Appyhay Ewnay Earyay

December 31, 2007

Handy Work – Mmmm mmmm mmm.

December 26, 2007

I am still debating about whether or not I should post the photos of Handy Man’s big ‘April Fools in December’ joke on me. Turns out my “uncomfortable surprise” face is not altogether flattering; nor am I very clever at disguising how I really feel. I really need to work on my [...]

We’re stuck and we can’t get out!

December 23, 2007

The news warned of snow… wind… blustery winter weather. We left early and braved the trip. We made it safe and sound – warm and comfy. We spent the holiday playing dodge ball, basketball, swimming and hanging out at the rec center. And by ‘we’ I mean the boys. [...]

So why does your blog feel so… generic?
There are thousands of articles out there about improving your blog space, keeping reader interest and engaging passers-by. I can’t get into writing style here, but I can help with the aesthetics, [...]

Warriors

December 14, 2007

Inspired by the Aborigenes and the Maori tribes from our Australia and New Zealand studies, the Men of Mill Creek Academy proudly present a series we’ll call “Warriors.” Brace yourselves.

After all this fun, maybe we can now catch up with History. After all, Clovis can’t be this fun.
