Cookie Baking Night (01/23/2023)

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



Tonight we made Grandma Dee's recipe for Mud Cake. It's an Oseid Family favorite. 





It turned out pretty good. The kids like it best without frosting, so our job ended there. Easy peasy.




For our Bible time this year, we started a new Bible book series from Kaleidoscope. It's a company that is writing an illustrated children's Bible, book by book. It's written at an elementary child level. I've ordered a few of them so I can read them ahead of time. Papa-Larry has also read them ahead of time as my test focus group. He really likes them. 

So, I decided to start with the Book of Romans, titled "The Greatest Hero". So far, they really captured the kids' attention, from oldest to youngest, and has sparked a lot of good conversation. I orderd a coloring book that goes with each book too. The kids color a page while I read a couple chapters from the book. It's been working out very well so far. I would definitely recommend Kaleidosope Kids' Bible books as a resource. 



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

Today was my 11th treatment of Taxol. Only 1 left to go, and I am grateful! This past week was a bit of a low-energy week for me and more of...
