Blue and Gold: American ABC's

"Y" is for Yankees


"J" is for John Deere

"K" is for Kelbre

So last week was our Cub Scout Blue and Gold Banquet. The kids had to draw a letter from a hat, then make a cake that had to do with something American that started with that letter. My kids of course drew "Y" and "J" which weren't exactly easy! Aaron wanted to do Joseph Smith but I didn't think that even he could produce that good of art!

The coolest part of this whole experience was Robby. The night we decided to frost the cakes, Kelbre asked "where is my cake Mommy" and I realized I blew it. It never occured to me to make her a cake too. Robby's baseball was supposed to be two halves put together, to form an actual ball. But he insisted we give one of his halves to Kelbre so she could have something to decorate. Way to go Robby! Once again you have saved the day.
