Move Over Chef Duff

Mikensee is in the house! Here is her very first cake! Thanks Grandma for the class! She LOVES it! She's already sick of frosting, but I assure you the lack of sugar won't harm her!

You Know You Want Some

Mom bought these on Saturday but we've been flying and today was the first opportunity to make these:

Prince Caspian

Today was Mikensee's Book Club and we went to see Prince Caspian, the book they just finished reading. Wyatt said at least 15 times during the movie that he wants to watch it again and again, so I guess that means he liked it! The book club decided it is very little like the book and as for me; I liked The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe better.

Pancakes, Cactus and Rain

We started our day today at the end of the year Pancake Breakfast. On the way home the weather was so nice we stopped and took the little hike at the Estrella Mountain Entrance near our house. It sprinkled on us this morning on our way to breakfast and once we came home it poured! The kids made a rain tent and played for a while. Now they are all anxiously awaiting swim team practice. Julie is also on her way in from Laguna Beach and we are excited about that!

For the Pancake Breakfast the girls were to write an Acrostic Poem using the word Pancakes:

Great job girls!

Sunday

Despite the fact that mom had quasi-flu like symptoms for the past 24 hours and hardly slept, we did go to church because Mom wasn't going to disappoint the choir or try to stay home and not get any rest anyway!

Mikensee decided today was a good day to make Critter Cards for her new business Fancy Pancy Pets. Mom told her working on Sunday is a sin, but she decided to ignore this by justifying her activity with fact she was making cards. . . Sin is sin, but at least it was a reverent activity!
