Everyday after school, Luke likes to come home and prepare a special snack for Abby.  He asks that I distract Abby so that it will be a surprise, then he sets everything up.

Abby just started to take soccer class at school.  She was very proud of the Curious George soccer shirt that she picked out!

Luke was so excited to decorate a cake at Make.  He knew exactly what he wanted to do…Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.  He made all of the decorations by hand, and was working so hard that he didn’t even notice that people were ooh-ing and aww-ing at his creation!
