This thanksgiving dad cooked his traditional “smoked turkey.” First, he put some spice in the turkey. Then, Aubrey cleaned out the smoker racks where the turkey would sit in the smoker. Dad and Hannah started the fire, and dad placed the turkey. During the day dad would check the turkey. Late in the afternoon, dad said the turkey was perfect. And it was the best we ever cooked! J I hope you come over next time!

This picture is so cute. It shows Aubrey holding Joshua and brushing her teeth. Joshua saw the brush and wanted to try. He grabbed the end of the toothbrush and stuck it in his mouth. He then started to brush like Aubrey. He enjoyed it. J He is so adorable.

This month Amy and I have been participating in a program called Nanowrimo. The website is http://ywp.nanowrimo.org/. We have the month of November to compete, seeing who can write the best story. Everyone who competes will have their book published if they reach their word-count-goal. The competition requires each user to set a reasonable, but high word-count-goal. My word-count-goal is five-thousand, so far I have three-thousand, three-hundred and four-hundred. The website has many different features, allowing its competitors to have writing buddy’s, chat with people and much more! The competition has been very exciting.

A couple weeks ago we began to hunt pomegranates. We decided to stop by a house that dad said had a lot of pomegranates. He also said that he could tell the family didn’t eat them. When we arrived, someone pressed a button and the gate swung open. While dad asked them if we could buy some of their fruit, a boy said, “Yeah, two for a hundred dollars.” I was surprised. But the grandfather said, “Sure pick them and make me an offer.” So we picked two five gallon buckets and paid ten dollars. The store sells pomegranates for two dollars each, so what I want to ask you is, how much would the store charge you to fill two five gallon buckets? J

For a couple of months our family has smelt something burning every time we used the dryer. We decided to find out what caused the problem. Amy, Caleb, Dad and I took the dryer apart and literally found globs hair and bucketful’s of lint. We took out the lint, and had to untangle the hair from the spindles in the back of the dryer. We cleaned all of the parts, and with white vinegar scrubbed off the hair that was burnt on the sides of the dryer. It was a bit disgusting, but it was fun. Dad said that everything we learn now will help us when we are older, and I agree with him. Mom also said that sometimes we’re not thankful for something until we lose the use of it.
