Saturday Dd made brownies from scratch.  She did every step all by herself; all I did was lift the Kitchen Aid mixer up to the counter for her.  She ran the oven, found and gathered and measured all the ingredients.  She used our petrel  to crush up the walnuts and almonds for a topping.  She made the frosting from scratch--also completely on her own.  Her kitchen/cooking skills are really coming along well!

Lots of Field Trips and art projects this week-
















Dd made our Advent candle display out of things around and candles Giz provided last year.
