Making a rainbow!

Thanks so much to Miss Kaybo for our initiation into the Rainbow Cake sorority! The girls (big and little) enjoyed the mixing of colors and became quite territorial over which colors were "theirs." While the process was rather messy (plastic cups and spoons are a magnificent invention), the finished product was quite stunning. I was very impressed by the vibrant colors and the girls were very captivated by the tasty finale. I would highly recommend this activity to anyone with children of all ages...it might look like a disaster in the making, but I promise that the cake is well worth the mess! Thanks again Kaybo...we will treasure this memory...

The bone crusher!

Apparently Camden gets his athletic ability from his mother...please take note of the "before" picture of the stunning skill displayed...and then in the "after" picture you will notice Camden is sporting a smashing (pun absolutely intended) black cast...he is thrilled with his new accessory...just what until it

starts itching!

Happy Birthday Dr. Suess!

and thanks so much for your magnificent tongue-twisting tales! The girls celebrated this iconic author by dressing as one of their favorite storybook characters. Caelan choose to emulate Junie B. Jones as she is almost a flower girl in her aunt's wedding. Mary Mauldin attached a bow to every surface to make herself just as glamorous as the famous Fancy Nancy. I hope this inspires everyone to grab a book (or at least a boa!).

Another one bites the dust!

Snaggle tooth for certain! Caelan pulled

out another tooth at school today.

We certainly hope that the tooth fairy

is quiet when she visits tonight...

last time Caelan almost caught her

in her bedroom...the Tooth Fairy

must be getting slower in her old age!

Tomato Girl lives on...

O.K. So I need to add to my original opinion of Tomato Girl. I still think it is quite a disturbing tale (and hope that not all of the disasters could truly be found in one family), I did enjoy the lively conversation provided by my beloved book club - The Bluestocking Society. And many thanks to Jean for the wonderful meal and the interesting momento of the tomato plant. While I am sure that I will not have the green thumb of Tess, I do find it interesting that my husband can now say that he has his own Tomato Girl!

Winter Park Warriors!

Camden and cousins are
ready to tackle the slopes...
hopefully Granddaddy will
be able to keep up!
(Camden is the one sporting
crimson and gray)

A Movement of Moths...

Mary Mauldin completed her first piece of art work under the
expert tutelage of Mary Ann Cox. Mary Mauldin is quite
proud of her first watercolor. She would like for you
to take special notice of the moth that is flying
off the canvas...apparently not a still life painting!
