Okay, what do I write about? Let's see my week so far (and the week before.)
Last.... what day was it? Last Monday we painted the Den. It was kind of boring, by nature of the fact we painted it the same color after we stripped off the wallpaper.
Tuesday we did... nothing. Oh, no, that's not true. We had beautiful, lush, berber, green, well, tannish with a green hint carpet installed. Too many adjectives. We cleaned up after the men left and just walked on the carpet as much as possible.
Wednesday. Nothing. Quite a boring day, nothing really happened. We did a little bit of school, everyone worked in the den, and caught up in school what we missed the day before...
Thursday - After Katie left for Grandma's house, the furniture came. It's beautiful! A rich honey maple that works beautifully with the yellow walls and green carpet. That night, we drilled (or Mom and Dad drilled) holes in the furniture where the plugs were. The next morning, us six kids found the furniture set against the wall, clean and empty.
Friday, Dad took off from work. Mom and Dad worked all day loading up the desks, and us kids got school off because it was the last day of summer break. Does that make any sense? Nevertheless, us kids did not complain. Then Beth and I thought of the idea of filming for our movie the next day. We convinced Mom and Dad to let us, then we did TONS of work to prepare. I mowed the lawn (a fairly large project) so we wouldn't have to do it the next day with the yard work.
Saturday. You guessed it! Yard work. We got it all done by 12:30. Mom even said we had to do a complete and thorough cleaning of the shed. I had to work very hard not to complain when she said that. Beth and I got started on the shed while Mom worked on the rest of the weeding. I'm not sure what Dad was doing... We finally got it all done and had a delicious lunch followed by the arrival of our cousins. After filming two scenes - it took 2 hrs. (?), we met Mom at a store after dropping off the Watts. I know you're getting bored. So-
Sunday was normal and fairly quiet, except after church, we went out to lunch for an end of school (now does that make any sense at all?) and a begging of the new school year with some of our friends, the Geyers, from church.
Monday. We went to our Church Labor Day picnic. It was tons of fun, but rather interesting, too. We played football with almost all the kids. Tackle football. The boys weren't allowed to tackle the girls, and the girls could tackle the boys if they wanted to. Mostly in the first game, the girls just watched the boys tackle each other.
Tuesday. Boring. (Funny, another boring Tuesday) no, actually. It was our first day of school! Yay!!! (JK)
Wednesday, we had science class with a girl from our church, and after finishing the rest of our school, all six of us kids went to the park and rollerbladed/biked for over an hour. And now I'm sitting here, at the computer typing...
Thank you for letting me bore you. (I do realize you only read that thank you if you lasted all the way to the end of the post.
Rollerblading. Rollerblading is amazing. (I am spelling that wrong some how)
I glide, I skate,
stretching my sore muscles.
I spin and push
the wind is in my face,
the sun on my back.
My hair springs lose
it has a mind of its own.
I turn around and go backwards...
I spin again.
right
left
right
left
I push and stretch
I spin. I miss.
I fall and the sidewalk
rises
to catch me
I land roughly.
my hands sting,
my knees ache.
I stand again.
I reach, I jump,
I soar, I fly.

boy the hammermasters get work done!
i like your rollerblading poem.
thank you, thank you!
Nice poem Michaela, expect it very hard to jump in rollerblade. Of course, I'm just being picky. I get the idea.
Well Sam, I don't know. Either we get things done, or we just have all the supplies and don't do it for ever and ever and ever . . . it sort of depends. We have been very busy.
Yay! New post! I liked it! I really like it when people just write about their everyday lives. Hmm, it's probably a good idea for me to do it some time. Maybe. . . *goes off to do something random*
*comes running back* I really like your poem! It really. . . *again gets distracted*
*puzzled* Hmm, talk about not focusing. I was talking about your poem, yes? It describes exactly what it feels like. I love roller blading!
Yay, my mom finally got around to okaying everybody's blogs on my computer & I can read your posts again....They have to okay every site that I go to because they put on a real annoying internet security thing.
And Lucy, when you said you had to do something random, would it have been when you randomly posted 23 comments on my blog? lol. =)
MJ that was a really cool poem! I liked that you gave a summary of your week like that - I'm gonna have to try that some time. ;)
Great post!!
btw, Lucy had coffee when she made all those comments. lol
MJ have I told you that I love your blog?
Lucy on coffee? doesn't that mean she takes too big bites of donut?
I do like the rollerblading poem MJ. very nice. I've always wished I could skate backwards. I usually fall flat when I try.
haha me too Anna. I've never tried because I know the out come.... my bum and the floor meet in a very untimely manner. ouch. :)
MJ! Will you make a new post and write about the party?!?!! Yes yes! That would be lovely!
okay, just give me a year or two, jk.
no, really, I'll try to get a post in before our vacation...
Hi Michaela!
Yes yes! Write about the party!
Oh you ARE going on vacation! Where are you going?
*does Pippin manoevre* where are we going? (Yes Sam, I know it's British spelling, 'cause British spelling rocks! Like, we're reading FotR, and I never even noticed that waggon is British and wagon is American. My mom thinks it's annoying. and yes I just had sugar).
Love the poem MJ. Keep it up! New post! new post!
I have to go...
says who?
