The Twinkle Beans

For the past 9 months or so the little guys have been studiously working on their "twinkles jar" with Suzuki cello.  Their teacher gave them a mason jar full of beans (800?!) and their job was to move one bean from the jar to another jar every time they played one of their twinkle variations.  It took us a little while... !  When you are done you are supposed to celebrate and make bean soup with the beans.  I thought that bean soup might not seem like a huge reward to the kids (LOL!) so we decided to try an ice cream cake, as they've never had one before!

It was a hit.  Great work, little guys!
