This past week was the last full week of summer vacation. I am sad to see it go. It has been a busy and fun summer. This week's happenings: Happy Birthday to my awesome hubby. I won't tell you how old he is. :) Anyway, I always try to fix what the birthday boy wants for dinner. Usually it is something with fish. Since I am allergic to fish, I don't cook it. Why cook something you can't eat, right? His request was fish vindaille. It is a mauritian dish. He said it turned out really good, and he and -N- (our other fish lover) ate it up. For his birthday cake, I thought I would try to make Trifle. Spalding served his mission in England and that was his favorite thing to eat there. It was yummy!
We canned more green beans and more pickled beets. We pulled the peas out of the garden, and are giving away a lot of zucchini!
We spent an afternoon swimming at the lake. I could have used a few more of those days this summer-soaking up the sun, playing in the water with the kids. It was great.
School registration was this week. This year, we have 3 kids in 3 schools. We paid fees and bought school supplies. I think the kids are finally getting excited about going back to school.
We also went to the Playmill theater and saw Footloose. I loved it! It was really fun. They did a great job of transitioning between scenes on their small stage.
Oh, one more thing. I got a new calling at church. I am now a Personal, Home, and Family Enrichment Leader. I guess I didn't go to Enrichment meetings often enough so now I get to help plan them. Any good ideas out there?

UHHH... Happy B-day to you as well girl! What is Mr. Hubby going to make for you?
And as a side note, I found your x mas gift yesterday and chuckled myself silly. I will officially announce:you will not be getting it until this year - just in case there was any question:O
cute header pic. I know this last month has gone by fast and I wish I would've spent more time at the lake too! I was recently called to be on the enrichment committee, so if I can remember anything (these prego hormones are eating my brain!) I can let you know what we've been doing and going to do for the next few months. Apparentely we're have some awesome activities, I've been told! LOL!!
I DO like the picture! And good luck with your calling. you let ME know if you have any good ideas!
