Kylin and Caleb had fun picking veggies from the garden, and then we had an impromptu cooking and knife handling lesson when the kids decided to make soup.

Kylin was inspired by Camille's new book, Generation T: 108 Ways to Transform a T-Shirt
and made a "Flashdance"-style T.Our Super Hula-Hooper!
