Pick up a roadmap, you’re going to need it…

I’m sitting at work and the boys are eating lunch. I cherish these little glimpses of peace in the middle of the craziness that is the school day.

Today we made pumpkin pie and now it sits on the top of the oven cooling. They are doing a course called homelife and it was one of the assignments that they could choose from to do. I chose this one for them – and I think I chose well. It was fun to get all three boys working on the project together. They had so much fun.

It’s been nice because we’ve been talking about creation in Bible lately. Today we looked at Adam and Eve getting kicked out of the garden – but I’ve regressed. They have had lots of questions about creating things and how God could have thought “it was good.”

So we mix all the ingredients, avoid a few blow ups, and eventually pulled the pie out of the oven. The first words out of their mouths was “it is good.” They all had this gleam in their eyes that showed how proud they were of their work.

I think they got it – how God could be proud of what He had made.

I can’t wait to get pictures of them tasting the pie with the homemade whipped cream I made them.

I’m proud of them. Not many 6,7 and 11 year olds can say they made a pie by themselves. (Well, except for the using the oven part.)
