Yesterday we went to pick Nate up at 11:00AM. Coming home around twelve, I started on dishes while they headed to Lowes to get stuff for my mom's raised bed gardens out back (summer project). Afterwards, I went out back to help her cut the boards and nail/screw together said planks to form some less than perfect boxes. Okay, so I have this fear of circular saws.

| A circular saw from Black and Decker. Idk where ours is from. |
There's a reason for this. One, I don't like electric blades of any sort. The malfunctions that can happen with elecricity are too numerous. Two, one of my favorite cartoon voice actors, Aaron Dismuke, ran a circular saw about an inch up his hand; in the part between the first finger and thumb. He was making a shelf in his grandmother's basement and it kicked back. That is, believe it or not, one of the CREEPIEST things on earth to me. XD
Anyway, we had to use a circular saw on the 2x4's and it definitely freaked me out enough when it kicked to make me incredibly energized by the time Cyll got there. Afterwards was craziness of Nerf, then FINALLY lunch (@ 3PM!). Afterwards I practiced piano, went back outside and played soccer (which gave me a nice scratch and several bruises) and then made...four? five? six? pizzas, all monster size. Mom handled about half the toppings, while I made dough, rolled out several of them, and topped about two. You would think *that* would be a good experience...Oh, no. Then we went up to the church to play Nerf zombie's...
In.
The.
Dark.
It.
Was.
Epic.
Especially when we all tackled Avery in the front window while these four guys with dogs looked on...I think they thought we were crazy...but we're teenagers. What else can we say?
At about 9:15PM we headed home for showers...and mom had some brush to burn in the backyard. Gradually, all of us but sleeping Daddy made our way outside to watch the bonfire. And, since our locks are weird, we managed to get ourselves locked out. Not a window unlocked. Not a door open. No key hidden anywhere. Darkness setting in. Fire burning low. >.< Needless to say, my imagination went a little wild. Though, my admiration for a few people's skills in organization and leadership in such a situation was increased.
By the end, we just tapped on Daddy's second-story window with a long pole until he woke up and opened the door. He was VERY grouchy. XD So finally we made it inside. I took a shower, then got my comp for a little down-time. Then I knocked out to sleep.
This morning I woke up at about 10. Coming down stairs, I sat down in the den and listened to my mom read her Bible out loud. Then Cyll came in and we sat down for a long discussion between all of us...on some very fascinating topics, lol. Afterwards, Mom, Lilly, Simon and myself all went in the playroom to watch Tangled. The boys meandered in and out, taking turns in their multiplayer game (I live in a house of gamers, all save my dad, and all my guy-friends are gamers. Help me someone. :P-Defeated cry of a girl trying to survive with gamers).
Then I went upstairs again to my comp, once more seeking solitude (I'm a quiet sort of person). After that, I talked to Mom for a while and then watched a bit of a game of Risk. Mostly it was just Cyll and I fooling around. >.< We do that sort of thing rather often. :P
Generally, I never want to forget these two days. They were crazy, yes...but really, really fun. :)
Now...the house feels very quiet! :( Oh, well. I'll try to get some writing done now and then practice piano. Plus, I got some schoolwork to do! XD
