Cookie Party, Brian’s Cardboard Creations
This afternoon, there was a cookie party at Goddard School–the kids got to decorate cookies with colorful icing and sprinkles. They even made one for me! Brian brought home some of his creations from his Crazy for Cardboard camp at Marbles. He finished up his triangular building at home–he worked hard to make it just as he imagined it, and was pretty proud of the way it turned out.

Read MoreSunday Dinner Watermelon, Grilling
Brian didn’t believe me when I told him that there were yellow watermelons, so when one turned up in our Produce Box, we decided to have a taste test during our Sunday Dinner today!
