Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to Mrs. Black.

A couple weeks ago, Cait declared that Mrs. Black's birthday was coming up and what she really wanted was pencils.  That seems appropriate for a 1st grade teacher.  We found some colorful pencils, but tying them in a bundle seemed a little bland for such a creative teacher.  So, we thought of turning those same pencils into birthday candles and our project grew and grew until this cake was on the to-do list. Cait and I built this today and even the brothers wanted in on the project.   I hope all those flames aren't too dangerous for school tomorrow.
