Yesterday and Today...

Yesterday... Bryant toured the Presidential Yacht. He came home with some great pictures and lots of fun facts and information. For example, the US government sold it for $270,000 at auction as directed by President Carter in 1977. The current owner purchased it 10 years ago for $10.8 million! Anyone can "rent" it out for 4 hours at the going price of $10,000.
(Please do not expect us to entertain you with a trip down the Potomac the next time you're in town... well, unless you're paying!)




Today... we cleaned house (a little), folded laundry and baked a cake (from scratch). The best part according to the kids is getting to lick the beaters, spatula and yes they did ask to lick the bowl too!


I however, cooked it in a bundt pan... and I don't have any luck with bundt pans. Half of the cake stayed in the pan! But it still tasted great! Seriously, looks don't matter when you top it with powdered sugar and strawberries!
While it was cooking, the kids practiced some sewing skills or lacing...




And Eli... well he just slept all day.
