My family ate my homework.

Amy's homework assignment this weekend was to make something using a kitchen scale.  A suggested recipe for "flapjacks" came home from school, but there was also the option for her to choose her own recipe. I got out our copy of "30 Things to Make and Eat" from the Usborne book series and Amy chose "Sticky Chocolate Cake" for her project: 

Two things really amazed me about this project:

1. My 6-year-old is incredibly bright and capable - she can read a recipe, follow instructions, measure ingredients, wash dishes, and make a cake with nothing but a little supervision.

2. Looking at all these photos, she is so beautiful, isn't she?

PS - the cake tasted yummy too.  Really yummy.
