The end of September brought us cooler weather, less humidity, and a fun weekend. The boys went with Justin to the Father and Son camp out, while I took the girls for a Super September Sleepover. This is how the kids viewed their weekend.
Sleepover night
I had a sleep over party when the boys were GONE. The theme was S. Invited Belle,Livvie,Kirsten,Amanda,Britt,Elana,Karly,Hanna,and Kendra.
We danced and played a game called Mafia. Then we made stuffed pizza.
While our tummies were rumbling and the pizza's were cooking we played sticker tag. I was on the midnight dragon team we were against the Edwards we called them the Edwardian's. I only got 4 stickers. Then we ate skittles, starbursts and our stuffed pizza. We drank root bear and Sprite. After that we cooked marshmallows for S'mores and danced til we were tired out. Then we watched labyrinth. Then we all tried to sleep but Karly got sick.(because of too much candy.)In the morning we ate snake cakes. We played with scratch cards and we played with silly string, had a spa, and then they left.
Camp out
I went on a father and son camp out. When we got there we set the tent up first thing. Then we got the blow up mattresses and blew them up. I played with my friends. We took wood to the fire pit then they started the fire using matches and dried up baby wipes. The fire was huge. More and more people came. We roasted hot dogs and marshmallows. We went hiking and saw a jack rabbit. We saw a cave and a 6 foot deep pit. We went in the cave . We followed the trail and found a 60 foot deep ditch. There were 3 ditches. We kept following the trail and ended up at the camp. My dad told a story with a light up stick. Then we played with the light up sticks. We played hide and go seek tag. It was fun. We went to bed. In the morning we had egg sausage burritos. Then we went on a treasure hunt to find flags. Each flag had a word on it. All the words would make a sentence that would let you have an electrical toothbrush. I loved camping with my dad and I can't wait to go again.--written by E
I had a fun time camping. I went around yelling Mama, mama when it got closer to bed time. Before that I had lots of fun throwing dirt on the fire, it became more fun when others would tell me to stop but I didn't. My fingernails had so much dirt under them, it took mom a long time to wash it out. Dad was really brave to take me and I'm glad he did. (written for I, from reports of other campers)

Some old writings
Some time ago A and E wrote the following, which I just found while cleaning up. We are in the process of getting our food storage and emergency preparedness plan put together. It has involved sorting through items we haven't unpacked since moving into our new home. Although it is a long process of deciding what to keep and where to put it, I am enjoying the feeling of being organized. Even if it only last for a few days. The kids love opening up the closet under the stairs and seeing our food storage. We won't be able to fit a years worth under there but we definitely can get 3-5 months worth, more if we only eat rice for every meal.
I have a camera. It is silver. It is about 1 inch high by 1 inch wide and 2 inches long. On the front is says: Fujifilm digital camera finepix A120.
On December 18th I took it with me to England and back. I took 117 pictures (which by the way is the most it can hold). Oh, and it is battery operated. Today I finally downloaded all 117 pictures.
The pictures I took were about birds, my cousins (Rachel, Emily, Hannah, and Lizzy) and other sites. I love my camera so much.

Scout Camp
My favorite thing to do is archery at scout camp. We got to go four times in all. The first time I shot the arrow, I got two bulls eyes. Then the second time I did it I got two more bulls eyes. The third time I shot I got four bulls eyes and the fourth time I got five bulls eyes.
Behind the archery area there were bb guns. They were cool except that mine wasn't working. We also played water wars. It was where you would throw sponges at each other and you are behind a big piece of wood in the shape of a ship. The other team cheated. They walked right up to our ship and threw sponges at us. This was my first time to go to camp and I wish I could go again.
