4-H Fair

This is our 5th 4-H fair and each year the girls get more and more involved.  This year I had two home arts managers.  They helped with the clean up and set up.  They also helped with getting the projects displayed in the correct areas.  They also between the two of them had 50 projects they submitted.  Many of these were done over the year.  But several they did within the last month of the fair.

They both wanted to bake this year too.  My oldest never wants to bake, but she really wanted to make cupcakes.  So we looked online for a cupcake recipe and we found the most amazing cupcakes.  pumpkin cupcakes with maple cream cheese frosting.  She required little help in the kitchen.  This mama is feeling pretty amazing and proud at how she has grown.

My youngest need a little help baking but is pretty amazing with what she bakes.  She made two baking projects.  A no-bake chocolate pb crunch and her amazing donuts.

Chloe really wanted to get a purple ribbon and her wish came true with those pumpkin cupcakes.  She is so proud!  And now she really wants a court of honor ribbon.  Which means she needs to step up her projects and work a little harder.  She is ready to do this.

Amber wants to make court of honor next year.  She wants that purple ribbon.  She also knows she has to step of her projects.
I'm very proud of both my girls and the lessons they are learning in 4-H.  I was in 4-H as a child for about 3 years and I have many fond memories.  I'm glad i'm able to give them the same opportunity.

So we now go into our 6th year of 4h.
