Tonight was Cookie Baking Night. In attendance this evening: Carissa, Allison, Rylar, Enzo, and Abigail.
Tonight we made two different treats. In honor of Uncle Greg's upcoming birthday, we made one of his favorite treats, butterscotch marshmallow squares.
Because it is getting warmer outside, we went with treats that don't require the use of an oven. Our second treat was Chex bars, which is the complete opposite of Uncle Greg's favorite (more like his kryptonite), but they don't contain coconut, so they are a little more the kids' speed (sometimes you have to compromise).
Bible Time: We're still working through The Jesus Storybook Bible. Tonight we read "Filled Full" from Matthew 13, Mark 6, and Luke 9 as well as "Treasure Hunt" from Matthew 13.
We also played a game we haven't played for quite awhile. It's called the "Books of the Bible Cup Game" (the title is a work in progress). This game isn't on the market currently. But if you have access to some cheap plastic cups and a label maker, you too could own this game. I came up with this game several years ago in an effort to teach the children the books of the Bible. We've played it sporadically throughout the years.
It's pretty simple. There are 66 cups. Each cup has the name of a book of the Bible on it.
We divided into two teams and split the cups up into "Old Testament" books and "New Testament" books.
I called out the books of the Bible from the Old and New Testament and each team had to find the books, run them down to the other side of the yard, and line them up in order.
Can you guess who the main runner was for the Old Testament team?
We ended the evening with a lively game of "Headbanz". Since it's very close to Uncle Greg's birthday, we let him choose the game tonight.
Blocks are a little more Abigail's speed at this point in her life. When I brought them out, a delighted "Ooooooo" escaped from her lips.
Another Cookie Baking Night has come and gone and, as usual, a fun time was had by all.
