Some days you're a bug, some days you're a windshield.

Some days you're a bug, some days you're a windshield.

~Marisa drove us to church today! And we are all still alive to tell about it. She actually did pretty well. She is a cautious driver and for now I am grateful for that. She started her drivers ed last week and it will be great to get that out of the way before school starts. She is also plowing her way through French, but worried she may not finish by the time summer ends. She has pulled many a late night!

~Kayla was able to spend the night at a friends house this week and go see HP again! (I still haven’t even seen it yet)

~Tyler got to go with a friend to a huge water park called “Lost Island:” for a whole day and he thought that was pretty awesome.

~Alayna woke up sick this morning. I am hoping she doesn’t have this nasty cold/flu thing that is going around our ward. Its supposed to be a doozy. We don’t have time for anyone to be sick!

~Marisa, Kayla and I did a MASSIVE 7 hour shopping trip this week to get clothes for school. It was actually a huge success even though I could NOT move a muscle by the time we got home.

~My new favorite series is “Jericho”. I raced through both seasons in a week and now I am on a manhunt to shoot whoever’s brilliant idea it was to cancel it. What an idiot! I am trying to get Bob to watch it with me now.

~Yesterday we worked on the garden for a while (weeding and picking). Then we made 3 batches of zucchini jelly which Alayna says “is to die for!” We made orange, peach, and experimented with tropical fusion. I will let you know how it turns out. This was my first time ever making jam so I was pretty proud. We also had a MASSIVE green bean crop so I froze several bags full and then we took some to church which got picked up almost as soon as I put it down. Next week we will be doing salsa and canning tomatoes all day Saturday.

~We have a busy, busy week ahead with some physicals, dentist appts, hair appts, and buying school supplies. I CANNOT believe its almost time to go back to school. Wish us luck…
