John-Michael - The first day of school

Yesterday I went to school. I had a normal schedule and did my blog when I got home and for my after school snack I ate ice cream! April Fools!

I did have an after school snack but it wasn't ice cream. Jacob made us egg salad sandwiches with the leftovers from the night before and that's it!

Kirsten - A really clean room!

Yesterday I helped John-Michael clean his and Ben's room. Their room is really clean now, it just needs to be vacuumed.

Next I have to clean Matt and Jacob's room.

Yesterday my friend who's visiting Italy called me from Rome. It was really nice to hear from her. My other friend also called me and said he wanted to do something with my other friend. (Sorry, out of respect for my friends privacy I will not expose their names). We will see. We're still sort of doing spring cleaning.

Jennifer/Mom - Twitter!

You might notice a new addition to our blog! We added Twitters!

We found these a while back and decided it would be fun to add them to the blog. This way you get funny little updates in between the posts from the kids.

Hope you like them!

Kirsten - Pizza and Pretzels

Yesterday Jacob and I made pizza and pretzel dough. However, we accidentally mixed up the dough when making the pretzels and the pizza. It was still great making the food and it turned out okay. We even made a stuffed crust pizza.



While eating the pizza and the pretzels we watched a movie. I think it was called "It and Five Children". It was a weird movie, but it was really cute.

Also, a friend of mine from middle school found my e-mail address and now we have a means of contacting one another. Horray!

John-Michael - Two days in one blog...

Wednesday, I cleaned my room. I took everything off the floor and under everything and put it in four piles: not mine, trash, keep for Ben and keep for me. Then I put my stuff away.

After that we went to Country Buffet. I ate three plates of food, a bowl of chocolate covered pretzels and a cone of vanilla and orange flavored ice cream with four different kinds of sprinkles.

Yesterday I woke up at four o'clock am and went back to sleep for three hours. Then I woke up again at seven o'clock am and went down stairs to eat breakfast. I don't remember what happened next. But then we ate a lunch of cup o' noodles.



After that I had a rest, then I had another rest. When I woke up we made pretzels and pizza and we went to bed.

Ben - Combined Blogs

Wednesday I got up and did my list. Then I wrote a blog about movie day. After I wrote my blog, I made lunch which was PB&J sandwiches. Then I started cleaning my room. I went on a drive with dad. After the drive, I finished up the room. Then we went to Country Buffet. After Country Buffet, I read my book a little and then went to bed.

Yesterday morning I took Donald for a walk. Daisy couldn't come because she is in heat right now. John-Michael and I went together. When we got back I worked on my room until I ended up taking a nap on my bed. When I woke up everyone was making root beer and Jacob was programming on one of the computers. So then I wandered around and made pretzels for the party we had last night.



Then we had dinner while watching "Five Children and It". After that it was bedtime.

Matt - A Day

Yesterday we made and ate pizza! I did my list. Next, I started working on my homework. I read the whole time. Then I helped make dinner. At dinner we had pizza. It was GREAT! That was my yesterday.

Jacob - Our Lives

I woke up. I did my list. I ate my breakfast. I had cereal. I do my homework. I helped Kirsten make the banana bread. I went to King Soopers. I went to get dry ice. I made root beer. I helped Kirsten make pizza and pretzels. I made pizza and pretzels for dinner. I ate dinner. I went to bed.

That's all.



(Actually Jacob worked so well that he got to play a programming game on the computer...Here he is!)

Jennifer/Mom - My turn to post

Kirsten has been cooking today. The house smells great. She started with banana bread this morning. Actually the reason we had bananas for banana bread this morning is sort of a funny story.

Bananas don't last very long around here. I tend to buy them a little green or they probably wouldn't last more than a day. Two bunchs of bananas lasting three days and we are doing REALLY well.

At any rate, we went shopping sometime early January when it was extremely cold. When we got home everyone grabbed bags and took them inside. Somehow we missed the bag with the bananas. Three days later we discovered them frozen solid. We didn't want to waste them so we put them in the freezer just as they were.

Fast forward to March and there were bananas available for Kirsten today. Bananas don't hang around here long enough for banana bread otherwise.

Kirsten also used the bread maker and made pizza and pretzel dough for our party tonight!

Yipee!
