I got an owie on my finger. I don't kknow how it got there, and it is little, but it stings like MAD!!! I have finally mastered getting my rollerblades off without the sock coming out as well. Loosen the laces a lotget your heel ous as much as possible and then shake the whole thing off. Then stick your hand in the rollerblade and flatten out the creases in the sock. Piece of Cake. Shoes are getting less and less good these days, and more and more expensive. There is a new kind of shoe in town. It is a shoe with these rubber things between the sole and the actual shoe, and it is expensive. I don't even think that they are any good. Heelies. Heelies are a type of shoe that you can ride on as well as walk on. There are little wheels on the heels, so you run and then jerk your heels back and you will roll the rest of the way. The wheels can also clip in so you don't have to be riding on your heels all the time. But because there is a wheel in the heel the heel is really high up. I high heel for boys. What next. I don't know why I have a sudden interest in footwear.

Everest
The kids want me to tell you about our excursion to the park today which involved a stroll to the canteen. At the canteen the four youngest each ordered a kiddy ice cream cone. For each cone ordered they stamped our frequent-ice-cream-eaters card thus filling it up. The grand prize was a double scooper. Being the frequent buyer I decided that I should sacrifice myself and be the one to consume all that terrible fat. Katelyn ordered for me - cheese cake on the bottom; orange pineapple on the top. A student who we know works at this particular canteen. As he was putting this cone together the kids were marveling at its gargantuan size even when it was only half constructed. I commented that Jake, the student, could not make an ice cream cone big enough for me not to finish. This added fuel to the fire and the final product was Everest on a cone. By the time I got it in my hands, base camp two was already melting and I was experiencing retinal hemorrhaging. After being forced to transfer the ice cream into a bowl I needed to employ the services of Sarah to complete the Everest mission. Like most people who have attempted this climb, we both felt sick after. Fortunately there was no loss of life or limbs.
Men in Black
Today it was beautiful and sunny and 26 degrees (hooray!!). I wanted to go to york redoubt, but we had to go to the dingle park instead 'cause all the kids wanted to get ice cream. But it was ok.
Then there was a wedding there, so we talked to a bunch of people that were going (before it happened obviously.....haha, here's a question. Do people talk during wedding ceremonies exactly like they do during a boring sermon at church?) Anyway, then Sam, Mom, and I stuck around and watched a bit. There were 40-50 empty seats - whole rows. Maybe they were for the bridesmaids and the men in black because there were seven of each! (What are the men in black called anyway? Groomsmen? That sounds really weird.) The guy who was marrying the couple was very pompous and reminded me of the guy in the Princess Bride, except not quite so entertaining. Sam wanted to sit in the chairs, and when Mom said "No" he pressed his case by telling her that small boys were allowed at the wedding, because those small boys (the boys in black) were there. The small boys in question looked rather bored, and one of them was trying to climb a large maple tree.
Anyway, eventually we had to leave........

Saturday
It is a nice summer day. It is a nice summer Saturday. Katelyn wanted to know how here rollerblades felt on me. Frankly, I wasn't used to it. I had some smooth trouble. I didn't fall but I felt uncomfortable because there wasn't a sock in the roller blade. It was a sock free rollerblade. The sock in the rollerblade is sort of like a cushion around your foot that you where in the rollerblade. The sock consists of the rollerblade tongue so without the sock, you would fall out of your rollerblades onto the hard pavement. Also without the blade sock you will take your rollerblades off with an extremely SORE foot, So Katelyns rollerblades didn't have a sock. But it did have a tongue. Rollerblade socks can be pretty annoying sometimes though. When you take your rollerblade off, the sock usually comes out as well and you need to take the laces out of the roller blade put the sock in and then put the laces back on. There are about fifteen lace holes in my rollerblades per side. Then finally when all the work is done and I am about to go out rollerblading. I get called for something like lunch, And I don't want to take my rollerblades off because The sock will come out again, so the result is me rollerblading around the house.
Yeah it's pretty nasty but I end up going outside to rollerblade.

I past
Hey today was the last day of swimming lesions and I past.But I mite not see my friends any more.
Iv got to go
Iv got to go
Dewey's Tree House
So I saw the little contest that "Dewey" made, but frankly I can't guess a single thing. I don't read those kinds of books. So I have decided to set up a contest right here at the abarbablog.
Rules:
Abarbanels do not participate in these books
Do not google it
If you want you can ask your local librarian
If nobody has guessed anything until July 31 then I will set up hints
Books
1. Yes, there is heaven. Certainly Tony is there now. He would have to settle, though, for what he got. And what he got was a gentle summer night, a hollow place inside his gut that felt as though it might never be filled, and this man, his dad, who sat beside his bed. "Will you stay?" he asked, reaching a hand out tentatively to touch his father's knee. "Will you sit with me until I fall asleep?" "Of course," his father said.
I had to cut a bit out of this ending
2. And one week later, on a nice sunny afternoon, a man called fred came round to read the gas meter. When nobody answered the door, Fred peeped into the house and there he saw on the floor of the living room, two bundles of clothes, two shoes and a walking stick ******************************. And everyone including Fred yelles: Hooray!
3. In that other Oxford where she and Will had kissed goodbye, the bells would be chiming too, and a nightingale would be singing, and the little breeze would be stirring the leaves in the Botanic Garden."And then what?" said her daemon sleepily. "Build what?" "The Republic of Heaven" said Lyra.
I am only doing three.

About a sniffer doodle problem
Dan, your sniffer doodle story made perfect sense to me. Or, well, at least as much sense as Dr. Seuss.
Recently we got a few big garbage bags of hand-me-downs. Normally we don't get stuff for someone as old as me, but these hand-me-downs were different because in all there were in those garbage bags was ROAD HOCKEY EQUIPMENT. Helmets, and goalie pads, knee pads, and roller blades. Lots and lots of roller blades. We haven't had roller blades in a while (they were a trend around house for a while, but I think we just kinda lost interest). Anyway, the interest is again peaked. So Dan badgered me all afternoon to go out rollerblading with him. I finally came, and put on the roller blades. I haven't roller bladed in about 2 years, and these roller blades had REALLY NICE wheels. The kind that glide over the asphalt without making a sound. The almost-frictionless kind. So I was led out there, and discovered, upon trying to go down a hill, that these wheels had less friction than I had hoped for at that moment, and I was going very fast. I didn't fall, but I didn't go down any more hills either and after about 15 minutes my feet hurt, and I decided to go in. Dan willingly tried on my almost-frictionless rollerblades, and I still have to find out how that went.

Questions Answers
Aimee asked what filterkeys was. Holdin down the right SHIFT key for 8 seconds turns on FilterKeys. FilterKeys causes Windows to ignore brief or repeated key strokes and makes it so that you have to hold down for instance the letter d for like 4 seconds before it responds. To make a long story short, it would take you abour four hours to complete a sizeable blog with filterkeys on.
About my last blog
Mom said it didn't make sense. I said it wasn't supposed to make sense. Here is a question for everybody. Did Dr. Suess make sense? He was a great writer for his imagination but, did he make sense? Or do we just try to weed out the sense in his story? Of course, Mom didn't weed out the sense in my story, so to her, it simply didn't make sense. Dr. Suess made some great storys, including The Cat in the Hat, The Zax, The Sneetches and How The Grinch Stole Christmas.

The SnifferDoodle Problem
One night in the depths of a flower there in a town filled with scrutatous fumble-jumbles and Tamper-Gampers, though the Fumble-Jumbles and the Tamper Gampers were not the rulers of the town but quite different. This Town was run by the SnifferDoodles. The SnifferDoodles looked a lot like a Freeble Flazer but had green wings and four horns on the head. The Fumble Jumbles Looked quite the same but were much much bigger. The Town was called Abandamania. The Tamper Gampers, were even bigger than the fumble jumbles, although only the size of a tiny ant egg. Now in the world called earth that we live in. The larger you are the stronger and better you are. In Abandamania The Smaller you were the better you were, which gave the Snifferdoodles the reign of power in Abandamania. The Snifferdoodles have nice names but they were even meaner the the dangerous Hornozee (in our words the bumblebee). Us humans would matter nothing to the snifferdoodles as we are so big. But you see, the fumble-jumbles wanted power over the SnifferDoodles and the Tamper Gamper's wanted power over the Fumble-Jumbles even though the SnifferDoodles had power over them both. The King of the Snifferdoodles, loved watching fighting so, he decided that the to larger races should go to war. And because the Snifferdoodles were so small the other two races had to follow his orders

What to say
Today was pretty uneventful, we woke up, had breakfast, went to the beach, had swimming lessons, played around the beach, went home had lunch, read a little, and so on. I am almost finished the 6th Harry Potter book (I am going to be having nightmares about werewolves), which was pretty good. Filterkeys is annoying. I accedently turned it on right now and it took like five seconds after I typed the word before it responded, So I had to dig into the bowels of the control panel and put it right. Man oh man.
I am really tired. I also have a headache. It started whem Matt and Sarah had a fight on who won the dinky race and Matt was screaming as if he were in a mortal contest. Nasty

Blogger is weird
Ok, so I was trying to log into my account so I could blog. I put in my user-name, typed my password, and pressed enter. Up popped a page that said "Your cookie settings are not as they should be" (or something to convey the general idea). So, I went to the blogger help page to figure out how to fix it. They gave you a bunch of instructions about what things to enable under "internet options". I checked, and they were already enabled. At a loss for what to do I tried to sign in again. Lo and behold - it worked!! So I wasted five minutes.
In other news, our house is being overrun by bugs. Today I squashed 15 ants that were on the floor with my fingers. The last time I took a shower I looked down and saw an earwig walking into the drain. Then I looked up and saw a spider on the ceiling. Then, the next day, I was leaning over the sink in front of the mirror brushing my teeth. All of a sudden I looked to my left and there was a spider. My first thought was that it was hanging of the ceiling, but NOOooo, when I looked closer it was actually hanging off a piece of my hair. Understandably I am no longer scared of any bugs that won't bite, sting, or poison me.
Apparently it is impossible, when outside, to be more than 3 feet away from a spider. I don't know about a field of cement, or a lake, or a desert, but that seems pretty plausible. What do you guys think?

mr. led (Hans Solo's real identity)
This is Matt. I am going to write six question marks. They mean a word. If you guys can guess the word you will get a little art set from the dollar store. I have 4 of them so there can be 3 winners (because I need to keep one for myself). Here is the word: ?????? Now you have to write in the guest book your guesses are. So this is like Hangman - you just have to guess letters and I will reveal if you got a letter correct. <><<><<><<><<><<>< Every time you guess a word right a fish turns over into the letter you got right.
Today I had an accident when I was doing somersaults off the top of our exercising ball. Well I hurt my neck. So we put some ice on it and I stayed on the couch and lied around. I told lies too. (Just kidding) Dad read a book to me called Ralph S. Mouse by Beverly Cleary. The "S" in Ralph S. Mouse stands for "Smart". Then I took a nap on the couch all the way to supper. While I was sleeping Katelyn picked me up and held me in her arms. Then when it was supper she woke me up and carried me to the dinner table. We had chicken noodle soup. It was good. After supper I took a bath & Mom brought me home some yummy orange medicine. Well this morning I went to the dollar store with Dad. I got some dinkies for Sam that were all army machines. There was an airplane, a ground-to-air missile rocket, a tank, & 2 army trucks.
There is something going on. It is called the Summer Reading Program at the Library. I am already passed my goal. I had a goal of 6 but I got mixed up with Dan's goal of 12. I think I read 9 or 8.

Water....
It's been really hot these past few days. Admittedly, not as hot as Ontario, but when it's 21 degrees but 'feels like 32 with humidity' (and it gets very humid in the maritimes) it's a scorcher. On these days it is always completely or partially overcast, and you can feel the sweat dripping off your back. Almost nobody in Halifax has A/C so after about a week or these REALLY HOT and HUMID days Dad begged for a fan. So Mom went to canadian tire to buy him one, and they only had 3 fans left!!! Can you believe it?! They sold out of fans. I guess Haligonians don't have A/C or fans. Wow. It reminds me of the time after Hurricane Juan when we went to Canadian Tire to get a Hurricane Lamp, and they were sold out. Hahahahahaha, We actually went about a week and a half after the hurricane - no trucks were getting through, and besides, nobody had power, so they all needed hurricane lamps. What were we thinking........
I finished the new Harry Potter book yesterday. Dan has been reading it now since he got up - about 3 hours. I'm going to check how far he is..

Schroeder
There's this kid at soccer whos name is Daemon, but his Dad calls him schroeder. It's not a particulary relevant piece of information, but I think it's a cool name, plus it makes a great title.
Anyway, it's been a while since I blogged. For a few days now there have been random bits of information and interesting stuff going through my head. Every time I think about one of those things I think "I'll have to blog about that". So far I haven't, and now I can't think of a THING to write about.
Actually I can think of one thing. Dan is quitting soccer. Actually he is just quitting one team. He didn't like the coach (and neither did a bunch of other boys (and girl) from the team, so he isn't the only one who's quitting. The coach's name is Tiree, but we call him Tiree the Tyrant. I'm actually pretty happy about it, because the only person he isn't REALLY mean to is the goalie. Plus that means I'll get to join the team (of players who quit) again under our old coach.
Anyway, one of those other pieces of info will surface soon, but for now I'll sign off........

Holiday humour & highlights
OK so we are back from vacation deep in Quebec. We had some fun with speaking French. I am really good at French actually. It is amazing how far you can go with oui/non/bon journee & c'est tous. I also speak very quietly so people don't actually hear what I am saying. Ron forced me to ask for a "tarte framboise". He said I talk without the connecting words. In English it would be something like, "Please I buy raspberry pie?" Dan wanted to buy some raisin bread so I told him how to ask for it in French. He did very well & the boulangerie (bakery) owner understood completely. Dan walked back to the car & said, "I had a terrible stomach ache when I had to speak in French. Now I know how the Chinese feel (Mainland Chinese students from the university that we are helping with their English). I came back from the Laundromat (lavoir) one day & told Ron & his brother Gil that my French had failed me. I had walked into the Laundromat to see an older man taking my laundry out of the machine. Specifically I noticed he had his hands on my underwear. But I used my trusty French once more. The man nattered on for 2 minutes in French. I answered "Oui", coldly, yet quietly. He could have been saying something about wanting to wear my underwear & I gave him permission. I'll never know. I also developed a bit of a relationship with a woman who worked in the local depanneur (corner store where you can buy beer & fireworks & certain magazines &, of course, cigarettes). Again I was buying a pie (Gil pointed out that the cottage was never without pies which was my doing). I couldn't remember how to say pie - so I asked her & she said, "Tarte - like her" - pointing to another woman who worked there. She was delighted to find out you could also call a girl a tart in English. I'm so glad to expanded her knowledge of English - I guess.
Another highlight was a visit from Ron's sister Yael (pronounced Ya-el). She brought very lovely books for all her nieces and nephews. For Matt she brought "The Mouse and the Motorcycle" by Beverly Cleary - & then she read a good bit of it to Matt & Sarah while sitting by the lake. She also took the kids fishing. Our kids just fell in love with her - especially Sarah.
Matt had a grand time. He decided to count to a million but was quite satisfied when he reached 1600. Every few hours he would give us an update. He also decided to re-brick the cottage which he did. He went fishing with Ron & caught a tiny, yet delicious fish.
Today at lunch I told Sarah she was very pretty. Sammy said, "am I pretty, Mom?". I told him he was handsome - boy pretty.

More swimming lessons
So today we had swimming lessons. Boring. Didn't do much, except for the swims that get water in your mouth, and I little bit of diving. And a little bit of treading water. Yesterday, when we were treading water, Jonathan said: "wouldn't it be funny if a dead body just floated up right in the middle of us?" Julia and Laura said they would probably scream. Jonathan said he would poke it's eyeball. So ever since, whenever the teacher says when you go under don't touch the bottom where the jaggedy rocks are, one of us says: "or a dead body".
So I have a game tonight against Scotia. They beat us last time but I wasn't there. We have to go to Sackville, which is pretty far away. Anyway, got to go do a report on fire. see ya soon!!!!!!!

I have swimming lessons at 10
Yup, that's right. Swimming lessons at ten. My work with a keyboard is a bit faulty cause I haven't used one in three weeks. So after I swim I have to get a good rest because I have a soccer practice tonight. Katelyn is goin over to Tim's with Anna (don't ask questions). I can't wait to swim. It is a warm day. Very warm . So we got new lifeguards who teach lessons. I don't know who is teaching me, where normally I would. Freaky, it shall be.
Will blog more, I don't have much to say right now.

So....
..Blogger has finally updated out blog stats, and it turns out that there are 952 posts on this blog!!! That's right - only 48 more and we are at 1000. Maybe we should have a party....
It was sunny all day today and now it is getting kind of cloudy - which is actually pretty good because it was really hot, and the UV was 8; REALLY high for Nova Scotia. Still, I will miss the sun.
I feel really uninteresting today, so maybe more some other time.

Misha, My Oldest Cousin
So, while we were on holidays, during one weekend I played a game in the deep water with my oldest cousin Misha. We would sit in a large donut out in the middle of the lake (don't worry, we had a long rope tied onto a raft) and try to use our weight to get eachother in the water. Whoever hits the water first is the loser. We played a 3 out of 5. So I got him twice in a row, by putting my knee onto his side of the donut making it tilt him into the water. Then he got me my shoving me out by my legs (which was cheating). Then he got me again but I thought it was my fault it flipped over. Whatever. I was actually taking it easy on him, because on the fifth match he tryed to cheat again, but it backfired and he went in first. To make him feel better I said: "We BOTH cheated Misha". Which was true. But it was fun. I finally learned how to play cribbage at Lacquenuoille (LAC-KWIN-OYE) which is a fun game and we brought the set home.

I don't really feel like blogging today; not because I don't enjoy it, but because I believe that anything that I write will be pale in comparison to what Dan wrote before me. (That is of course provided that you are not extremely offended by it).
So we are back from holidays. I was surprised that nobody signed our guestbook wanting to know why we weren't posting, but I guess most of the readers figured it out. Yesterday was a marathon - NOT of the excersizing your muscles sort. We got up at 5:30, left at six, and didn't get home until 12:00 am. Granted we did stop for lunch and supper - about 105 minutes, but still. When I got home, I brought 3 bags in from the van, and then fell on bed and died - only to wake up in the morning and find that we weren't on holidays anymore. Thankfully it is sunny though so this wasn't a huge problem.
While we were on vacation I went exploring in the bush, and found all sorts of stuff - mostly dangerous. An old rusty snowblower, a toilet, some used firecrackers, lots of old nails and things that were SO rusty that you couldn't tell what they were anymore, bricks, waterjugs, a huge length of piping (plastic, not copper), old doorknobs and boards with grafitti on them, and the list went on and on.....

My First Experience With a Condom
So we just came back from vacation.
On the way back from the lake, we had to stop at a gas station for a pee.
I saw a condom machine. Here were the names
1. The Pink Super Sex French Tickler
2. The 3-D ACTION studded condom
3. The glow-in-the-dark condom.
The names made Katelyn laugh especially the French Tickler
All of them were two dollars each.
So when we went to dinner mom asked us if we had a to design a type of drink what would it be and what would you call it? I said mine would be soda with tasty black splotches and sparkles. I would call it The Max and Ruby. Next mom asked us what we would do with a cake. I said "a tasty glump of chocolate with edible centipedes. I would call it " The French Tickler". Yum Yum. (also the cake would be dyed pink)
