B is for Bagel | Cooking with Kids

Trey is such a blessed little boy...because his mommy spends time doing fun things with him to help him learn the letters of the alphabet.  Last week, following directions from Pretend Soup, a cookbook for preschoolers that he got for his birthday this year, they made bagel faces for the letter "B"!

What you will need:

• Large Bagels sliced in two halves
• Cream Cheese
• Carrots sliced about 1/4 inch
• Black Olives sliced 1/4 inch
• Cherry Tomatoes
• Red Pepper sliced 1/4 inch strips from the top of the pepper to the bottom
• Cucumbers
• Bean Sprouts

Spread the cream cheese on the bagel, and arrange the ingredients according to the picture below...[mommy's is on the right]... 

the others were made and served to the family by Trey :)

They're Back....

The wedding pictures from the photographer are here....and they are beautiful.  I wish I could share them all...but here are a few:

letter fun

I spent the afternoon making these fun rag quilt letters with Jenna and the boys.  Here are a few that are ready to be washed to give them that raggedy look.  What a great way to teach little ones the alphabet!

 

I have to tell you that Trey didn't actually help with the sewing....when I asked him if he was going to help....without batting an eye, he said, "Boys don't sew!"  hmmmmmmmmmmmm wonder where he heard that?  He was content to carry stacks of cut out backing and batting to the table though.
