Fit to be tie-dye

We went to a Lurie Garden class today - though not at the garden, but across the street inside the Chicago Cultural Center - to learn about the tie-dye process, like the plants the color comes from, and make bandanas.

Sweet potato sweets

Grandy had asked Dad to look for big sweet potatoes at the farmer's market so she could do a project with the kids when she came to visit around Halloween.

Dad took that task quite seriously, even calling her from the market to describe what he saw and make sure it was big enough.

What do you think?

Grandy and the kids made these treats with the sweet potatoes.
