Science Fair

Carmen and Anthony both made their own projects for the science fair. Carmen did some research on chickens and eggs, while Anthony learned a few things about XRays and XRay machines.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANTHONY!




Anthony turned 8! We went to school for his birthday celebration in his classroom, joined the kids for the science fair, and went to see his soccer game! He requested a Cubs cake...so here is our attempt! Happy Birthday fun dude!

Top is nearly done


I embroidered the faces on....then embellished a bit with ribbon flowers...and put the borders on. I like the way it is working out. I hope my partner likes it.

Still needs to be squared up a bit.
