First Day of School '07

The night before our first day of school the power went out due to a storm! I was on the computer, when I heard something almost as hard as rocks hitting our front door, so I went up stairs and was passing our front door, then the power went out!
So we were all very hot because we didn't have any air conditioning and we didn't have light or the radio to listen to the weather! Thankfully, my dad had a back-up battery in his radio so we heard that the worst was over!



And that ended it for the night.



In the morning, the power came back on! Yay! After breakfast, The younger children started coloring while, the older ones did a crossword puzzle.



We also made book markers with construction paper, stickers, markers, and different colored string.



Then came one of the best parts of all (at least for me, anyway!), the s'more pie!



Joy mixing the mix.



Nomi, sprinkling it with marshmallows!



And here are the final results!

And last, but not least, there was water balloons!
