more doings

Sylvia got a cupcake decorating kit for an early birthday present.  We wanted to try it out without a lot of fuss, so we bought muffins (regular and gluten-free) and got right to decorating.

Then we turned these...

 ...into these.

And another trip to the state capitol to participate in civics in action.  There were considerably less people there than last week, but we saw many familiar faces and friendly folks, including plenty of homeschoolers.  Many of the firefighters, police officers, and union workers took the time to thank my girls for coming out in support.

I know the picture's dark, but that's a queen crown and a parrot hat.  Any occasion is a dress-up occasion for these girls :)
