I'M REALLY BAD AT THIS WHOLE BLOGGING THING!!!!!
Note: This post was written last night
Wow. I'll be shocked if any of you still even check my blog. I don't know what's wrong with me. Every time we have something exciting happen, I have every intention of posting about it..... and then i just never get around to it. But please bear with me, 'cause I'm going to try to post on a regular basis.
Right now while I'm typing this, (it's 6:24 pm) Jonathan happens to be on a sleepover at my Nana and Papa's house. Well, technically he's at Mckale center (the U of A wildcat's basketball court) getting ready to watch a game. My grandma gets season tickets every year, and then schedules our sleepovers on days so that we can go to a basketball game. It's a lot of fun. So, while he's there, Mom and Dad went on a date! I know for some people this is a weekly thing, but for my parents, it's about a yearly thing. (no, I'm not kidding) I feel so sorry for them. But with Dad's work schedule and Mom having all of us to take care of, (this is only the second time I've stayed home with both of them gone after dark) it was just not fathomable. But today they got to go!!!!! I'm so happy for them. I have no idea where they're going, or how long they're going to be there, but I'm glad they get to go.
Let's see.... not to many big things have happened to us in the month since I've posted, just lots of little things. Hannah and I started taking violin lessons about 2 months ago, which has been great. (have I posted about this before? I don't remember) Our teacher is so nice, and I love learning about the violin. So far I haven't really learned anything new about how to actually play the violin, because I already knew some about that. Most of it is technique. That's what Mom says is the most important part, and the biggest reason we're taking the lessons. I don't mind, because I look at it that the more she teaches me, the more I'll be able to teach the younger kids when they're old enough, because all 3 of them want to learn. I think Jonathan is the only one who doesn't want to learn. But he's got piano, guitar and banjo.
Part of the reason I haven't posted is because for 2 weeks this last month we've been at the farm, where I didn't have any internet access. But, while we were down there, 2 things happened. 1) Our 18 1/2 acres of weeds were cleared! So now, we only have very small portions left that Dad couldn't get to with the tractor. While we were there, we met this really nice person named Mr. Tingle who lives there. This is how you know you have really nice neighbors, when 3 days after meeting them they let you borrow a tractor! I was shocked. And so now, our property looks WAY better than it did. It's probably the most amazing thing I've ever seen. Dad spend all afternoon working on it, and cleared as much as he possibly could. His leg was killing him for 2 days after that, but he's fine now.
The second thing thing that happened was we had some wonderful friends out for the day! It was great. Jonathan and his friend Will went to the very back of our property to an old junk pile out there looking for things to build a fort, almost everybody went out skeet shooting, and we just plain had a blast. Unfortunately, I can't get pictures to load right now, but I'll try and post those again in the next few days.
Well, that's all for right now! I'll post something Thanksgiving-related tomorrow.
Love,
Kayla
