Archery (Nicholas)

Matthew and I are finally going to get our longbows that we have been wanting forever! The idea to get bows was mine since I took archery at a place called King`s Nock and liked it. But if anyone wants to take archery, DONT TAKE IT AT KING`S NOCK!The teacher is really mean and makes up dumb rules! It`s best to just buy one and teach yourself!

This picture is me at age 3 in VT at my grandparents' house. I was into archery even then but had to make do with sticks.

L.O.T.R Diaries (Daniel)

For writing we did diaries of people in Lord of the Rings. I did one on Sauron titled "The Journal of Sauron the Great."Nicholas did one on Saruman and Matthew did one on Lurtz. It's fun to do stories from another point of view, especially if it's from the point of view of a villain!

To make one I typed it out in a funny font(like this) and printed it out. To make it look more convincing, I took some black paper and crumpled it up to make it look like old black parchment. I used this for a cover. Here is the finished product:

New Bloggers! (Bridget)

I've been so inspired by all the blogs I've been reading lately that I couldn't wait to start one for our family. Actually, Daniel has taken on the task of getting us started but has graciously allowed me to post this entry.

My intention for this family blog is for us to post the goings-on of our family, of course, and for the kids to have a chance to post about things they're doing or learning about. We just bought a new camcorder so we'll make good use of that on here as well.
