Beach Day, Science Fair, and Monster Cupcakes

Sophie was part of the Beach Day committee at school this year.  The students got to wear beach attire to school, eat their lunch on beach towels, and play beach-themed games.  Sophie was excited to contribute these fun beach cupcakes:

The EMES/EMMS science fair was several weeks ago.  Hannah did a project about how long it took various candies to dissolve in water.  This was the first year that she did an individual project rather than a class project.  Here is her (almost) finished display board:

And here she is telling the admissions counselor all about her project:

Sophie's class did a very similar project, in which they saw how different liquids affected candies.  Here's Sophie with her class project:

This past weekend we made cupcakes just for the fun of it.  Hannah had been wanting some chocolate pudding filled ones (a first for me!), and Sophie had been wanting to make monster cupcakes for awhile.  So we made one batch of vanilla cupcakes.  Hannah's got the pudding treatment, along with chocolate frosting and sprinkles.  Sophie's got cream cheese frosting, decorated as "monsters" by Sophie herself.

I started teaching Hannah's Sunday school class this past Sunday.  I will be rotating weeks with another teacher, three weeks on and three weeks off.  Our lesson this week was on choosing God over things.  I took some of Hannah's cupcakes and some of Sophie's for snack in Sunday school and allowed the students to choose which they would rather have.  Overwhelmingly Sophie's monster cupcakes were a hit!
