Flour Baby

Meghan has a class called "family and consumer sciences" (what we called "home-ec") and in this class they made flour babies. Basically a flour baby is a 5lb. sack of flour, baby clothes, a styrofoam head and some stuffing made into a baby. The kids have to take care of the baby for a week, giving it a name, writing a family tree and taking it home with them. It has been the high light of this semester for Meghan. For a week before they started all Meghan could talk about was making babies. We don't know if it was the project or just the humor behind using the phrase "making babies" that was behind her talking so much about it. She really did enjoy the project, she named her baby Cameron Jacob Hamb and got an "A" for the baby. They are still working on a baby book where they have to chart the growth of a baby and compare to the measurements of the one they made. Here is a picture of her and Cameron.

(By the way Cameron will soon become a batch of cookies)
