Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration plans:

We will watch his famous speeches (online - what an amazing thing we are blessed to have with the internet), then I will have the kids spend a little time thinking about their dreams.  I will have them create a mobile and I hope to see some of these dreams of theirs come true. 

Here are the links I used:

Fluffy Cloud Dessert

*Allow an hour or more for freezing*
1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 (.23-ounce) package Kool-Aid (any flavor)

Place evaporated milk in a mixing bowl and freeze for about 1 hour or until frozen around edges. Using chilled beaters, whip with an electric mixer on high until fluffy. Gradually add sugar and Kool-Aid powder and continue beating until stiff. Freeze until ready to serve.  For a softer, mousse like texture, let sit out a bit before serving.
