us. . .

it doesn't matter what time we go to bed. whenever we get up were still tired. were not very motivated, and energetic when we have to say good morning to everyone. although most everyone else is ready for the days activities, three other girls (sometimes its just me) are just sitting staring at the table sort of drifting off. in less of course, your so tired that you have way to much energy. but often tired enough where you said proverbs 9:10 with everyone else, but mess up when you have to say it alone. yes, now the family is saying verses together and discussing them. you can't forget all the questions we get from a certain eight year old boy who attempts to do his hair, and is told that he looks like a nutty professor, like in flubber.
but after boys go to school, a father goes to work, and two sisters go to work. it still manages to get quite loud with all five of us home. of course its loud. guitar, piano, and violin is being practiced. and the house about to explode because of someones vocal cords that sometimes go to high for us to handle.
whenever we are all around the kitchen table doing history, science, math, spelling, vocab, and maybe nonsense. we normally don't get a ton done. merrick is always trying to figure out a math or an english problem, but has to say it all out loud which is annoying for us because we are trying to concentrate on whatever we are doing. i am laughing at the fact that my science book has a million typo's in it. and then someone says a stupid joke, and someone always laughs while the other is saying how stupid it was. then merrick says that we shouldn't say stupid because its a bad word. so we irritate him by saying stupid over, and over, and over again (i know, were horrible sisters). . .

but all in all, were a small, but big, happy family.
