-In my opinion, this is the only time of the year that can compete with Christmas time for all-around business, since most people are making summer plans and trying to keep up with increasing homework loads (at least I am). This is my excuse for the large blogging lapse that I've been having. Anyway, now I've started again- I hope you have fun reading!
-Baby Julia just discovered the ticket out of nursery, which will work like a charm on any nursery teacher- the "Gotta Go Potty!" trick. There is never any way to tell whether or not they really do need to go, since most mere mortal primary workers are not equipped with lie detectors. Needless to say, taking Julia potty was a prime object in Mom and Dad's Sunday.
-Our family just discovered Mythbusters, and last night we watched the episode where they try to fool different security devices. The best one so far is the one where they hop into the giant whirlpool to see how dangerous they really are. It's easy to see why Nigie likes this show so much, although I can't quite guess what his favorite would be.
-This is the last post before our English projects get turned in, and I just realized how much work it would take to do one if I didn't have this blog. But, luckily, I do, so my grade isn't (hopefully) about to plummet through the floor- after all, the project is worth a hundred or so points.
-This should be an interesting reunion(cousin camp), since everyone has a part in it-we will now also be building potato guns from ABS and BBQ sparkers- they're supposed to shoot up to 200 yards, although this may only be Urban myth.
-That should be all for now, but be prepared for (roughly) weekly posts from now on! (oh, and remember to comment, too-!)

PS: In Spokane on Saturday, we saw a sign in front of a store that said
"Surly Staff
Poor Selection
High Prices
Terrible Quality". We had a laugh about that, but couldn't figure out the reasoning behind it...

17 days left till the end of school...16...15...

-The time has now come for our whole family to begin the countdown until the end of summer. I am having suspicions that this only makes the waiting seem longer, but hey, it's tradition.

-Today, among other things, I passed frozen sacrament bread.It was funny to see the faces of the priests when they realized that they didn't have any bread. Someone came rushing in with some bread, and the priests strained at the bread, barely able to break it. It was also funny to see the faces of the people in the crowd as I passed it. There were a lot of kids whispering in their moms' ears. I'm sure it went something like this: "Mom, why is the bread so hard and cold?"Anyway, that helped us to remember that life's a farce, no matter what we try to do about it.

-Bye, and remember to comment(remember that I wait for you to comment before I blog again)!
