Strange Sights and Birthdays

So last month I celebrated my birthday by enjoying a weekend in the Seattle area.  I just want to say I love Seattle! 

That being said, there are some strange sights to behold.  Take the giant eraser tool monument up top.  What's that about?  What artist thought, "Hey, I'll just make a gigantic eraser and call it art!"?  Who does that?

Then there was this guy dressed as a storm trooper.  I love Star Wars probably more than the next girl, but this was a bit odd.  BTW, no one was in Darth Vader's suit.

 

So, this happened.  And it was yummy!

 

This is not a strange sight, although notice even Darth Vader couldn't resist creeping in for a photo bomb!

Lola the Service Dog

Lily had the opportunity to work with her Kindergarten teacher over the summer.  The project they chose was service dogs.  Lily read stories, baked treats, and did art projects about service dogs.  The very final assignment was meeting Lola the service dog!

Lemonade Cake

If you're looking for an extremely sour cake frosting--talk to Emma!  She made this lemonade cake, then we made up our own lemonade frosting by using packets of Crystal Light.  It had the puckered effect.
