J.B. from the record store informed Tom that Memorial Day used to be called Decoration Day. Okay, maybe there were military reasons behind this, but when Tom told this to the kids, it had a whole different meaning.
The task of the day: decorating cakes.
Neko decided to go with a Christmas theme. Her initial concept was with Playmobil, which she mocked up pre-frosting, but then later decided to switch to Rudolph.
Shep, with much encouragement from Art Director Neko, decided to go with a dog theme. A third cake was done for Ellery with Neko's leftover reindeer.
We'll definitely keep in mind the true meaning of Memorial Day, but I have to say, I like this added twist of Decoration Day.
