Mosaic/Collage/Smorgasboard

I have a random collection of things I wanted to post about, so here goes!

Zoo--On Saturday, we went to the zoo. We saw a baby elephant and a baby giraffe. They were pretty cute. Camden didn't really know what was happening, and slept through a lot of it. Next year...

Good Advice--I recently attended a wedding, where I heard some excellent advice: The minister told the couple to listen to everyone's advice, and then make it work for them. I think this good for marriages and children. :)


Mints--As I walked home from the wedding, I carried a little box of mints. Apparently I was talking to Brian with great use of my hands, because all of a sudden, there were butter mints all over the road. The next day, there were little pastel spots where the mints had fallen. We laughed the rest of the way home.


Birthday Girl--My little sister turned 10 years old yesterday! She's in double digits now. She's not a little girl anymore!

Happy birthday, Rachel!

Random discoveries--
~You don't really need a microwave to cook microwave popcorn.
~You don't really need eggs to make peanut butter cookies.
~Baking soda can make your carpet look, feel, and smell cleaner; it may take its toll on the vacuum, though.
~Baby bibs with water-proof plastic backing will melt in the dryer.
~The quick-cook option on the bread machine actually makes delicious bread.
Happy Fall!
