Apples to apples story 2

One day some sailors were going camping. They were on there way when they saw some roosters on the road and decided to bring them along. What the sailors didn’t know was that one of the roosters got very car sick. So about an hour later the sailors heard a vomiting noise, and there was a horrid smell! The sailors pulled over, and when they did they saw a very car sick rooster and a lot and I say a lot of rooster vomit. Some of the other roosters where crying it smelled so bad. When they finely got to the camp sight and were setting up camp one of the roosters opened the box of sharp knives and  all of them fell out because the roosters knocked it over, and then the sailors stared crying and when the sailors got home and were with their families they declared it was the worst week of their life!!!

Appels to appels story

Once upon a time Abraham Lincoln was sneezing and coughing and hacking and he was hacking and coughing so hard he was vomiting! So you get the point. Well it was a Tuesday when he had gotten sick and now it was Saturday when his story really begins. Well it was Saturday morning and he could feel it coming on – he was going to have the biggest sneeze of his life! Well when he opened his eyes he realized that the blast had taken him to the bottom of the ocean! He saw something that made his mouth open (and you all know that wasn’t very nice). It was a portal but he had no idea so he just swam to it (but the problem was that it was in a sunken ship). When he had gone through the portal he found himself in the world’s greatest hiding place. Well when he had gotten out of that mess he wandered into a hockey stadium! Then he was so confused; and then he woke up and he found it was all a bad dream, but then his story started coming true.

How to get rid of little brothers

Step one: If He is bothering you say you will do what ever it is that he wants you to do with him later or when you are done doing what you are doing. But if he refuses say you will be right with him, and then very quickly you must do step two.

Step two: Now you must find some different reason why you cant do what ever he wants you to do. And if you are having trouble, here are some good ones: I need to go to the bathroom, mom needs me, I need to make a phone call.

Step three: Grab something to do and go hide in a room and quickly do whatever it is you have to do. When your brother walks in and again asks you to do something say you are busy. If you are having trouble finding something to say here are some good ones: pretend to read, pretend to do homework.

And thats as far as I can get you – good luck with your brothers! 🙂

very scary short stories

Once upon a time, a little girl called little Red Riding Hood was walking through the forest to her grandma’s house. Her grandma had a very bad cold and was stuck in bed. Little Red Riding Hood was bringing her grandma some bread and butter and tea bags.Little Red Riding Hood had reached her grandma’s house and went inside. Meanwhile a zombie had seen her in the forest and heard her humming, “we’re going to Grandma’s house we’re going to Grandma’s house today over the woods and through the stream.” So the zombie followed her directions to get to her grandma’s house and when he got there slightly before Little Red Riding Hood he ate her grandma’s brains when she was asleep and found a way to make himself look like her, and even I dont know how he did it. Well anyways, he was in grandma’s bed when little red riding hood came inside and when she did she was shocked at how her grandma looked. She stared asking questions like, “why is your skin so green?” And then the zombie ran out of answers and just ate her brains too, and lived happily ever after destroing towns and citys. THE END

They Grow Up So Fast

Elanor has recently started texting me (from her mother’s phone) while I’m at work. This morning I got this one from her:

“Dad this is ella what shall i eat love ella”

I told her to eat eggs. And I love that she said “shall.” Then, this afternoon, she sent me this:

“Dad this is ella i love you”

Which made me feel pretty good.

For some reason, writing this post made me think of this, which has nothing to do with anything:

DIY Laundry Detergent, Pt. 2

After a few preliminary test loads (some of the kids’ clothes, Jack’s sheets and blankets, some kitchen towels), it was time to put my homemade laundry detergent to the real test: a load of Jack’s cloth diapers. It wasn’t the most heinous load of diapers I’ve ever washed, but any load of cloth diapers is worse than pretty much anything else we wash.

I’m happy to report that it worked as well as the All that we used to use, and it may even have worked better. It certainly smells better – I was a little worried the sandalwood soap would give the finished product too strong a fragrance, but it didn’t. There’s a pleasant but not too strong sandalwood smell when the clothes come out of the dryer, but it doesn’t last.

The finished product, at least this time around, was pretty close in consistency to normal laundry detergent – slightly slimier, with a viscosity similar little-kid snot or pudding with too much milk in it.

I’m definitely going to be doing this again, and for the foreseeable future. It works as well as commercial detergent, it costs a hell of a lot less, and it allows me to feel superior to other people (but only as long as I don’t think about the Amish or the Minimites, because then I feel like a failure).

DIY Laundry Detergent, Pt. 1

A few months ago, I started making dishwasher detergent at home. It’s really simple: equal parts washing soda and borax powder, well mixed, with a few drops of essential oil for aesthetic value (we use lavender, mostly because we already had it). It works pretty well – maybe not as well as the Method tabs we were using, but it’s a hell of a lot cheaper.

Emboldened by this modest success, I decided to try making my own laundry detergent. The recipe I found is pretty basic: a cup of washing soda, a half cup of borax powder, a bar of soap, and 13 quarts (3.25 gallons) of water. It’s cheap, too – it works out to roughly 3¢ a load. Three cents!

I was going to splurge on a bar of Dr. Bronner’s soap, but I found a bar of Bee & Flower sandalwood soap on sale for 79¢, so I went with that – in the future, though, I may use some liquid Dr. Bronner’s soap, which we buy by the gallon, since I now have an idea how much soap to use.

Basically, you bring a quart of water to a boil or near-boil, mix in the grated soap, stir it until it’s a uniformly soapy mixture, and then dump it into three gallons of hot water, which you should have in a five-gallon bucket. I used room-temperature water, and I don’t think it made a difference.

After mixing the soapy water into the other water, you add a cup of washing soda, stir for a bit, add a half cup of borax powder (if you feel like it), stir some more, and that’s it. It has to “cellar” overnight, preferably with a lid on the bucket, and then it’s ready to use.

I just finished making it (took twenty minutes, tops – less time than it’s taken to write this post), so I have no idea what the finished product will look like, or how it will work – but I’m going to put it to the test tomorrow, and use it to wash a load of Jack’s diapers. If it can get them clean, it can get anything clean.
