Last week in homeschool we learned about patience and what it means to be patient. Along with that we learned about wheat and the process that wheat goes through to become bread. So of course we had to read The Little Red Hen, as well as the Gingerbread Man. And if you read the Gingerbread Man, you might as well make gingerbread cookies. So we did.
If there is one thing my kids know about me, its that I don't like messes! But for the sake of education, I set aside my own druthers and let them roll the dough out on the table, and cut out, then decorate them there as well. When I brought the flour bin out and started sprinkling the table, all three of my kids simultaneously gasped! Then Gabe astonished says "Mom, you're making a mess!" It was priceless. The kids LOVED it. And I gotta admit, I did too.
Yep, this was a day I really enjoyed my kiddos. And by really enjoyed them I mean that I didn't beat my head on the wall and wonder why I procreated!
Kidding! I love them! And they are stinking cute!
