A MORNING OFF

So nice to have a long weekend.  The kids have off Friday and Monday and we are loving just relaxing together....although being someplace a little less hot would be nice!  Becca has been into baking, so many/most all the books she gets from the library are kids baking books.  This week she came home with another one, so we decided to pick a recipe and give it a try-yogurt pops.  She made her little shopping list-I never thought a trip to the grocery store could be so exciting along with  to cutting up fruit and useing a blender...all with the help of many little hands-including our neighbor friends.  We needed a bigger counter!  Turned out the pops actually tasted pretty good-especially when everyone was super hot!  

    We continued our baking with cinnamon rolls.  The kids keep telling me the store bought ones are not very good so with some extra time on our hands we tackled making home made rolls....turned out super yummy!  Hopefully we can save some from Ron who is out tackling the road/heat for another long bike ride with Young Life.

Funny how each kids has a favorite part in the baking process.  Becca loves to punch down the dough and best of all rub the butter all over the rolled dough.  Brayden was all about rolling out the dough, and sprinkling cinnamon.  Andrea was the champion raw dough eater along with using her baking gloves to help with the oven.  James just tags along and enjoys eating the most!
