Cookie Baking Night 07/23/18

Tonight was Cookie Baking Night. In attendance this evening: Carissa, Allison, Rylar, and Enzo. It was Larry and Clara's (my parents) birthday choices tonight. They combined their choices and for supper they asked for french toast, bacon, and strawberries. For their cookie choice: oatmeal cookies (1/2 with walnuts--Larry's request).

For Bible time tonight, we started something new. We're going to work our way through the Bible one book at a time with an overview of each book. Tonight we started with Genesis. While I taught about the book, the kids colored a picture of the word Genesis. We'll take two Cookie Baking Nights per book (unless they're really short), and we'll learn one verse from each book. Tonight's verse is: Genesis 1:1: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." It's a very simple verse but foundational to Christianity and a very important truth to have in our heads while growing up in this current world culture. It will serve us all well to have this verse in our memory bank. 

It was a very busy Cookie Baking Night, but we still managed to squeeze in a trip to the local gas station for a treat. 

As usual, a fun time was had by all. 

Cookie Baking NIght 07/09/2018

Tonight was Cookie Baking Night. In attendance this evening: Carissa, Allison, Rylar, and Enzo.

It was Carissa's birthday choice (she turned 13 years old at the beginning of this month). For supper, she chose, macaroni & cheese, tator tots, and berries. For her "cookie" she chose: Dirt cups (a long time favorite of hers).

Cookie crumbs, pudding, and gummy worms. What's not to love?

As part of Carissa's birthday choice, we went for a walk to the local gas station for a treat. 

It was so fun to have Uncle Greg join us on the walk this evening. 

As usual, a fun time was had by all!
