Dear Boys,
There was a lot of talk yesterday about the approaching blizzard, so much talk that it wasn't until half-way through the day that I realized that Matthew thought that a big LIZARD was coming to Michigan. Poor guy, you were trying to be brave, but we could see you were nervous. We got that all cleared up though and this is what we woke up to after a night of snowfall...
That's the sun on the left, by the way. When it does manage to shine through the almost continuous cloud cover, we try to soak up as much as possible. But it's been warm enough inside for dough to rise on the counter...
And I made these rice-filled, microwavable boot warmers...
And of course, there's hot chocolate...
I also made this little crown for a new big sister...
Now to brave the snow and get to the post office to mail it off!
Do you have a favorite bread recipe? I long to make bread and don't know how.
ReplyDeleteI mostly go out of Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day, once you get the hang of it, it's really easy. But I also use this book called Baking Bread with Children. You just have to keep trying and then it clicks, sort of like knitting.
ReplyDeleteJulia - you are so sweet. Just saw the picture of the crown you made for Eva. :)
