The Cabin Trip

so i'm finally back! yes! technology!! we had lots of fun up there! lol my mom is a bit crazy sometimes though. she tries to get us to do "projects" like dig a trench in hopes that one day we'll have a stream, or hike up the mountian at eight in the morning.

"mom, where are we going?"

"to the medow!! i went there as a kid!"

"when was the last time you went there?"

" well i only went there once"

"wait, i think i remember you telling me about this.
didn't you and all the cousins get lost for hours up here?"

"well....ya, but it's ok now, we won't get lost......."


anyway, the latest crazy "project" is going to home depot, (ahem I did the driving! on the freeway!! yea! go me!) to buy a flipping CHAINSAW!!! she wants to build life size lincon logs and put them together to make a little play cabin for the grand-children. if you've met my mother, CAN YOU IMAGINE HER WEILDING ROARING CHAINSAW?? honestly *shakes head*

so naturally me and hannah tried to talk her out of it.

c: mom we don't NEED a chainsaw!! we don't NEED to do this!! lets just RELAX!"

m: no, i've been thinking about getting an chainsaw for a while now. we need one for emergencies! like if we need to...dig ourselves out!!!!"

c&h: *snort*

m: well not LITERALY

h: what is this?? some kind of midlife crisis!!

anyway through all our very pursuasive talking, we could not hinder her. she was determined, and we got a chainsaw. then she put us all to work, finding dead trees in the woods, loading them into the wagon and hauling them back to the worksite. luckily, gerritt, my brother in law stepped in and did all the chainsaw cutting. and here's the finished product: hm actually i'll have to put up the picture later.


ok so i painted my finger nails like 5 different times, but just one hand lol, and i have myself a ped! it's really cure, and way girly. girlier then it's ever been before! like hot pink, with so many sparkles, it's blinding in the sun. this is worthy of barbie. anyway, i painted my fingers ranbow, then i showed it to tom, and asked him if he liked it. he scrutinized it for a sec, then frowned, and shook his head, turning away. he is so polite. NOT. but i forgive him. he doesn't know any better. OH another story of tom putting his foot in his mouth. so we are driving home from church, and there's this very pregnant woman walking down the sidewalk, and get this he yells out the window "wow! YOU look pregnant." WHAT HE THINKING!!?? luckily we made him go back and apologize. and it turns out that that day was her due date. *shakes head*

ok what else?? um, i learned waterfall by jon schmidt on the piano! and i'm going swimming today at steiner with sam, and anna (his little sis) and one of anna's friends, and my nephew max. it's going to be a blast.

OH and today i rode my bike to east, so see how long it would take me to get there, because i'll have to do that to get to practice in the summer, and i wanted to see one of my friends there. i waaaited forever! but they didn't show! so i decided if i didn't get back home soon, i'd be flayed by mom. then as i'm crossing the intersection i look back there, and they are just getting there! eeeerg!!!! but i just kept on going, so i wouldn't be flayed. *humph*


oh ad i wrote a poem up at the cabin, but it's not that good, and probably doesn't make any sense... i'll post it someother time though, because i have to get cleaning before mom comes inside from cleaning the garage and finds me on the computer.
