We have made it through a complete week of school and I know many of my faithful readers (all 7 of you) are wondering "How did the Castle girls like school?"
Well, they loved it. Their favorite part is the bus ride. If only homeschoolers could all invest in yellow buses. Their children would be so happy. They also enjoy lunch and recess. Iguess they are normal kids after all.
Some observations on my part from the week.
1. I should invest in the Ziploc bag company. Three kids. Three bags a day. Five days a week. You do the math.
2. I made a cake and licked the beaters by myself. I forgot what cake batter tasted like. Mmm.
3. School makes children very hungry. Must. Have. Snack. NOW!
4. 35 hours a week is a lot of time for myself.
5. I miss my kids. Several times a day.
Here's a picture of the cake I made for Susannah's birthday.
And not one kid stuck their finger in the frosting while I was making it.
I kinda missed it.

That's an awesome cake! What did you use to make the frog's "skin"?
It's just frosting that I piped out of a pastry bag. I took Family Living with Miss Flora. You learn how to decorate a cake in that class. Good thing I took that instead of Physics.
very cool cake! i'm a big fan of frogs. that was my classroom theme for my first two years. yeah, i'm definitely rethinking the whole home ec. vs. advanced chem thing now that i'm home all day and not working in a lab somewhere. :) coulda used some more help in the kitchen.
Cute cake. I'm glad to hear that the girls love school.
I took home ec, but I had Debbie Wothe. I kinda just fluffed through the cooking stuff to get to the sewing. However, I still have all of my recipe cards that I had to make. Not that I've used 75% of them. I mainly just copied stuff to get my card quota handed in.
