the boys baked. all the messy mixing went fine, but then there is the waiting, that's the hard part. first it must bake, then cool off. the essence of torture.
pearls, atlas, a little bit of drawing, followed by some touching and just plain staring. and a whole lot of "can we taste now?" from the moment it went into the oven till i said yes. and then we had cake.
So sweet. I am sure the cake was very tasty, because they made it.

You seem to understand the heart of childhood so well. I love these sweet photos. They remind me of my daughter's home school days.
ReplyDeleteOh that is one of the hardest things to do! The waiting... Warm cake is heavenly :^)
