The local bookstore hosted a storybook cake contest and Ev submitted this: It's Marianne, Mike Mulligan's steam shovel. It turned out to be a family event as dad was the designer and so it was difficult and we only had 90 minutes to get it there in time. Ev won and received a $10 gift certificate! Since it was a family event everyone got a new book. Et surprised us all by selecting The Hobbit, Iy picked a Mrs. Piggle Wiggle book, and N got Harold and the Purple Crayon. Ev got an American Girl Doll Craft book--no surprise there!
We saw this outside while we were getting ready for school. The conversation was fun:
Et: Come look! It's a parachuter!
Ev: It's not a parachute, it's a hang glider!
Et: No, parachute
Ev: No hang glider
Et: I know! It's a triangle!
Ev: No, a fermata!!
When we told him about it later and showed him the picture, Vince told us it was a paraglider. House full of opinions!

That sounds like a fun activity, I'm bummed I hadn't heard about it! Way to Go, The cake looks great.
That cake is so cool! Way to go, Et!
Very cute cake!
How fun! Excellent book choices as well.
That was a very cool cake! I alos like the book choices. Some of my favorites! I love the mother's day post. My kids also made gifts at preschool, and it was funny because I am the teacher but my kids were like I can't wait to hide this present from my mom. It was just funny because I was their mom standing right there but they take it so seriously that I am their teacher during preschool.
