The rescue mission gone bad

Yesterday morning began like most mornings for us. The routine of us kids never getting up quite on time. Mom ringing the intercom a thousand times until every last one of us is upstairs. We read the Bible and Pearlkeeper got up to fix breakfast. Mom got out our literature book to read and while she was reading, we heard a loud bang at the window. We looked toward the window to see a confused looking cardinal fly shakily away. After eating breakfast, we heard the dogs barking so the boys went to check in out. They found the cardinal sitting on the ground with the dogs barking at it. Smokey bear picked it up and brought it in the house. He put it in a cage we have, and put a blanket in there with it. The poor cardinal looked very scared and he had a stick in his mouth. After about an hour he looked like he was getting over the shock. He was walking around and looking at us with interest. When lunch time came Mom had to go to town with Grandma and Lori. Sarah was dropped off for me to babysit. I brought her over to the bird cage and showed her the cardinal.She was thrilled and kept saying what sounded like "birdie". The bird ended up just falling over and dying. We couldn't figure out why, maybe shock or he might have broken his neck. After he died Smokey bear wanted to feed him to the cat. I was appalled and refused to let him. I think he ended up getting buried. Well, we had fun the rest of the day. Our friend who we hadn't seen for a few months came over and we played games and entertained Sarah. Here is a cute pitcure of her napping.

One More Blonde Joke

The other day, Mom & Pris went to town to get a few things and while they were out Pris got something for me. A little after they came back, while I was busy in the kitchen, she kept trying to get me to notice it by putting it closer & closer til it was right next to me and I still didn't notice. Finally, I was standing right over it and looked down. It took a second to register that it was actually for me, but when I did everyone started laughing at me for not noticing. It was a Mark Schultz CD I'd been wanting for a while because it has my favorite song on it 'Think of Me'. I thought of another blonde joke Kezzi should have added below.

How to give a blonde a gift:

You shove it right in her face, because otherwise she won't even notice(even when you put her name on it & set it right beside her. lol)

I guess I really am a blockhead after all:).

Anyway, I just got back from dance. I'm really exited about our perfomance coming up. It's a little bit scary that it's only in March and I have several new parts to learn, but I'm sure it will work out fine.

Tomorow, early in the morning, Pris & I are going to a dance workshop over an hour away. I also heard one of the teachers is really tough, but I hope it wont be too bad.

Well, I'll probably be posting again soon.

Well it looks like Pearlkeeper beat me to it and posted her painting. Here is a few of mine though.

I was inspired by Waterhouse to do this one. This was my art teachers favorite.

This is my most recent. My art teachers reaction to this one was "WEIRD!". I told him it was a fairy tale painting for TheLittlestPrincesess' room. He said "that's great! Put a scary painting in your little sister's room."

I'm terrible at still life and I pretty much hate this one:P This is the only one I've done in art class so far.

I sorta like unicorns and I've painted a few. This is kinda old but I like it so I put it up.

Update

Nothin' much has happened since we got home from the beach. I've been working on writing a book. I haven't gotten far but it's something to occupy my time. I've been visiting my Aunt Lori a lot lately and Joseph has been getting cuter every day. Monday I went with Lori to the hospital cause Joseph was coughing and choking at night. I went with her to help with Sarah. We ended up staying at the Hospital for almost four hours. They were running blood tests and he had to get an X-ray. It turned out he would be ok and but they gave Lori a breathing machine just in case. That night she was still worried so they brought him to the children's hospital. The doctor told them that he would admit him if he was just a little bit younger but he would be ok. He is doing a lot better now just a slight cough.

Us girls have been obsessed with painting lately. Pearlkeeper BLOCHhead and I started an acrylic class Monday and we think we'll like it. Mom and Pearlkeeper went to Hobby Lobby yesterday and came back with a boatload of canvas for painting. Maybe I'll post some of our stuff later. Mom is wanting me to do some fairy tale paintings for TheLittlestPrincess' room so I will have fun with those. At church I started volunteering and today I helped with the babies.

Life hasn't been very fast pace lately but I've been enjoying the peace.

We have been here for 4 days. Here are some things we have done.

We went to the St. Augustine lighthouse on the way down. Us kids got to go to the top while Mom and Dad stayed at the bottom. We thought the stairs were going to go on forever but when we got to the top there was an awesome view.
A couple days afterward we all walked about five miles in the sand to go see another light house. When we got there, there was a man made bay and we climbed on the walls. This is Pearlkeeper and I. Though it doesn't look like it here, the wind was blowing so hard I thought I was going to choke on my hair! On the way to the lighthouse we found this huge fish head just laying in the sand. That is Dads size 10 shoe next to it.


The next day we drove through the Everglades and I got to touch this bird.

The Holidays

I haven't posted in a long time. Sorry:) We have been very busy lately so here is the update.

Christmas

When Christmas morning 10:00 came around Uncle Kenny refused to weigh and handed Adventure Queen the money. Pearlkeeper gave him as a gag gift a box full of diet books and slim fast shakes with nasty looking veggies thrown in here and there.

Of course he had to shove some in his mouth immediately.

SmokeyBear got a German shepard puppy(as if we needed more dogs)and I thought he was going to cry for happiness.

The night before New Years Eve

Well Friday night Pearlkeeper, BLOCHhead and I brought the Matrix#1 over to Uncle Kenny's at about 10:00. We played cards till about 11:00 and then started the movie. After the movie we hung out till 3:00. Pearlkeper said randomly, "I want some pizza!" so Kenny said "Lets go!" and that was that. We showed up at Wal-Mart in P.J.'s except for Josh who had a black trench coat on trying to look bad. We were walking around Wal-Mart acting like dorks and the workers were already giving us suspicious looks when Kenny ran and slid on his belly. Pearlkeeper took off her shoes and slid in her socks and we slid in our shoes. After that we all went to the game area and played games for a while, then got pizza and went back to the house. We cooked the pizza and watched Rambo#1(Which I though was stupid!). We ended up in bed at about 7:00am.

New years Eve

We had a big party with family from MI and we stayed up that night till 4:00am playing Texas Hold 'em (and I won all by the way).

Now

We have been packing and getting ready for a five day vacation to the beach. It will be nice to get a break from the cold!
