Cousin Sleepover

Tomorrow Leah, Elizabeth and I are going to our grandma's house with our cousins. We are going to sleepover by the Christmas tree. We are going to watch Megamind. We sometimes go in her hot tub when it is dark. Me and my cousin Laura usually run around in the snow after we have been in the hot tub then run back in the hot tub. I am so excited!!!

I will post pictures when we get back. It will be sometime this weekend.

Drama!!!!!

Last Tuesday I had auditions for Cinderella with Homeschool Performing Arts. It was a lot of fun. I am hoping to get a step sister or the step mother. The Musical is for kids ages 8-13. The Performance is in March. Rehearsals start in January. I will post who I am when the cast lists come out.


Good night!!!

Christmas Cookies!!!

Two weeks ago, our cousins and my Grandma came over and we all baked Christmas cookies. We made many types of cookies. They are: Peanut butter thumbprint, Chocolate mint thumbprint, M&M cookies, Spritz, Play dough cookies (have posted the recipe before, Also very YUMMY), Sugar cookies, and Oreo truffles. (If you would like any recipes just comment and I will try to do a post of the recipe. One of my all-time favorite kinds of cookies are M+M cookies. We usually only bake those at Christmas time but you can bake them any time of the year. Here is the recipe. They are very easy and taste very good.

M&M Cookies
1 cup powdered sugar

3/4 cup dates, cut up (Packed or Fresh)
1/2 cup Peanut Butter
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1 cup plain M&M's (Or around Christmas, Red and Green)
2 egg whites, unbeaten

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Mix together all ingredients
3. Drop by teaspoonfuls on a greased cookie sheet
4. Bake 12-14 minutes

Tip: The Batter will be very GOOEY and not very much like other cookie dough. (Because there is no flour)

Hope you enjoy!!!

A relaxing Sunday!

Yesterday evening we went to church. Leah and I served in Naomi's class. It was a lot of fun. (We go to church on Saturday instead of on Sunday) Then we ate dinner, put kids to bed and watched Kung Fu Panda! That is one of my favorite cartoon movies. If anybody doesn't know what that is it is about a panda and Kung Fu and being the dragon warrior and things like that. Today we had yummy pancakes and then relaxed. This afternoon we finished Kung Fu Panda and then i did a lot of reading! I love to read! We had a wonderful dinner.

Well that is all i can think about right now.

Bye,
Abigail

It's a Saturday!

Yesterday my sister Elizabeth went with her friend to a purity conference for the weekend. After we dropped her off we went to our friends house and played and had lunch. We came home and after like 5 minutes in the car Hannah was asleep. Our cousin came over (who is 1) and played and had dinner with us to give his momma a break. As I said earlier she is very pregnant. I will try to post tomorrow but i do not have things to post about usually and usually i do not have time to.


Till next time,

Vaction and Randomenss

Okay, so here I am. My Friend Alyssa, finally persuaded me to post. We have been really busy on vacation and such. My sister Elizabeth just did the "longest post ever" on it. After we got back from NJ we came home for one day to wash, unpack, and repack. Tuesday was auditions after that we went straight to our grandma's condo up north with our cousins till Friday. We came home and have been cleaning and relaxing all week. We were going to go to our grandma's condo this weekend but it got canceled. I will post more about our time up north later.

Please keep my aunt in your prayers. She is very pregnant and has a little boy. She is not feeling very good.

Till next time,

I still can not think of a name for my blog...

Today, we had co-op. It was supper fun! We get together with 3 other families and play and do English. We do it with the A's, the W's , and the S's.

Many of them do blogger so here are their blogs.

Elizabeth and Leah my sisters.
Erin, Alyssa, and Andrew W.
Austin S.
Jonathan A.

We had a water fight today because it was soooooooooooooo hot!!!!!! Just yesterday my dad picked up a kiddie pool for Naomi and Hannah. They loved it! We didn't have one and mom said that we should get one for the summer. It has princess on it. When Naomi saw it her eyes got big and said, "Is that for me?" She was so exicted when we told her that it was.

Sorry about posting...does anyone have any ideas for blog names...i am kinda looking if you have any just comment them and i will think about them...i am not saying that it you have an idea and you comment i will do it.

Well i hope you had a great day!!!

My New Blog...

Yesterday I started a new blog that's called A Girl's Journey with Jesus. Abby is going to remodel this blog and probably re-name it so that it is her own blog.... Well, that's all for now...

It's a Wednesday!!!!!!!!!!

I always like Wednesdays. I guess it is because we usually have a full day of school and then i feel like i actually got something done. But today was different. We had some good friends, the W's over and played with them this morning. We played a game called Bohnanza. Yes, it is a strange game about farming beans. It doesn't sound very fun but i will tell you that it is VERY fun. Then i got school done this afternoon. I actually got all of my school done from like 2:15 to 5:00. That is so unusual. I keep saying that i can't wait to finish school so that i can start it again. That might be because next year it is just going to be me and mom! Leah and Elizabeth will be doing High school and Naomi will be doing Preschool. I am going to be learning about Ancient History. (Greeks, Romans, you get the idea.)

Hannah has not been feeling good lately so please keep her in your prayers. Today she was very grumpy because it was raining and she could not go outside and blow bubbles (not that she actually does, but you know). She goes outside many times a day and otherwise she usually watches a video.

Well hope you have had a GREAT day! (hope nothing happened in Missouri) i heard that there was a tornado warning but i never did find out any more.

Abby

A Story, A Birthday, and A blog redo...

Okay...so here is the long overdue post that you have been waiting for. We have been CRAZY BUSY! The other day a dinner Naomi told us this story... Here is the shortened version

Naomi- "There are these Nar-nac Alligators that live in Australia. They live in the rain forests. They eat corn, grapes, peas, watermelon, and insects, oh and don't forget the green beans! They drink milk and water in sippy cups and eat the cups afterwords. "
I asked her- "Where do they get there milk? "
Naomi- "Well Abby, they get it from a cow. The cow just puts it in the cup for them."
Naomi- "They are red, yellow, and green but they look blue. They are very funny."

Well i should get to bed soon...i still have school this week but next week is the first week of Summer break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah!!!
This summer Leah is going to have her own blog...i will be renaming this one and it will be mine. When she gets her blog i will post a link and everything like that but mine will most likely not be redone for a while.

Also, last Friday was Leah's birthday!!!!!!!!!! She is now 13!
I will try to post this weekend as it is going to be Elizabeth's birthday and she is going to be 16 on Saturday!!!! I wanted to let you know because i am not sure if i am going to have time to post.
You will probably not see any more pictures for awhile because i don't really take the pictures, Leah does, but she will post them on her blog.

Well have a good night!
Abby

Everything

We have been busy lately between a VERY fun trip to Missouri, soccer, gymnastics, a visit to Camp Roger, school, cleaning, a birthday party this weekend, and life. It seems as if everything is a blur. Lately I have been really noticing God's handiwork through all the new life this spring. It seems like everything is just praising God. It reminds me of Psalm 150.

Praise the LORD
Praise God in his sanctuary;
Praise him in his mighty heavens.
Praise him for his for his acts of power;
Praise him for his surpassing greatness.
Praise his with the sounding of the trumpet,
Praise his with the harp and lyre,
Praise his with the tambourine and dancing,
Praise him with the strings and flute,
Praise him with the clash of cymbals,
Praise him with resounding cymbals,
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.
Praise the LORD.


It seems as if the psalmist is trying to get a message across to us... PRAISE THE LORD!!!

Randomness

Leah is the person to do the pictures and I am the one to do the writing. Except right now I can not figure out what to post about. I have been having trouble with that lately. I just thought of something. Finally! Today in school we were learning about china and Japan. Did you know that 1 out of every 5 people are Chinese? Also, 1 out of every 6 are Indian?( I mean India not Native Indians.) Japan has so many earthquakes and tsunamis that the tsunami that this was pretty normal? I thought that that was amazing! There are also this people group in China that wear animal horns on their heads with dead peoples hair wrapped around them. Leah thought that it was very disgusting.

Singing

In our house almost constantly you will hear songs being sung. We are very big into the musicals and have a lot of CDs of musicals. Even Naomi sings the songs. Just now she was singing a song from Suessical but she only sings one line over and over. She is soooo funny. Some musicals that we like are: Little Women, Suessical, Newsies, Sound of Music, and others that i cannot think of right now. We own some musical CDs but the rest we get out of the Library. My sisters Leah and Elizabeth, play piano (so do i) so they get out of our Library musical song books and play them on the piano. I can play some of them but not all of them.

Weekend without Mom!!

I am trying to post more but the posts are turning out to be smaller when i post more. Sorry. So this weekend mom is going away with her sisters and mom to our grandmas condo to do scrap booking. Dad gets to stay home with all of us s!! We are planing to go to the zoo and go to yesterdogs and do other fun things. I can't wait. I will try to post later this weekend.

Spring Photographs!!!!!

Well, today I was able to get outside this morning and take some pictures...... I really like morning much better than any other time of day....(it's also handy that morning is one of the best times for taking pictures), and I personally think that sometimes everyone needs to get out of the busyness of life- homeschooling is the main thing for me- and spend a little time with God outside. Anyway, thought I would post a few pictures....



Leah

Lent

For the past couple of years our family has fasted something during lent. This year Elizabeth, Leah, and I are fasting Lunch, Dad is not fasting, and Mom is not really fasting anything.(She is fasting Sweets and Dairy but that is because she is having allergy problems.) Which means that from 10 to 3 we do not eat or drink anything except water. The time that we would be eating lunch we are doing devotions and having quiet time with God. Also, our lunch money is going to go to 2 different places. One is Christmas shoe boxes and the other is Mission India. We are going to make some exceptions with eating lunch.

What I want to be when I grow up....

The other day Naomi and I were outside- I asked her what she wanted to be when she grew up, and she promtly replied, "a jester.." a second later she said, "what is a jester?" lol! Sometimes little kids can be so hilarious!!!!! My mom always reminds me that when I was little, I always said that I was going to have 23 kids..... hilarious!




Leah

Life.......

Naomi's birthday!!! :)

Naomi's birthday was December 26 and i looked a realized that i never posted about it. She is now three. It is hard to do school when she is in the room and is a lot more active. I will try to post some pictures later of Naomi's birthday party.

Snow!!

I am sorry that we have not posted in a long time but with "Meet Me In St. Louis" our life has been busy. After the show was done, Elizabeth got sick but now she is better. We have a huge a mount of snow at our house. In some places the snow is up to my waist! But there are many drifts so all of our yard is not that deep, but Naomi (who is 3) kept sinking in. Thankfully we did not loose power in the storm. What also takes up time is school. I usually get done at 3 or 3:30 and then i have free time till 5, but today we went outside and shoveled and then played in the snow till 4:45.

I hope to post more soon.

Winter pics

I took some pictures of the snow...... here they are.
