A week ago, Savannah had to come up with a project for a book report for her sixth grade class. The first book of the year was a free choice book, so she read one called "Serpent Tide". It was a book with 391 pages (only 150 were required) and a lot of large vocabulary words. Not an easy read for an eleven-year-old, but the story was interesting and kept her attention. She decided she wanted to make a cake book report like her sister had done two years ago with the same teacher (same grade). Here is a picture of her with her cake.
Then a few days later, all of the kids wanted a chance to make and decorate a cake. Savannah and Kamber (our friend Kurt's daughter) mixed and baked the cake with Kurt's help. Then all of the kids helped decorate it and eat it. Kurt and three of his kids have been staying with us for a couple of weeks. His sons are Kyler and Kayden. Here is a picture of most of the kids decorating the cake. Savannah even helped clean up afterward (an agreement she had with her dad in order to bake the cake--what a good girl). I know, we're crazy for letting the kids make such a mess and eat so much sugar. Well, once in a while I think kids need to have fun and be kids. =)
Finally, yesterday we had a visitor. Troy and I watched a cute bunny hop around our yard and then it came right down to our back door and ate some plants within a couple of feet of us. Troy, of course, wanted to chase it. He wasn't able to because there was glass between them (luckily for the bunny). So I convinced him to just watch the bunny with me quietly until it hopped away a few minutes later. We were able to get a quick picture of him through the glass before he left.
