This year, we took a new route home. With the flooding in Iowa and Nebraska we had to detour North anyway, so we decided to head a little more North and see Martin's Cove, Crazy Horse, and Mt. Rushmore. It was a pleasant and scenic drive. I had never been to the beautiful state of South Dakota before. It was a great day.
This was the first day of school 2011. I wonder how much longer we'll be able to pull off the Bates Family Totem Pole. Audrey is quickly gaining on Sophie in height. This year Landon is in seventh grade, William in fourth, Sophie in second and Aud in pre-school a few hours a week.
This was the girls first sewing project. They designed the bags and we sewed them up, all from things we had in the sewing box. Sophie loves stuff like this. She is the arts and crafts queen.
Audrey turned four and wanted a Barbie Cake. I had to double the cake recipe to get that skirt up to Barbie'e hips. We have been eating way too much cake since the big day.
These girls love to be silly.
