A very exciting post!

Sorry for the lack of posts lately...nothing really exciting has happened and therefore, I don't have any pictures! A post that will be coming soon is another "Evan got __!" but I haven't done it yet (obviously) :)

It seems Evan is the only one doing things around here (and the only one spending the money!) ;)

School has been keeping me very busy! I have lots of drawing to do...For our second project in art we have to paint (uh oh!) a 9x12 painting of something to do with farming. We watched a couple videos (including Food Inc. which is kind of gross) and now we have to have three sketches by tomorrow. I've got one and a half, guess I had better get going! Here's a link to a website I used when drawing one of my sketches. These steps actually work very well and my person actually looks like a person!

Oh! and I got my first project back. We had to do a psychological self portrait. Here's my picture:

I got an A-!

Also our new project in Design is to make a logo and stationary for a company called Typefaces International Inc. So I'm busy trying to come up with something for that.

Adios!

Evan got baby chicks!

Another "Evan got ___!" post :)

Evan ordered baby chicks (black ones) online. He got an extra chick that is "rare". He's the yellow one. He's also a little tipsy. :) They shipped Sunday morning from Iowa and were in Hartford by 8 something that morning. After we got home from the reception, Dad and Evan went and got them. Sunday evening U. Dale & A. Mare and Grandpa & Grandma came over to see the baby chicks. And without further ado here's some pictures

This was how they were shipped:

The yellow chick took too many drugs before his plane ride...;)

Not sure what happened here, but it turned out kind of funny....

You never know what you'll find behind the stove!

Mom decided to clean behind the stove ;) and this is what they found!


I have no clue what year it is but it was a little while ago cause look at Carla's hand!
Oh, and she cleaned behind the stove because something got spilled down the side, not because she felt like it! :)

You should check behind your stove! ;)

Evan got Goats!

Yesterday Evan and Dad drove to Middleton and got two boer goats. One is a mama and the other is a not quite one year old girl. Here's some pics (of course!)

This is the little girl. She's pretty cute!

The Mama. Can you tell she's pregnant?

Today was great!

Today was an awesome day! You know why??

Because I didn't have school until 10:50 am and the teacher thinks class ends at 12:05 when it really ends at 12:15. But I won't be the one to tell her :)

Then next, I have Intro to Geography at 1:40 pm. That class usually lasts until 4:20. Well today, we took our quiz, four students presented their maps they found, and then the teacher showed us a video that she wanted us to watch. After that she told us, "Ok, now you can leave to go watch the video!" To say I was slightly dumbfounded was an understatement ;) At first I thought she was kidding, but she wasn't! Sweeet! So I left school today at twenty of 3. Almost two hours before class normally gets out!

The video we had to watch was pretty interesting (but kind of long). It was called Hunt for the Supertwister. After we had to rate tornado damage (you should try this, it's very interesting). 

It's pretty interesting stuff, but I think I'll leave the tornado hunting/watching to those guys....I prefer to stay in the house :)

And just a photo that I never put on the blog.

This is from when David was out here for his Christmas break. His roommate came out a few days before they left to drive back home. He was great company and we were great hosts (obviously!) 
;)

I can put this up here because I'm in CT and he is in IL! :)

(P.S. I didn't take the picture)
