Pretty flowers at the church this afternoon.

Sarah is wrapping up her cake decorating honor with the required "special occasion cake of her choice". Her instructor is having a birthday on Pathfinder night, so that's what she picked. Chocolate cake with chocolate mousse filling and chocolate butter cream frosting - based on her instructor's favorite! I had her make it all from scratch too - might as well work on her baking honor while she's at it!

Tonight is Sarah's final concert with the Discovery Chorus. Her friend Grace came along and was doing her hair on the way.

Today was the last day of choir practice for the kids. I took these pictures at the church where I dropped the oldest boy off.

We had one of our Pathfinders over today to work on her Fire Building & Camp Cookery honor. We had to boil, fry, simmer, cook in foil, bake bread on a stick, and cook something in a reflector oven. So, in that order, we made eggs, potatoes, chili beans, corn on a knob, campfire biscuits, and individual pizzas.
This honor is a required one for the older group known as Voyager. But since it was at our house, and doesn't have any particular prerequisites, we let Hannah & Sarah tag along, too.
Oops, I already missed a day this year.

I never noticed how pretty the flowers are in the spring on the Horse Chestnut tree in my yard, until our housemate took a picture earlier this week!

These beautiful roses are at my boss's house. I love the bright colors.
Sarah finished her cake today! Didn't she do a great job?

Sarah is still working on her cake decorating honor for Pathfinders. She has two more cakes to finish. A special occasion cake with flowers, and a specialty cake done with stars. She's starting on her specialty cake tonight.

Today is one year since I restarted this project! I did pretty good, only missing a few days here and there. Yes, Ann, I'll keep on going!
Moat of the Pathfinder staff, as well as a couple of our teen Pathfinders, took a CPR class at the church tonight. The teacher was great, making the class both informative and fun!

The only picture I took today was a sneaky one of the guy in front of me at the grocery store. His express lane order... I had 6 items.

Out to dinner with friends for Jen's birthday. Willing Heart plus a sister and a daughter (who took this picture so isn't in it).

Asalia forgot her sash at Pathfinders. Again. Lol (I needed a picture of it for updating her records anyway!)
