Art Show

We like to have art shows in our house. Luca tapes his pieces to the wall and I buy my favorites with pennies. Last night Jer joined in. He sketched this awesome picture of Luca! How many pennies would you give him for that one? I have to let you all know what a talented and amazing guy he is:) Also, we've finally gone digital with some of our wedding pics.

Special Treat


Shaving cream clouds on the kitchen table. Good times. I bribe my boys (Luca mostly since James only responds to basic commands) with this activity. If they're really good on a car or shopping trip we might get to make a mess when we get home! I love James' eyes in the next picture. It's like he's looking to Luca to ask, "Is she really letting us do this?"


Here is my first attempt at a fondant covered cake. I made my own fondant. I'd really like to get better at cake decorating. I didn't have much trouble with the fondant, but the cake itself was kind of lumpy so that made the covering not look as nice. It was fun though. I'm going to keep practicing. (I have to add that I do not own a single cake decorating tool at the moment.)



Here are some of this year's Dahlias.
This is an older pic of Luca and Sydney at the zoo. They loved climbing in this turtle shell. It was such a fun day!
