Yeah the Sun!

Finally the sun has come out and I am so glad! I know we need the rain, but after a week of it I was ready for some sun. The kids have played outside every waking hour they are home from school. It is good seeing them ride around in their barbie jeep and riding bikes. It means spring is finally here I hope. Today we made an easter egg out of paper. My little one loves to glue and cut and paint. She had a blast doing it. I know that when my 5yr old gets home she is going to want to make one too. Whenever she comes home and sees what we have done craft wise she always wants to try it. Yesterday we made bread. Ever since I found this no fail recipe I have been making it once a week. I remember making bread with my mom when I was this age. I also remember taking the dough and sticking it behind our floor model TV and forgetting about it. My mom searched all over the house for it and finally gave up. I did not remember what I had done with it. Two weeks later when my mom was dusting she discovered the dough. The heat of the TV had cooked it onto the back of it and she had to take a knife and force it off. I remember her fussing a bit, but mostly laughing when she told my dad when he got home from work. My dad made some comment about the fact that I had created a new kind of TV dinner. Needless to say she never let me take the dough out of her sight again. Luckily my little one does not have the urge to cook hers TV style. :) She just loves kneading it and then eating the dough. She always leaves enough to bake though. They all love the little rolls they make. They eat them fresh out of the ofen with butter smoothed all over them.

Here she is kneading the dough. Notice the tell-tale flour on her face from her sampling the dough.

Here she is just before we are putting it in a bowl to rise.

Here is her easter egg she made.
