Well that was a quick week; I knew it would be. Not much schooling beyond what they can do self directed and independently, and that's just fine for now. There will be plenty of time to get through our Tapestry of Grace studies, and for the teenager to work through some Hillsdale Academy stuff as well, during our long Minnesota winter...
You Need:
- Heat oven to 450 F. Line pie plate with crust. Spread cream cheese in 6" circle in center (unless your husband detests cream cheese...)
- Toss apples with sugar and flour, spoon over cream cheese.
- Fold crust partially over apples. Sprinkle with cinnamon (or 'cinnamon sugar').
- Bake 25 min, covering loosely with foil for last 5 min. Cool. Top with whipped cream.
- Enjoy!
So easy- older kids can slice the apples, younger kids can toss with flour and sugar, any kids can help assemble, and everyone can eat and enjoy!
*Large family tip: Make 2! (Those refrigerated pie crusts come in 2 packs anyway, right?!)
Well, I got a few naps in the 1st three days after having our new little guy, but I haven't gotten a nap in since. My brain was feeling the effects of fatigue last night, according to my eyelids. I think I need to go to bed earlier, it's just so against my nature, or at least my long ingrained bad habits... Adjusting to waking up every 2 hours to nurse at night always takes me a couple weeks. I'm hoping to settle into a decent schedule soon (tomorrow would be nice) as there is so much on my mind to be doing- fall crafts with kids, Thanksgiving unit study, crafting, sewing, decorating, quilting, baking, oh, and some knitting too...
I may try to knit up another Baby Shrug, this time for my little Mercy, who will soon be turning 2! Remember this? Or this? Or this? How 'bout this? Or this? Oh, how time flies... Believe me, I'm soaking this one up, and taking a ton of pictures- yay! for digital cameras!
Off to cuddle and nurse, nurse and cuddle...
Enjoying them,
because of Him-
