Since discovering that cakes made with applesauce instead of oil are pretty tasty (and the opposite of dry,) Shecklet #2 asked if he could bake a cake today. He chose strawberry, made two rounds, put a layer of strawberry rhubarb jam between and frosted it with marshmallow vanilla frosting. Pretty tasty, I have to say! He made his godmother, Michelle, proud! 🍓🍰
Sung to the tune of “on the fifth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me…”
🎶 On the 8th day of school, the PA said to me…your son has mono 😞
*sigh*
This kid is such a trooper. He powers through anything thrown at him. I’m just glad we have a reason behind his fatigue and increased need for sleep. 💤
Here we go again!
We have two middle schoolers (7th and 6th grade) and two elementary kids (3rd and 1st grade.) So thankful they are all still at the same school with the same schedule.
I was able to pick up the glazed pottery we painted two weeks ago. I think they all turned out great!
I took three of the Shecklets things Nissedalen today while Jake stayed home and worked on the truck with the help of Shecklet #2. Between spotting tubing kids and listening to giggles as they swung in hammocks, I did get to do a little reading – not much, but a little. This place is so relaxing. I’m grateful we got to spend so many Saturdays up here during our brief summer break from school and schedules.
How can this be? The Shecklets are heading back to school in 5 days!
They got to meet their teachers, (the boys also got their schedules,) and we dropped off a lot of supplies.
It’s going to be a great year!
