An Amazing 4-H Club

Posted by Cindy on December 12, 2007

Just recently, our local 4-H agent, Lois, started a Homeschool 4-H Club.  Can I just tell you how awesome it is???

We decided early on that we wanted it to be hands-on, meaningful and service oriented.  Forget the meeting minutes and officers and such!  Well, we met for our first meeting this week and it exceeded every expectation I had!

The children were asked to bring ingredients to make their favorite Christmas cookie.  They each got to be “Emeril” as they demonstrated their recipe to the rest of the group.  After a cookie tasting party, they loaded up the leftovers and we delivered them to our local fire stations as a Christmas gift.  What fun!!

Next month – making lap quilts.

Breakfast In Bed

Look what I woke up to this morning!!  Mahayla found an old time alarm clock in the basement that she wanted to try out.   It woke her, or should I say EVERYBODY, up at 6:20 this morning.  While Eli and I snoozed on, she put her Betty Crocker cookbook to good use and brought warm cinnamon struesel muffins with grape juice right to my bedside.  Yummy!
