Grass Heads
We just started an awesome science curriculum which I love so far. It is called Mystery Science. I would highly recommend it for homeschoolers or classroom teachers. Our first experiment was making these lovely grass heads (I know the photos are terrible quality). The kids had to plan how to position the head to make the hair grow the way they wanted it. They are pretty excited about giving them haircuts. Eli's head is not pictured because it is having some serious balding issues ;)

Gnocchi
Tonight I remembered why I never make gnocchi. I always anticipate it being a much easier task than it actually is. But, I did it with the "help" of 3 little people and we did thoroughly enjoy it for supper tonight. Here is the recipe I used just in case anyone is feeling like taking on the world and making some gnocchi.

Party Time!
We glued tissue paper to it after it had dried for 24 hrs. I have to admit, I did not have high hopes for the sturdiness of our pinata, but it actually held up well! They each got to take many swings at it before it started to give way.
Next up was the cake...my son loves baseball, so I thought I would try a simple baseball cake. I am one of those people who sees a picture of beautifully decorated cookies or cupcakes and thinks, that doesn't look too hard, I'm sure I can do it. Then, it ends up it is way harder than it looks and I have to tell people my children helped me decorate them! But, this actually is as easy as it looks. I just baked a cake in an oiled, oven-safe bowl and it came out great.
There was a little crack, but nothing a little icing can't fix.
The finished product...don't look too closely at my stitching.
All in all we had a great celebration and it was an added bonus that the cake and pinata turned out :)
