Got a Clue?

I'm just starting to get sick of this game as we have played 3 games today. I guess I have some sort of talent cause I have won all the games so far today. (Yesterday this was not the case.) It seems as if Mrs. Peacock has done the murder half the time.

Today is so far the first day that no friend has called and asked to hangout. It sort of nice because I had to turn down two yesterday. Before yesterday I had been to friend's houses three days in a row. I really like going places I was just ready for a break and I admit it was nice.

Mom just finished her puzzle after working on it for a couple days but did help her by putting two pieces in. I guess that means I did 1/500th of the puzzle.

State Fair

Yesterday our family went to the state fair out towards Syracuse. We all got up early, hopped in the car, drove for several hours and successfully beat the crowds. We had a lot of fun.

We started out with the cows. There were so many I wonder how the judges pick from so many. While visiting the calves two boys brought out bottles so we could feed them. Audra discovered her true talent in feeding calves.

Apparently the sheep at this fair wanted to protect their identity so we decided not to pry too much.

Mom and I saw one the goats doing this and thought it was quite funny. I guess he just needed a little boast from his friend.

After visiting the Animals we went over to the ride section. After Alicia and I had both rid a ride, we discovered that Mom had accidentally dropped the tickets. Oh well the ride section was never my favorite part anyway. We ate lunch instead. I certainly had my share of bacon yesterday. I had a bacon burger for lunch and a BLT for dinner. Personally, I liked the BLT better.




Every year a artist makes a sculpture out of butter. It was pretty impressive let alone that it was made out of butter. This is this year's butter sculpture. It was quite amazing.

Just like the Butter sculpture a sculpture out of sand is also made. This too is amazing. The picture is of only part of the entire sculpture. There was also a ship and a rowboat to the right of Poseidon and both had pirates in them.

Overall we had a lot of fun. I took a lot of pictures and would have taken even more if Mom and I hadn't thought we had lost the camera. Luckily dad had it. We finished off the day with some soft ice cream. Yum!

$100 Calculator. Yikes

Today, Mom picked up my calculator that I needed for Math. It costed just under a hundred dollars because I needed one that was higher tech since I am taking a 9th grade math course or Algebra 1. I'm not so sure yet what made it cost a 100 dollars compared to the regular 15 dollars. I wonder if all the teachers sat together and tried to figure how to make it as difficult as they can for the kids. We never even use half the buttons on the device. Like for instance, I don't know what the tan, the sin, or the cos buttons do. Oh well maybe I'll learn about it this year.

Extreme Makeover- Home Edition

Extreme makeover came the other day to a neighboring town near us. Today we went to see them as they were demolishing the barn that was near the house. I took all the pictures as Mom talked with a stranger about how their houses need extreme makeovers. I certainly can not disagree with Mom there. The old house is still standing and the extreme makeover team is planning on demolishing it tomorrow. We didn't see anyone really famous but it was still see construction workers (who all had "extreme makeover: home edition" logos written on the back of their shirts) running around. However we did see a guy that was the location manager and he came over to the crowd and was talking to my dad. He explained that Tye Pennington was not at the house today because he was at the other house (supposedly they do two houses at the same time). He was interesting, however he was constantly interrupted with people trying to get a hold of him as he was talking to us. One of the times he got stop by someone who was on the wrong channel and was yelling at someone which he was very amused by.Here is the old house. It was in pretty rough shape and the roof looked like it was falling in. I'm not sure exactly when the show is going to premiere but I do know that it will be sometime in November so watch for it.

This really doesn't have anything to do with the rest of the post but what ever. My family was eating dinner when I asked Mom:

"Do you remember the time when you almost ran over Sherman's tail with the lawn mower and he ran all the way to Phoenix St."

"No." she replied.

" Good because it never happened."

That is a good sign has not gone crazy. At least not yet anyway. It will probably come before I know it. jk

Spray painting my dresser

Yesterday my mom and I spray painted my dresser

^This is before^

It was a nice dresser like that, it just looked like it belonged in a little girl's room.

^This is After^

We also had to change the handles so they would match a little better.

I won't be able to post tomarrow because I'm getting together with all my cousins. (rachel's and martha's kids)

Chillin'

Today was sort of a lazy day since it was the one day that my Mom doesn't have to clean a house (which she does once a week to bring in a little more revenue) or watch other kids.

Here is a picture of my sisters (the ones on the swings) and our next door neighbors, who often play with my sisters, on the swing set which hardly ever gets used anymore. They are also the kids my Mom watches on Wednesday and Friday.

Finnished Product

We finnally finnished painting my bed and it looks awesome. It looks a lot better then it did when it was white.

Spray painting

Today I am spray painting my bed with sam and my mom. It's quite fun.







The to pieces have a fresh coat of primer. The second one's only half done because we ran out and my mom had to run back to the store.





This is sam complaining because I accidentally cut him. Poor Sam.






Oh, and I ate a plum for lunch.

Crippled Bowling

Today, my family went bowling with some friends. All of us kids bowled while the Adults sat around and talked. Lately I have only been able to wear one shoe because my cast won't fit in a shoe. It was quite awkward when I got up to the place where they rent out shoes and only asked for one shoe. It's not that easy to bowl when your crippled. We went bowling with Sam, Jacob, Melissa (melimouse), Sarah (Sam's sister), my two sisters (Audra and Alicia), Jackie (Sam's little cousin), and Margret (Sam's other sister). Sam, Jacob, Melissa, and I were in one lane and Sarah, Audra, Alicia, Jackie, and Margret were in another lane.

The first game our lane played we played serious. The second we did wacky techniques like you had to bowl with your eyes closed or something like that. Most of us participated in that.

After that, we ate junk food at McDonald's to top it all off.

The second picture is a picture of the moms. The bottom left one is my mom, The bottom right is Melissa's mom, the top left is Jacob's mom, and the top right is Sam's mom. Melissa and Alicia are also in the background.
