""MOM--I'M BORED". The all too often uttered words of kids out of school for the summer. The mom's challenge--(1) to avoid the ever popular "go clean your room" response (2) to come up with something that does not involve turning off the brain and on the electronics and (3) make it worth the investment to do an activity. Our latest and greatest was trying the kids hands at decorating a cake. We have a friend, Carrie Crow (thechocolatedelilah.com) that makes phenomenal chocolates and cakes that "offered" to help the kids with some techniques in return for letting her 2 year old run through our leaky world. So, with her help and guidence they learned some basic star patterns, some borders, some swirly lines and some writing. It was a fun activity for them all and then of course, we all had to go cool off. I think it is something that our kids will have some fun with on birthdays and special occasions. I see a few more cakes in our future.
