Hot Stuff

I'm sure everyone is wondering where the blog post about "that special boy" is, so here you go. This is a pretty outdated picture, but you can get a feel for what he looks like. Meet Ryan Sharp, a boy who has been in our ward for years and just transferred into MarMar's spectrum class! Mary has good taste; he's super obedient, friendly, and sweet, with just enough of a taste for fun. 

Showin' Their Stuff

Mary and Jordan proudly display their "Doctorate Degrees" (Mary's new, Jordan's old) from Mrs. Parrish's class. 

Cousin Roan

Katie, Jenny, and the kids came to visit. It was a blast for Mary. Everyone was especially fond of little baby Roan. Mary was very sweet; talking to her in a soft voice and handling her very, very, gently.

Cake Decorating.

Mary took a cake decorating class held by the city for kids her age. The best part was that she took it with cousin Nora. That, and all the delicious cakes they got to eat. 

"Trust me, I'm a Doctor!"

 Mary tells the class what she did to meet her requirements. 

In Mrs.Parrish's class, each of the students makes a goal to earn a certain degree. As they achieved one, they could move on and try for another. The requirements to earn the "degree" got progressively harder and harder, so it was quite the feat for Mary to earn her doctors. It was a lot of work, and we were all so proud of her. 

Invention Fair

 Mary greets Christian as he visits her display in the multipurpose room.

 Mary preps herself to explain her invention. Down by her feet you can see her cleverly designed diorama to illustrate how her blanket would look in the average bedroom. 

Mary's class was a part of an "invention fair" at her school. Mary's invention was the "Senket" or sensor blanket. The idea was a blanket with a sensor so that it would make your bed for you in the morning and tuck you into it at night. Can you imagine anything better? Though her effort was last minute, she worked very hard and carefully on her project. When all was said and done, I'm sure she wished she had had a Senket to be tucked into that night. 

Hot Rocks

When the cat's away, the mice will play. When Mommy and Daddy head out for dinner, Sarah cracks open her Pinterest page for fun things to do. This is Mary's absolute favorite; hot rocks. As you can see, she has a knack for this craft. Heat rocks in a 375 degree oven for at least fifteen minutes. Then color them with wax crayons. We recommend the "drip" method, which Mary demonstrates above.
