Jacob - Country Buffet Party

I woke up. I did my list. I ate breakfast. I had cereal. I helped Kirsten do her jobs. I picked up the dog poops out of the backyard. I helped Kirsten do Kirsten's jobs again. I went to the Country Buffet. I got in PJs. I was still awake and I got medicine. I went to bed.

That's it.

Kirsten - Depressing Progress

Yesterday, Jacob and I made a lot of progress on his room. We cleaned out all his and Ben's papers. (Yes I mean Ben, not Matt.) I also cleaned the family room. I worked pretty hard on it but it doesn't look different. Oh, well.

John-Michael - Enchiladas

Yesterday I woke up. then I went downstairs to eat breakfast. After that my mom called every one to the livingroom then we started cleaning.

We cleaned the toy closet, the livingroom and the office. Then we went to see "Spiderwick Chronicles". When we got back we had Enchiladas for dinner and then we went to bed.

Kirsten - Not so big

Yesterday, our project wasn't nearly as big as cleaning out the garage. We cleaned out the toy closet. Now we have fewer toys than ever. We also finally (for sure) decided to get rid of the ROKENBOK. Which is good. No one plays with it. I thought maybe we could sell it, so I looked the price up. in order to buy every piece she did for us, my mom had to pay a minimum price of $250. It was probably much, much more. That was shocking.

I also made enchiladas last night. My brothers thought they were good, but I don't know.

I also woke up with some food poisoning this morning from something I ate yesterday....I have no idea what it was.

Jacob - Movie

I woke up. I did my list. I cleaned the toy closet. I wrote my blog. I went to the movie party. I had a enchiladas for dinner. I wanted to go to bed.

And that's all.

Ben - My day

Yesterday, I got up and worked on my list, then I studied my homework on Peru. Then I worked on laundry a little. Then we worked on Enchiladas for lunch.

We then worked on sorting the toy closet between choices for keeping, throwing out, storing, or selling the toys. Then I wrote a blog and took care of laundry after messing around for a while. After we finished, we went to the theater to watch "The Spiderwick Chronicles.

After the movie, we went to take the last toys to grandma's house. We had more Enchilada for dinner and I cleaned up the rest of the laundry. then I played Labyrinth with Dad and Jennifer. Dad won. then I cleaned up the kitchen, helped Kirsten find some stuff to sell and then I made cookies. I had one cookie and went to bed.

The End.

Matt - The Toy Closet

Yesterday, we picked out our toys for the toy closet. We each only got to pick 3 things for the closet. Each person got to pick three. I picked K'NEX, sticky blocks and Superman pinball. I put my favorite stuffed animal "Lion" into storage. Anything that didn't go into the toy closet or storage is going to the garage sale.

I cleaned (well sort of cleaned) the kitchen. For lunch we had homemade Enchiladas. They were the best Enchiladas I've ever had.

Our party for cleaning the garage was going to a movie. It was too late to go the day we did the garage so we went yesterday instead. We went to see Spiderwick Cronicles.

After the movie we had more Enchiladas for dinner and went to bed.

And that was my yesterday.

Ben - A big day

Yesterday, we had a big day. we cleaned up the garage. First, I started my list and homework. then I cleaned up my room and wrote a blog barely before we started. Then I had lunch.

I picked up the garage by moving stuff and organizing it. I also swept and took stuff to Grandma's house to have a garage sale there later. We put stuff back and had Bambino Burgers for dinner. then we got in pajamas. I played Go-fish with Jennifer and then I went to bed.

The end.

Matt - I don't know

Yesterday I started helping work on the garage. After a while I worked with dad on cleaning his office. Next, after dinner I was helping out in the garage again. Near bedtime we had finally finished. That was my long, long day!

Kirsten - Garage

Yesterday, we cleaned out the whole garage. That may not sound like a big deal, but really, it was. We took everything out of the garage and put everything on the lawn. Then, we went through everything. It took along time, and we got a lot of weird looks while we were doing it. We must have looked like red-necks.

At least we're done now. Yippee.

Jacob - Gold Medal

I got a bottle of bubbles as a prize for doing my list first thing in the morning and writing a blog. I like bubbles. So, I cleaned the garage and then we had to clean the front yard bacause all of the stuff that used to be in the garage was in the yard. So, I went to the Grandma's house. So, I finish cleaning garage. So, I got in the PJ. So I got the gold medal for being the happiest worker. I also got a giant bottle of bubbles. So, I got in bed.

That's all.

John-Michael - New Homes

Yesterday we cleaned the garage. We took everything out and worked hard to give them a new home.

Donald peeking into the room...."Can I come in?"

John-Michael ...Cont.

Sunday was a quiet day. We made tamales. I cut string while the others tied them together. I also got a giant Easter Egg full of candy from Mom and Chris. In the morning I did homework.

Jennifer/Mom - Posting again...

...Yes, we're posting again after taking a hiatus for a bit. Keeping track of everything certainly does keep us busy. I'll be posting some pictures of the first day of the Cleanathon and our Tamale dinner tomorrow.

Jacob – I ate 6 of them.

On Saturday, I wanted to go to the Runyan Spring Cleanathon! After we were done for the day I had dinner and then I went to bed.

On Sunday, I went back to sleep for a long nap. I did my list after I woke up. I helped Kirsten and Ben make dinner. Dinner was called Tamales. I had six tamales and corn on the cob.

While we made dinner mom called. I talked to mom but I didn’t get to talk to Andrew.

When it was bedtime I went to bed. And that’s all I had and don’t forget that.

Kirsten’s Blog:

Yesterday, we did homework throughout the day. This involved helping Ben make tamales for his Spanish project. The tamales took hours to make, and our mom ended up calling when we were in the middle of making them. At this point, Jacob had joined in the tamale making. Since Matt and John were the only kids not making tamales, they talked with my mom first. It was funny actually, John never talks to my mom.

The other thing I did yesterday was I moved all the furniture around in my room. It looks very different now. My bed is now on the other side of the bed-room. I also washed all my sheets. Which made it difficult to sleep last night, because my bed was wet.

Ben – Two day blog

For the Cleanathon Day 1, I started by working on homework, doing my list and ate breakfast. Then I set up the Cleanathon Banner. Then we had Bambino Burgers from Goodtimes for lunch. Then we picked up the front yard. The others pulled weeds and used the power washer to clean the front of the house. I raked the grass and leaves on both sides of the house. Then I got a turn on the power washer. Then we moved to the back where we picked up dog poo, rocks and a yo-yo I found. Then we got prizes for working and I got a medal for finding the funniest thing; the yo-yo. Then we had pizza. I studied a bit and then went to bed.

On Tamale Day, we spent the morning doing homework, eating lunch and breakfast and finding a recipe for Tamales. I had to make Tamales for a Spanish homework assignment. Then, Kirsten and Jennifer got stuff for the Tamales. When they came back Kirsten and I made Tamales, which were harder than they looked. Then we ate them and got ready for bed.

Matt – Something

Yesterday was really something. I made my bed. Then, I goofed around a little. After that I did homework. Then I did homework with mustard on top. Then, I did homework with ketchup and mustard. Then I did homework with mustard, ketchup and a cherry on top. Next I did homework, homework and homework.

Finally, we had a tasty home-made Mexican dinner.

John-Michael – Blog Posts…

First I did my list then I ate breakfast. After that my mom called me down to the living room. Then she said that we were doing a cleanathon and we were doing the outside first. I spent most of my time picking up trash and pulling weeds.
