Busy Baking Bee

I've been really busy lately trying to benefit myself in every way possible...one being baking, vegan style of course. I've got to get better about updating my blog because I have way too many tasty desserts to share with you! I apologize for some of these pictures, they're from my phone. Anyways, enjoy!

Nintendo Bros. Book Part 1

Did you read Haunted Games? If not, the two boys I take care of a few times a week are now interested in making their own stories. The other night, when I worked a double, the three of us created a book based on a few of their favorite characters from Nintendo. The only help I gave were a few drawings, some coloring and writing whatever they told me to. The rest was drawn and colored by a seven-year-old and his four-year-old brother occasionally threw in a line or two. The first installment in what looks to be an upcoming series:

Nintendo Bros. Book! Part 1

Mario is the hero of Peach. His brother is Luigi. And he always beats up Bowser when he is up to his usual tricks. He is also a plumber but rides a dragon named Yoshi. His other enemy is Wario. Mario loves Princes Peach. IT'S A ME!

Princess Peach always gets captured. Mario, her hero, always swoops in to save the day. She lives in a castle in Mushroom Kingdom with Toad and loves Mario.

Wario is the opposite of Mario. He is greedy for gold. His brother is Waluigi. He rides a motorcycle. He causes mischief all over the world. He foes gross things and shakes things up...even his booty!

Yoshi is the friendliest thing on the island. He has the same nemesis as Mario- Bowser! Yoshi popped out of an egg and he can shoot eggs too! He is always open to help.

Bowser is the eviliest, most terrifying koopa ever! He crushes everyone in his way with his shell. He kidnapped Princess Peach. He's the meanest and grumpy, too! Mario always kicks his butt when Bower is up to his evil tricks. He lives in a castle with lava and fire.

The End

Feeling Ambitious? Read These Too! (sorry for all the LOST posts)
