Recipe testing!

Check out the owl sugar cookies I made today!  I learned, don't try to cook a candy corn for the beak...it will melt (I had my suspicions).  So stick them in after or use a cashew like I did. 

Halloween Pillowcases at Camp my Birthday week!

Check out the cute pillowcases we made at Kindergarten Camp! What a sweet group of girls.

This is my birthday week too, so with my older kids, whose camp fell ON my birthday, we had a birthday party for me, complete with cake and "party bags"  (Note: kids are so happy with a few take-apart erasers). Here are the kids and I happy to have made a pillowcase and have eatten cake! :)

No camp would possibly be complete if each girl didn't get a quick turn on the swing out front.

Mom's Quilt Camp!

Tonight was the last installment of "Quilt Camp for Moms" where students made Churn Dash Quilts, set on point.  We had SUCH fun, sewing, eating, drinking, chatting, and laughing.  Check out some of the quilts!

Kindergarten Camp Rocks!

Here are my 5 lovely ladies after spending the afternoon baking chocolate chip pumpkin muffins :)  We were careful to taste the chocolate chips before adding them to the batter, to "make sure they were okay"...that is always a rule here.  This is such a sweet group of girls.  One of them kept saying "I feel so good when I help my friends." 

Pumpkin Season is open at Bare Feet Creations!

This week we are making chocolate chip pumpkin mini-muffins!  YUM!  My older girls came today and we whipped out a ton of mini-muffins.  My house if filled with the coziest, yummiest smell of Fall.  It's hot out, but we are still welcoming Fall here.

Here are the girls mixing the ingredients together.

Filling tiny tins is harder than you might think!  We all resisted the urge to lick our fingers and kept it "clean."

I just LOVE this last photo with one of my first grader's awesome art on her recipe page.  The girls will all go home at the end of the year with their own recipe book filled with recipes of the goodies we make here at camp.  The muffins are filling the skeleton basket, ready to greet parents when the arrive to pick up their girls. 

Pizza!

Each of my "Bare Foot Campers" made a homemade pizza to take home to feed their appreciative  families tonight!  We had such  fun.  JUST as we were finishing putting the cheese on, THE ICE-CREAM man came through the cul-de-sac...what's a mom to do?  Send 8 rushing, screaming, happy, darling girls outside to stop him OF COURSE.  Popsicles all around.  We had a really, really fun day today.  Thanks to all the parents who lend me their daughters for creative play!

We also read "Heart Bread." This is SUCH a great book for kids, about how there are 2 kinds of breads.  Bread of flour and yeast, like we made today and "Heart Bread" where you make bonds and trust with people you love that make you feel safe and special.  The girls were so quiet as I read this.  It was the perfect fit.  I put a link to it to Amazon if you want really special book to add to your collection.  I highly recommend it.

Pizza this week!

My girls will come home with homemade pizza ready for the oven this week.  They get to roll their own dough and assemble their pizzas!
