Ever since Nat made a cake for me on Mother’s Day, she’s made a few more. I think she likes decorating the cakes more than making sure they taste good though.

4th of July cake with her sous chef Sienna

For my birthday, she (with the help of David) made an ice cream cake.

Aunt Birdie bought some cake making supplies for Nat for her birthday, so she made her a Moby cake.

Both kids had a lot to say today.

And Nat’s email:

mum and dad,
Today was boring again, but less hot. I didn’t go anywhere except across the street to play with Kiora. We painted (again for the zillionth time). I feel like that’s all we do. The worst part of the day was the fact that everything is boring here when there’s no one here. The best part was probably sleeping late. I’ve also been watching the same anime that Tyler mentioned in his letter. It has a pretty bad plot, but it’s kinda funny and gives me something to do. My favorite character is Ryuunoske (REE-un-O-skay). He’s funny in a nerdy way which i find rather amusing. I just finished the last episode, and there’s this part where this girl Rita who likes Ryuunoske tricks him into kissing her. When giving Ryuunoske a hand shake, she keeps hold of his hand and tackles him. You probably don’t really care about my anime but there’s nothing else to type about. In the shower, i dropped the soap bar so i bent over to pick it up. I came up really fast and smacked my forehead super hard on the water knob. I fell back over. It hurt a lot. Anyway, i’m excited for you guys to come back so I can finally do things.
