more candy

Photobucket


Hope you're having a good Monday! I hung up some outdoor lights, changed a couple of vacuum cleaner bags and am continuing my never-ending organization/clean-up/decoration of the girls' room. Exciting, huh? We finally got A a big girl bed and moved them into the same room last weekend. And so, now the room needs to be re-decorated. I'll take pictures soon! A's old bedroom is now the toy room. But the toddler bed/crib is now empty, and it sort of feels like we're missing someone...

delightful

We went to enjoy Epcot a few weeks ago and got a tip to go see the candy maker in Japan. She was absolutely delightful! Lumps of cornstarch-based candy were transformed before our eyes into animal creatures of all kinds. The creations were free, one per family.

It was mesmerizing to watch her hands work so quickly and skillfully. Who knew candymaking was such an artform?

The girls could hardly wait to eat their cat. It was delicious! Not to sweet and just the right consistency. I hope we can visit the candy maker again!
