How do you like your bread?


I love homemade bread, but I'm kind of finicky with texture. Light and fluffy sounds just about right. I'm still working up to meeting prior years bread quota, what with a baby and all ... I'm doing my best. So last night I made some bread, because it was much needed. Will pulled the loaves out of the oven for me(I think I was falling asleep in the chair), and I thought they looked a little blonde, but still nice looking. I was about to get ready for bed when Will decided he wanted some warm bread. Who can refuse? So I joined him. He handed me a slice of bread and butter, and I almost gagged. Doughy bread!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't stand doughy bread. I gag at almost every bite. I couldn't even finish it, but Will loved it! This morning I baked my toast in the oven just to dry it out as much as possible. The kids didn't even want their bread toasted hardly, and thoroughly enjoyed the soft gooey texture of doughy bread. To each his own I guess, but for me, I like my bread well done, not medium rare.

The Most Important Meal of the Day


This morning my boys woke me up to tell me they were all ready for the day and the table was set for breakfast. When summer started I decided to try to make a schedule of sorts. Each day they have a list of things to do to get ready in the morning to cross off. When it's done, they are ready for the day. Usually I help them through it a bit, but today they did it all. They told me we were having cereal for breakfast too. I took a picture of them and their handiwork.

It was a great start to the day!
