Patty Cake, patty cake, Baker's Man...

We have all heard this little rhyme but do we really know who the heck the Baker's Man is? Apparently my little man does and he has drawn a picture for you!

Summer Fun at the Fair!

My plans to work through the summer fizzled. It was too hard to have 2 kids home from PS NOT doing work, as well as the whole neighborhood being off too. This is why I long to move far, far away from other people...but I digress.
Summer has been a fast and furious few weeks of fun for sure!

At my urging the girls entered the county fair and alas they won!!!

 Here Mac won a first for her stamped card. This was a good category since not many kids in this division even bothered with stamped crafts! That netted her $4 which was a pleasant surprise.

She also entered a pastel drawing of a pineapple. It was really quite good but we only got an honorable mention.





Chickie whipped off a sweet poem about a baby bird and won 1st! She was very excited by this. Not surprising that there were very FEW entries for poetry in her age range. Novices-lol.

 Even Grandma won a 1st with her hand hooked rug that she designed.
