We had a fairly typical weekend this weekend. Lately I've been trying to get our weekly grocery shopping done on Friday afternoons after school, which frees up Saturday for other chores and tasks. This weekend was a baking weekend, so I made three loaves of bread on Saturday, as well as doing laundry, cleaning bathrooms, checking my parents' mail, and going for an afternoon run. It was windy Saturday, so the first half of my run was very difficult running into the wind.
Charles started painting the dining room in the color scheme that he and his coworkers worked out. The trim is called shark skin. While he was painting, Hannah was conducting her science fair experiment. She tested which candy dissolves fastest in a cup of water. She checked each cup every few minutes, as well as taking pictures and recording observations along the way. She's quite the budding young scientist!
Hannah found a recipe for cinnamon bread sticks that she wanted to try. We found a similar recipe for Sour Cream Twists in the Mennonite Country Cookbook, so we gave that a go today. They turned out quite well, as you can see by the photograph above. My neighbor group will enjoy some of these on Tuesday as well, since the recipe makes 36 twists... far more than we can eat! I even froze eight of them that I didn't have enough icing for anyway. I'm sure Hannah will enjoy spreading Nutella on them instead. She does love her Nutella!
One final photograph, leftover from a couple of weeks ago, of a couple of very adorable shepherds:
