Monday night we decorated our own paper and followed origami instructions for these fun leaping frogs - for a competitive game of Leap Day frog racing.
We had a very festive evening celebrating these birthdays. So much fun!
Stephanie drew out the plans and cut the cake.
We made the fondant and buttercream and meticulously cut the detail pieces.
It was time to assemble and the first piece was falling apart with every stroke. The more we tried to fix it, the worse it got.
We put all the pieces in the freezer and tried again. Nope, it was just a big, hot mess.
We decided to make rice krispies. It looked like it was going to work perfectly! We thought for just a second to let the krispie tardis set up just a little bit longer, but six hours into this project we just wanted it done!
Back to the fondant we went, rolling, wetting and sticking until we had it looking decent. The weight of the fondant on the, not completely set, rice krispies made our tall tardis, a stocky tardis - but it's still cute.
We made planets to hold the 33 candles, and tonight when the family is over for the three cake birthday celebration, the tardis all ablaze will look fantastic!
Clinic is in 2 weeks - I need to be hunky-dorey because I am ready and so excited for it to start back up! 
My man clan had an apple pie class yesterday, in honor of President's Day, and it was delicious. However, there was one problem. I forgot to have them put a couple of tablespoons of flour in the apple mixture to thicken. When we cut into the pie, it looked like apple soup.
Happy birthday Grandpa Joan! We love you!!
Almost any container you have on hand will work. I got this bowl at Goodwill - it is 11 inches wide and 3 inches high.
Choose your plants. I used a moss that I could divide and three miniature house plants.
Put rocks in the bottom of your container for drainage and top with soil.
Plant your foliage any way you wish and then it is time to embellish.
I made two stone paths amongst the plants and added three miniature terracotta pots under the tallest plant.
I also purchased this darling miniature metal bike. Don't you think a fairy would have so much fun riding it around, especially because it has a wire basket to hold found objects?
And what garden would be complete without a garden frog? I'm sure frogs and fairies are the best of friends.
PS - I think a gnome garden would be adorable too. Seriously, look at these handsome blokes.
This photo was my inspiration.
I followed Anjum Anand's recipe and here is her amazing demonstration video. The only changes I made, is instead of all-purpose flour, we grind our own flour, I used almond milk and olive oil. 
I want to share these four love links that made my day:
Strawberries, blueberries, marshmallows, oranges, bananas and chocolate - lots and lots of chocolate. What a delicious way to end the evening.
On day 2, the man clan made sugar cookies and ate every last one. This time, the cookies are being delivered (and a few snitches will be okay.)
On the menu:
This recipe is so easy and yummalicious.
