Like Buttah....

Posted in Homeschool Adventures • Oct. 19, 2007
We made butter today!  Tomorrow we are going to make bread to go with it.  Our memory verse for the last couple weeks is John 6:35: "I am the bread of life.  He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty."

Also, we have been learning about the early American settlers, as I mentioned before.  So, our hands-on activity is making bread and butter... yummy AND educational! :)


Violet shaking the cream


Dash took a turn, too!

But in the end, can you guess who shook it and made the butter? 

Yeah,.... it was Jack-Jack ;)

Hey, that's a great activity! I really need to go look at that curriculum! I forgot to the other day......this year one of my goals was to study American history instead of world history and also to do a unit on WA State, which is where we're from.....

Isn't making butter just shaking a jar of heavy cream for a while?? I seem to vaguely remember making butter with the kids sometime in the past......oy, rusty memory!!

Thanks for the post!

It's so good to see you blogging again! :-) We love making butter.... the kids like to do it for family get togethers. How'd the bread turn out? I have never attempted bread before. Might need to give it a whirl, LOL.

I TOTALLY didn't mean to make you feel like that!!! I sometimes get these thoughts and ideas and they kind of burn a hole in my heart, you know?? So I use my blog as an outlet for that......I only mean to lovingly exhort and encourage, cause like I said, I'm running the same race right along with everyone else!! My toes hurt too!!!!!

At the same time, I also love the everyday things too.....like buttah!!!! I steal great ideas from my friends' posts!!!

I have so many ideas for my posts, from the everyday to the deep, that I have to keep a pink legal pad (yes, I'm NOT the yellow legal pad type, pink is prettier and more unusual!!) right next to me to write my ideas down!! Whew! I exhaust myself sometimes!!!

Lots of ***hugs***

Isn't is the best butter in the world?
Especially spread on saltines.
