my son the baker...

I have been very blessed to find a mom & kid group that meets on Tuesday mornings not far from where I live. I think this is my third year attending. One of the biggest things that attracted me to the group was that while the moms were doing a Bible Study and fellowship, the kids were also doing a Bible study and having fellowship. There is also other homeschooling families that attend so there is a class for the elementary age kids.
This is CO's first year to be a part of the elementary group. He was VERY nervous and it was hard to convince him that being in Grade 1 means that he can do more and better things.  Well, this groups has been great for him and he now runs into the church building each Tuesday to meet up with his class. This week he was in charge of 'snack'. He planned for weeks what he was going to make. His plans kept changing as he was inspired by new recipes and photos. In the end he settled on cupcakes. They were marble (blue, yellow and red) with chocolate icing. He LOVED doing this, and was capable of doing most of it himself, I unfortunately have zero photos of him baking or the finished product. I need to get my camera out more. I have been terrible at capturing our daily life these last few months.
This morning, CO decided that he needed to also bring juice boxes (so we swung by the grocery store on the way to the church). The cupcakes must have been a hit as they all disappeared. I sprang for a bag of apples when we were at the grocery store (none were eaten)...

T loves his class too, but hates the fact that his brother is in a 'big boy' class and he is with preschool and kinder aged kids. The teachers change every couple of weeks (as they are volunteers) and T's teacher today brought in a guitar...T LOVES music so his class was a big hit today.

B is B :) she struts with confidence wherever she goes. She walks into the nursery, hands her 'purse' to one of the ladies and then marches off to play with the toys.

The book the moms are studying at this current time is about encouragement. I am getting a lot out of the study and am so blessed to have found this group.
