The Un-Post

I'm not a slacker, I swear. There just hasn't been anything unusual or exciting going on. I took the girls to the zoo this week, but I've posted about that a million times before. I caught up on laundry and housework after being gone for a long weekend. I've also made some progress on my table. There just didn't seem to be anything amazing or blogworthy this week. So this is my un-post: enjoy.

For those of you who don't know, I'm entering the table setting competition at the Ventura County Fair this year. I fell in love with this cheesy contest at the LA Fair when I was a little girl and vowed to enter a table someday. Anyway, the theme I'm entering in this year is "Hot August Nights." My interpretation of that theme is dinner on a campout. It will be a semi-civilized campout with a table and real plates and silverware. I've acquired my tablecloth, napkins, dishes, silverwear and about half of my centerpiece. I need another trip to Michaels so I can get the rest of what I need. Still left on my to-do list is to put together my centerpiece, to work on my menu card and decide how to set my napkins. I'm so excited about this! The other fun thing is that Jim has been super supportive, has come up with some great ideas, and even took a trip to Walmart with me to help pick stuff out! What a sweetie. :)

Sorry no pics of this post. I'm going to work on getting some video of Rachel attempting to walk. She'll do about two steps before she sits down. She's such a lazy bum sometimes.
