Last year Mari and Hope made an awesome pig cake. This year they made a slice of pizza!

Rose Riding Her Bike
Rose has been working on riding her bike.
CYC Bunk Building
This morning and afternoon we participated in a bunk-building session at CYC, where Susan went to camp as a kid and Andrew has gone to some summer camps. They built new cabins and worked with family groups to help assemble the bunks.
Vegetable Garden
We planted a lovely vegetable garden on the side of the house. So far it is off to a good start.
24 Hours on the Trampoline
Mari and Hope spent 24 hours on the trampoline, including setting up a tent on the trampoline for the overnight. They were allowed bathroom breaks, but those breaks were timed and added to their requirement.
Mari Ross
Mari has been working on a variety of art projects lately. This afternoon she followed a Bob Ross video on youtube, improvising with using our kitchen utensils since we are lacking some art supplies. She also had to make the canvas out of tiled sheets of paper left over from our homeschool days.
Mari’s Room Pano
Mari has been working on redecorating her room. She painted The Great Wave on one of her walls, painted the other walls gray, and added a photo collage above her dresser.
Coloring Pages
These girls love their coloring pages! Susan or I print one for them every day and they sometimes color them.
More Dessert
I can’t remember what this one was called, but Mari made another amazing dessert this week.
House with a pool
When we moved back to Des M0ines after our trip, we were hoping to find a house with a pool. That didn’t work out. Now, with the prospect that pools won’t be open this summer, we decided to get a relatively cheap above ground pool to enjoy.
Whoopie Pies
Mari likes to bake on Thursdays and today she made these great whoopie pies. The filling is a chocolate, cream cheese frosting.
