Xay just finished the Jules Verne classic. He’s had the book from the library since September, or was it August? It was over 400 pages, and Xay told me about the captain and the shipmates at the end, so I take it that he understood what he was reading.

What impressed me most was that he volunteered to do a creative book report. Although, he didn’t know it was a book report until I told him it was. Xay wanted to make a jello aquarium with gummy fish and neon gummy worms, and jelly beans for stones.

Xay makes jello

It was his first time working with jello, and we bought the generic store brand. It took so long to set up that the jelly beans had lost most of their color by the time it was jelled. Many of the fish had sunken down to the bottom of the bowl by the time we had jello. The rest had to be stuffed in the opening of the *fishbowl.*

It was good snacking during the long Thanksgiving cooking time.
