Life is back to normal, if there is such a thing. I made a birthday cake for a little girl turning 6. She wanted a brown and pink cowgirl boot. I had a lot of fun making it. It’s not the best lighting I’ve ever seen in a picture, but you get the idea.
Several days ago, I asked the kids to clean up their rooms and bring their clothes to the laundry room. These are just two of the bizarre items they threw in the basket:
The item on the left is obviously a skein of yarn. The item on the right is a pair of doll pajama pants. Since when do these two things need to be washed? Was the doll playing outside and got her pants dirty? This doll has never seen the light of day, so I knew that wasn’t the case. These are the crazy things kids try to get away with I guess. I’m sure I did similar things. I remember wanting my plastic straw to be flat, so I ironed it. Uhh, it didn’t work very well. People…don’t try that at home. Straws don’t go flat, they go gooey. And they never come off an iron. Fantastic science experiment.
Next cool thing: This hot air balloon landed behind our grove of trees; we could see it from our driveway. We all went to get a closer look. It’s amazing how quickly a balloon deflates and also how quickly they can get the whole thing folded up. It might be fun to go for a ride someday.
