This week, my kids attended Vacation Bible School. They had such a good time! Can I just admit that I am such a softie that I get choked up watching all of the kids at VBS dancing and singing about things like God being their hero? It’s just so wonderful to see.
Of course, it was also fun to see one of our priests stick his whole face in a whipped cream pie. The kids at VBS, as you can imagine, went insane over this.

After reading about them extensively on Sycamore Stirrings, I finally got to try macarons this week. Holy cow! They were delicious!
Every time I have seen them online (at a few different places), I have thought that I would just have to make them to be able to try them. So, I was excited to actually see them in the freezer case at Trader Joe’s.
Now, I’m thinking that I really have to have this macaron cookbook. I already had it on my wishlist, but now I really want it.

Apparently despite having lots of cookbooks, I’m in the mood for some cookbooks, as I just noticed that these are all of the most recent additions to my Amazon wishlist:
Hmmm…maybe I’m looking on Amazon too often when I’m hungry.

We still need to work on 4-H projects. I’m praying that we’ll make some progress on them over the next week or so. If we don’t seriously get down to work soon, we’ll be headed to the county fair empty handed. How in the world did we put this off so long?

I had an eye exam last June (June 25, 2009, to be exact). It was my eye exam in about seven years or so, and my prescription had changed.
Why does this warrant being a quick take? Well, it’s probably the fact that I ordered glasses from this prescription — about two days ago. I have a few guesses why I put it off so long, but now it does seem at least a tiny bit foolish that I waited so long that my glasses are set to be delivered right around when my prescription is expiring.
Have you ever put off something really silly like that?

In what I hope wasn’t a move of stupidity, I have placed all of my pots of lettuce and spinach on the ground now. I had put them on a picnic table to keep them safe from the bunnies, but now the hot weather has turned them too bitter for us to eat anymore. So, I figured that I would be kind to the rabbits and just let them have a greens buffet.
Now, if they decide to try to eat in my garden, it’s going into the “no good deed goes unpunished” book.

I’m finally getting ready to design my business cards for use at Savvy Blogging Summit. Apparently I didn’t want to rush into it.
I’m so excited that Catholic Child is covering most of my expenses. Not only are they a great company, but I just love every time we talk in emails. Such a nice family!
I could still use a little help with my trip though, so if you think you might be interested in one of the sponsorship options, be sure to be in touch before I manage to get to work on these business cards!

I told get a little teary eyed watching the kids sing at VBS. This was the first year my daughter felt too old to do VBS. It will definitely be missed.

Oh, I wish I was going to that! I’d love to hear how you got a sponsor for a conference.
To keep your bunnies out of your garden, sprinkle cayenne pepper on the plants. It won’t hurt them. I did this a few years ago when the bunnies were nibbling our green beans down to nubs. Worked great!
