Mar. 27-31, 2011: Food, Photos, Track, and Cars

So I am not the best at cooking and baking on a consistent basis. But I have a friend who has a cooking blog and she posts new recipes all the time. I was reading through some of these recipes and I was inspired. So I cooked. And baked. And had to take a picture to prove it.

And unfortunately, I once again proved why I dont do this very often. Everyone was salivating over how this s'mores dessert looked. But when we tried it, it was awful. I somehow misred the measurements for the salt and it was pretty much inedible. Darn it!

We were in the car this week waiting at the school to pick up Rohan. Jaden's good friend Liberty was with us and they wanted to take pictures with my camera. So Jaden took a picture of Jacque.

Then Liberty took her turn and took a picture of Jaden. Such a cutie! (Even with the road rash on this forehead.) Then Liberty posed for Jaden to take her picture.

And after several rounds of taking turns, I finally convinced them to let me take one. I love these two kids!

Xander was in the school track meet this year. He ran the 50 yard dash and he ran hard. Because of his December birthday, he ran with mostly 5th graders. He was a little disappointed with his placement but there's always next year!

He also tried the long jump and did fairly well. It took him a couple of times to get the foot placement and not step over the line, but he picked it up fairly quickly!

It was over 100 degrees outside and by the end, poor Jacque had had enough. But Jaden tried hard to keep her happy and entertained while we watched Xander compete.

The scouts had their Pinewood Derby this week. Xander's car was fun to make but was a little spoartic on how fast it was. Sometimes it would lag behind and then it would be ahead of the pack.

But all in all, we had a great time! He won the Most Creative Award for his lego-themed car.
