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 little Reuben update

I took Reuben in for his 4 year today. Last year...36 lbs 36 inches. This year 39 lbs 39 inches. 73% for weight and 22% for height. The nurse said "Buddy, you are a square!" We knew that already. He got referred to an allergy Dr. On the one hand he is too young to start allergy meds (unless he starts not being able to sleep-then he'd be looking at shots.) but knowing what he is allergic to could help us make better decisions for him (watch pollen counts, tell Jonah there is no dog in his future, etc.) Looks like it is time to start figuring our how to get him to take apple cider vinegar! (Sigh...)
