• Have Your Cake and Ice It, Too!

  I was just leaving my blog alone, hoping that a few people would comment, and they did!  (Kudos to you.)  Today was a happy kid day. They were giddy and giggly which always makes life much more pleasant. We went out to Denny’s for supper, and it was a lot of fun to have them making jokes and grinning like fools. 

  We had our homeschool co-op today, and it was Cake Decorating Final Project Day for David. They studied cake decorating for two weeks (about two hours total). He took in a four layer cake and had to decorate it in any style he chose.  Here’s his finished product.

  

  We haven’t cut into it yet, but I’m sure it will be a waterfall of delights to our tastebuds. It will also be quite a few calories–a cup of butter, a cup of shortening, and two pounds of confectioner’s sugar made up the icing!

  Here’s Mr. Confectioner with his creation.

  

  I haven’t had much to say of late. I’ve feel like I’ve been really busy but have done very little.  I suppose we all have times like these, right?  I hope? 

  Last night, we had four people from the drama group Splinter stay at our house.  They are a group of homeschooled kids who tour and present a wonderful drama about the life of Christ done in a dramatic choral reading with singing and some great expressions of voice and face.  If you ever have a chance to go and see them perform, it’s well worth it!
