Alyssa got baptised!
What a wonderful day it was for her. She got to wear a beautiful, fluffy, white dress and have people fawn over how beautiful and proud they were of her. I am glad it was a good day for her.
The other day we went to Chik-Fil-A and I found the most genius thing!
WHAT?! Rip the top "cap" off to squeeze or pull back the tab to dip! Crazy! Why was this not invented sooner?
Last year Zach planted a rasberry and a blackberry bush. I hate those "bushes"! They aren't really even bushes, they are more like chutes with the sharpest thorns in the world. Anyways, since they are supposed to be "bushes", and no one bothered to check out on how to care for them (eh hem), they have been growing wild. I got fed up and decided to do studying on how to take care of them. Apparently they are supposed to have a support system of trellises so the chutes don't fall over, and you have to trim them every year. So, today I built a crappy little trellis with the stuff we got at Home Depot. (Side note: Why is it that certain people never listen to me? I say how something needs to be done, but the other person doesn't really listen and then they get an idea of how something should work and go with their idea instead, even though they have no idea what they are talking about. Then we get to the point of, "You were right." If I'm right then why do we have to go through this process every time?! *Ahhhhhhhh*) So, now I have to deal with a trellis that not only looks like crap because it was made with the wrong things (that was not my idea in the first place to get), and doesn't work properly. If those "bushes" don't produce a boat load of berries next year, they are out of here!
I'm kind of in a bad mood. I'm sorry.
Anyways, this is our bounty.
Not much at all, and no rasberries this year. Our tomatoes are finally starting to turn red. Micah had the first ripe one today, and she ate it like an apple. That kid LOVES tomatoes.
Alyssa, Micah, and I went to see the optomotrist yesterday for a yearly eye exam, and I will be posting more on that later. Not that anyone really reads this blog.
