Sugarless Apple Cookies.

3/4 C dates (chopped-mine came chopped)
1/2 C peeled apple (finely chopped)
1/2 C raisins
1/2 C water
1 C + 1 Tbs all-purpose flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
2 eggs

In a 2-qt saucepan, combine dates, aples, raisins and water.  Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes.  Remove from heat; cool.  (At this point I blened the mixture because my kids are texture people and I knew that any chunks would be spit back on the the plates!) Combine flour, cinnamon and baking soda.  Stir into apple mixure and mix well.  Add eggs and beat them in well by hand.  Drop by tablespoonfulls baking sheet.  Bake at 350 for 10-12 min.

Audrey really liked these because I let her have cookies for breakfast.  I may try them in bar form because bars are so much faster than cookies!

A Very Late Posting of 1st Day of Enrichment Class!

 Yep, enrichment classes started over a month ago and I am just now posting the "First Day of Class" photos.  This year we cut back to just one day.  It is lovely.  Jonah and Audrey are both taking art and science.  Jonah is also taking drama.  I am really curious to see how he does with that because he has been really excited about it.  The back packs are completely unnecessary, but a must for the back to class picture!     Getting Ready to head out!   Miss Poser as she gets ready to go inside!    Way too cool for this   Me too Mom!  

A "Spring" Field Trip

This morning when the kids woke up I told them to put on short sleeves because we had a surprise field trip. We met Gramma B and Gramma Great at the Botanical Center and got to pretend it was spring!   By the orchids   Lovely Lady (She has been waiting for short sleeve weather so that she can wear this sweater!)     Grandmas and the kids   Look at the fish!   Me and my babes!     What is this?      This inside of the fig   He looks as disturbed as I was to find out that they throw out the plants in the two themed beds every 6 weeks!  (We kind of wanted to take them home!)   Not sure if this is the wall's intended purpose!     What a great brother!   Group shot!
