Cookie Baking Night 06/24/19

Tonight was Cookie Baking Night. In attendance this evening: Ethan, Carissa, Allison, Rylar, and Enzo. It was Carissa's birthday choice tonight (in a week, she'll turn 14 years old). For supper, she chose macaroni and cheese, berries, and tator tots. For her "cookie" she chose Dirt Cups (a long standing favorite for her).

Summertime is a time for walks through the neighborhood and ice cream treats. 

Okay everybody, say it with me now: "Awww". 

We continued with our walk through the Bible with 2 Samuel tonight. 

We ended the evening with a lively game of Zingo. 

Another Cookie Baking Night has come and gone and, as usual, a fun time was had by all. 

Cookie Baking Night 06/10/19

Tonight was Cookie Baking Night. In attendance this evening: Ethan, Carissa, Allison, Rylar, and Enzo. Tonight we made Scotcheroos (cereal, peanut butter, sugar mixture with melted choc chips and butterscotch chips on top).

Tonight, we learned about the book of 1 Samuel in the Bible. This book starts out with the life of Samuel but mainly focuses on the life of David. David was chosen by God to be king over Isreal because he had a heart for Him. As God was instructing Samuel who would be the next king, each one of Jesse's sons walked before him. As he saw each one taller and stronger than the next he was sure that God had chosen that one to be king, but it was the youngest and least likely in appearance to be chosen. "But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the LORD sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart." 1 Samuel 16:7

We ended the evening with walk to the local gas station for a treat. 

As usual, a fun time was had by all.
