Breakfast with Mom Day

One of the many joys of homeschooling!!

Fair Field Trip - 10-13-09

I apologize for the delayed updates!!! I'm playing catch-up!! :)

Nathan is doing GREAT in school and loving his new PSP Program!!(Private School Satellite Program)

On October 13th, we took a trip to the Fair... just him and I... why?? Cuz it was raining that day! Everyone thought we were crazy for going, but it actually turned out to be a great day! We had a blast, and got to see and do everything we wanted to do w/out having to fight the crowds!!! We didn't really get soaked, because there was plenty of indoor exhibits to entertain us during the sporadic downpours! :)

Here's a picture we took of ourselves! :)

Here's a picture of Nathan panning for gold.

He did this last year too, but was VERY interested in it this year!

School Cake Decorating Contest

The school that we enrolled Nathan in as a satellite student is having a Carnival fundraiser on Saturday. As part of that Carnival, they are doing a Cake Decorating Contest, and then those cakes will be used for a "Cake Walk" during the carnival! Well... we are so excited and enjoying homeschooling, yet being part of a school... we thought we'd do a cake for the contest!!

Well... I'm not a cake decorator.. never have I even tried.... so we opted for creative and unique!!!

So here it is:

Our "Caramel Apple" Cake

We found the idea on the "Family Fun" Website, and it was pretty easy considering you are dealing with a round cake and lots of gooey caramel! LOL! It turned out easier and better than I expected given the experience level combined between me and my 10 year old son!! :)

So we are excited to take our cake to the school and see the others that are submitted too!

Winner or not, we had alot of fun! :)
