Sweet 16 Kaitlin

Yes, it's true. Kaitlin turned 16 this week.  She spent half the week at her Dad's house where she got a huge surprise party with dancing and everything. At our house on Saturday she had a co-party with her friend Rachael who just lives a few houses away.  Her family hosted half the party where they served dinner and played water games, and then they all came to our house for smores and cake. After last year's cake success,  Kaitlin and I had fun trying to make a tiered fondant cake.  It turned out cute and the party was a lot of fun. 

Almost There

We have one week to go on our Days of 47 Float. After several failed attempts on the sheep bodies they've decided on a style and are welding them.  Our pioneer lady's head is finished and the sheep heads only need painting. This week I got to  make huge glittered yarn balls.  Ready or not, our float is supposed to make its premier in a town parade this weekend. 

 
Last Week of School

This week Ruth and Jared were very busy in school with doing important things like: building a solar oven and making nachos, building a catapult, doing science experiments, building and launching a rocket, learning German.   And next week will be even busier with events such as: field day,  teacher student softball, and clean the tote trays day.
