As they say in france, where I am from.

On Tuesday of last week Alison and Sara and Rea went to see Wicked with Grandma and Grandpa Craig and Julie. They really enjoyed it. Rea said it was great!

Sara also finished all of her rise testing. She did very well and got good scores, so she is very excited about that. We will be making peanut butter brownies in celebration.

On Wednesday Mike took a half day off of work to work on the house with Grandpa mike. They got a lot of work done: they filled in cracks with the exterior of the house and started the blocking and built some framing that had been missed by the other guys. The house is still moving forward, however, it isn't moving as fast as we would have hoped because there's just so much to do. We are going to have to push back the four way by one week. That being said we are still making major progress.

For activity dudes we played various games outside and inside. The kids really enjoyed it.

At Young women's this week Sara wasn't invited because it was only for the old girls. Or as they say in France (according to Timmy) the oldie moldy girls.

Sara and Rea also went to a luau this week which was fun. The most noteworthy event was Alyssa covering herself in glitter. It was the main attraction as they say in France where I am from.

On Friday and Saturday Grandma Julie and Grandpa Craig invited our children and the Rogers children over to their house for a sleepover.

Timmy and Aelfric played together and had a lot of fun. They played aliens and talked about aliens and invented super heros and caught fish in the river and teased the geese. They also caught a gardener snake who was named Slippy the destroyer of worlds as they say in France where Timmy is from

Sara and Rea and Ellie went to the lake and watched some girls teasing geese as well, so it seems like teasing is in season right now.

On Friday Alison and Mike went to see the play The odd couple at the Off-Broadway theater. It was really fun, however, it wasn't really the normal Off-Broadway theater style play. That being said it was really funny and we had a good time.

On Saturday Mike and Alison worked at the house with Grandpa Mike and we finished up the blocking. After that we went to pick up the kids at Grandma Julie and Grandpa Craig's house and ate a dinner with them. They had a cake to celebrate Alison's birthday which was nice.

When we were driving home we saw a fancy gray car with a big radiator - it was like a cool car - and then someone was hitting the gas in it while hitting the brakes and burning up the brakes and it was all smoking and someone was videoing it on his phone and it was crazy. As they say in France I didn't like it.

Alison and Mike were supposed to have purchased ingredients to make Alison a special birthday dessert, however, we forgot.

It was a mighty duel.

By -
The date was Saturday, March 24th 2012. The weather was warm - unseasonably warm - though the sky was overcast. Two ancient foes faced each other over the field of battle. What led the world to such a place? How did history choose this idyllic spacetime coordinate as the unsettling scene of what was to follow? It must have been forechosen by the threads of the fates, for no mortal could have brought it about. One contestant in this battle was a human male - young, skinny, and unassuming. The other - an abomination from the outer reaches of the imaginable, composed of metals, polyvinyl chloride, and fibrous organic substances. The battle began in the morning, and lasted into the afternoon. First the rigid shell of the monster was extracted from the earth, and then the beast was attacked in it's own territory. The stump of a tree - long dead and rotting away was destroyed in the fight as well as a trowel. Cubic feet of earth were thrown up into the air by the wild swing...

To wrestle with a goat

By -
Andrea has been enjoying the spring immensely. She loves to spend most of her time outside (she would probably spend almost all of it out there if her mother would let her). She loves to break into the goat food and feed the goats and chickens. She was digging holes under the fence (not to get through (she knows how to open the door) but to use the dirt as play goat food when we don't let her get any more real goat food) this leaves the chickens enough space to squeeze under the fence and enter into our garden area. The chickens have been laying a ton of eggs. The black and white one lays one every day and the other two lay eggs on alternating days it seems. Lala has been still producing milk in decent quantities (it is too bad that we have to dry her off when we go to Japan, but I doubt that we will be able to find someone who is willing to milk her that entire time). Clarabel is still growing it seems. We are looking at getting a stud for her so that she can start produci...

A day to forget

On Memorial Day we had the traditional Memorial Day barbecue. We had 4 families over and it was super fun. I would call it an amazing success (even if Meowth would have called it a day to forget) On Tuesday we started to switch over to summer schedule. What this means is the kids can play outside as long as they want in the morning and then when they come inside they have to do a little reading or math. Next they take a siesta and do team clean, then they can have screen time to dinner, then we play outside to dark again. We haven't really gotten into it fully yet, so perhaps this week will be better. Tim has finally gotten through his level three book of his reading program, and to celebrate his hard work we got sushi and made tempura for Wednesday night dinner. A lot of the kids complained about the idea of sushi, but we got a coconut tempura shrimp roll from the local sushi place that is practically a dessert, and everyone who actually gave it a decent try liked it. Timmy insist...
