Happenings

This is what I did over the last two weeks. I joined the swim team, something I have wanted to do for years.
I registered for camp and will be leaving in (oh my goodness) only 2 weeks.
I applied for financial aid for school(fun). I prepared for my driving test which hopefully I will be taking very soon(within the next 2 weeks).
I made some additions to my vegetable garden, brussel sprouts, cauliflower and beans, green and yellow. I bought the cauliflower and brussel sprouts as plants but the beans I grew from seed so was very excited that they came up this late in the season.
I finished reading The Hound of the Baskervilles and watched a 1938 movie version with my brothers. I started The Scarlet Pimpernel and hope to finish today. My brother of course bet me as he always seems too.
He finished it on Wednesday. I went to a book sale and got The Spirit of the Liturgy by Cardinal Ratsinger and a book about St. John Brebuef, one of the North American martyrs. Lets see anything else? Oh yea I joined Facebook(':

O.K. I really don't feel like doing this but I will make myself do it. POST! I have been having so much fun outside in the summer sun that I just don't feel like doing it!
Yesterday I volunteered all day at a homeschool conference. Since my mom is due to have the baby anyday she wasn't up to going so I checked out some books that she was interested in. I spent the day with my best friend and when we weren't talking to people who came to our table we colored and she completed the world's largest dot-to-dot. It had over a thousand dots! WOW!
Besides that I have been getting ready for the baby, doing a ton of yard work, reading, babysitting, running errands and biking. I love biking. It is so much fun especially when I get a little disoreinted( he-he ).

While keeping the little girls amused I sometimes do crafts with them. Here is one we did last week.
To make it you need a paper coffee filter, washable markers, construction paper and a spray bottle.
1. Color the coffee filter.
2. Spray the coffee filter lightly 5 times. If you spray to much or to hard it will be ruined.
3. Let dry.
4. Once it has dryed you can make a circular frame for it out of construction paper if you wish. The finished product resembles a tie-dyed stained glass window.
