Little Ladies Club: Cake Wars

It has been too long since we did a Little Ladies Club activity and the girls came up with the idea of doing a Cake War. They wanted to each be able to make their own cake- every step. 
So we decided to do this the week after they got out of school. 
I let them pick out their cake mix and frosting at the store. 
Abi picked a funfetti cake mix. Maddy picked chocolate. 
I let Abi mix hers up first. 




While Abi's cake baked, Maddy began mixing hers. 





Abi baked hers in our Pinkie Pie cake pan and Maddy did hers in two round pans. 
When Maddy's was done she used one circle for her cake and then cut ears out of the other circle. 
We let their cakes cool completely and I did the only part that I did for them.... I mixed up the colors because I didn't want them to use my fancy food coloring quite yet. 
As soon as they were ready to frost they began to decorate. 







The finished cakes- they were so happy!




The funniest thing was that they didn't want me and Doug to say "Oh- it's a tie!" so we had to make a list of a few things for us to vote on. I wrote down skill, taste, texture, creativity, and presentation on a voting sheets for Doug and I. We both gave scores of 1-10. We gave completely different scores. I added them up... and it was a tie! It was really funny.

Life in July

We love spending time at the library. We have two libraries that we can go to. 
Maddy doing some crafts at the Provo library...
 


Puppet shows at the Orem library...





It made me happy when I came downstairs to find the girls like this...


We gave them some bubble guns in their welcome to summer baskets. So in July we took the time to play with them in the backyard.





We went to Finding Dory with my parents. We loved it.


I bought some of those water balloons where it fills all of them up at the same time and they self tie. Those things are awesome. We played outside with those for a very long time.



We found that the ones we bought didn't often break against us. So we figured out that they popped better if you squeezed them.








Pokemon Go became a thing and of course we had to download it onto my phone. 
We live pretty close to a river with a walkway next to it so we went on a long Sunday walk to look at the beauty and hunt some Pokemon.





And there has been a lot of Pokemon go playing since then. And I am always finding pictures on my phone like this...






Orem library even did a Pokemon scavenger hunt so one day when we were visiting the library we took advantage of that!





They have an amazing Harry Potter themed doll house at the library.
















This kid...



We did a lot of reading, of course. 
Sometimes if I couldn't find Maddy I just had to go look in my room and I would find her reading in my bed.


My mom taught Abi how to cross stitch and she spent a couple of weeks working on her very first cross stitch.


I think it turned out so cute.
