like the title of my blog, I was waterlogged.
Well, somehow I got behind once again in posting, although the kids have been writing. I'll post what I can find and we will move on from here!

Kirsten - Muppet Movies
Yesterday I made breakfast. But really nothing happened. We did watch some Muppet Movies.
Ben - I went to the store.
Yesterday I got up, took a shower, made my bed, got dressed and had breakfast. Then I threw a temper tantrum. Then swept and mopped the kitchen. Then I worked on my school work.
Then I went to the store with Jennifer. Then I went back home and then I watched a movie. Then we did some other stuff. Then I ate dinner and went to bed.

John-Michael - Super Target, Super Target, Super Target, Target, Target
Let's see...I went to Super Target in the middle of my school work. When I got back I did the 2nd period of my school work. Then I had dinner. Bologna Sandwiches.
That was my day.

Matt - Super Target
Yesterday I woke up. I saw Kirsten telling John-Michael...I mean I heard Kirsten tell John-Michael to get in the shower. Next it was Jacob, then me, then Ben. I did my school-work. But in the middle of my school we went to Super Target.
That was my day.

Ben - A week of wilderness fun.
On Sunday I went to the church at eleven-thirty. We got our stuff in the car and went to Peaceful Valley. Then I messed around until I went to bed.
On Monday morning I had breakfast. Then I went to Eagle-Bound I and learned about orienteering. Then I did orienteering again for Eagle-Bound II. Then I went to the lake with my swimming trunks on and learned the rules of the lake so I could get my canoeing merit badge. Then I did a swimming test to see how good a swimmer I was and passed it entirely. Then I messed around and went to bed.
Then on Tuesday I learned, in Eagle-Bound I, first aid and for Eagle-Bound II I won first place for an orienteering test. Then I did a canoeing lesson and there were these boys in a sailboat who were teasing the canoers, so one of the staff members said all the canoers could splash them. Then I messed around. It hailed really hard, then I went to bed.
To be continued....

Matt - Board Games
Yesterday I did my list and then I played. Next we played some board games for about two hours. Maybe half...maybe an hour and a half. Then next I went to bed.
John-Michael - The "toothless wonder" became even more toothless!
I went to J. W.'s house yesterday and I had a play day yesterday. I didn't get to do water balloons but I still had a fun time. My tooth was loose and I accidentally bumped it on something and it popped out.
I played chess with my mom with coordinates over the phone. I had a pirates of the Caribbean chess board. She had a regular board. We had to end in the middle so we will have to finished the game later.
That was my day.

John-Michael - A day with Mrs. H
I had a fun time yesterday. Mrs. H. watched me while my dad went to work. I watched a few TV shows and then I watched a video tape. After I watched a video tape I went to bed.
With Mrs. H. I had a snack and played at the center Then I played baseball then I played on the swings. The H's have an automatic pitcher in their backyard.

Jennifer/Mom - A point from a friend
A friend of mine recently made the point that eveyone posts but me and asked why? I responded that I post almost everyone else's posts so it seems like I post all the time. I agreed though that I probably needed to post some more.
Of course, as I said back when I was posting more often, I get intimidated by Chris' posts and then my self-consciousness kicks in and....well...."that's all she wrote"....quite literally!
Ok, so back to me posting about me. I got some board games and card games the other day and I have been playing them with "the boys" (including Chris). Racko is a fun one and Rummikub is one of my favorites. Soon I will break out the "Skip-Bo" cards and then next will probably be to teach Ben and Kirsten how to play Rook. I think they would like pinochle also. We'll see.
We also need to get back to doing "Chicken Fat" and the other line dancing songs we have each day. We had a good time when we were doing them every day. It was fun! "Go you chicken fat gooooooooooooo!"
I also read a science fiction book recently but I can't tell you anything about it because I'm not supposed to spoil it for Chris who hasn't read it in a LONG time. I liked it though. Maybe I'll pick up a Tom Clancy book next. There are a few of those around.
Ok, so there is a post from me. The next few posts will be catching up and then we will have the "regularly scheduled" posts for today.
Enjoy!

Dad - It's broke
It seems like everything has broken recently.
The wind blew a section of fence down that had rotted because the post's concrete was pored too low. Then the electric car had two batteries go bad. Then my computer's video cards died, followed by the motherboard. I bet the motherboard killed the video cards.
And the fan died on the furnace/air conditioner or rather it burned up. When I was checking it out I wired up one of the lower speeds and FLAMES shot out of the motor which was a pretty good indicator that the motor had gone bad.
We put a new post in and poured new concrete around it. I went through the electric car's batteries and found the bad ones and replaced them. It's back to its speedy little self.
After getting three new video cards (I use 4-6 monitors) and an overnight delivery of a brand spanking new motherboard my computer has been successfully resurrected.
Then Ben and I went to the heating/air conditioning supply store and bought a new motor. Jennifer helped me install it and we have air conditioning again. YEA!
So now it's time to fix the backyard's sprinklers and finish the tile in the bathroom.
There seems to be a pattern here.

John-Michael - Legos and Movies
Yesterday I had a fun time. I wrote a blog about church. I made a few scanners out of paper and I turned the table basically into a play arena of Legos.
I played with my dad a whole lot and we watched a lot of movies too. We also went down to the office to see if there were any packages. I went to sleep after we checked for the packages.
