Another Week of Flowers!

This week, we kept it pretty simple. 

I made some delicious french toast (with a sweet potato puree.) So easy! Mix two eggs, some sweet potato, and cinnamon and let the bread soak for a few seconds and cook. 


To get the flower:

• Cut out the flower on the Cricut, Silhouette, or any paper cutter. If you do not have a paper cutter, you can find any image on the computer. Cut out the image and use the actual paper as your template, not the cut out image.  

• Place paper over your french toast and gently shake powdered sugar over your template. I don't have one of those nifty shakers, however, I do have a very small strainer which worked perfectly!

• Serve and enjoy!

 

Our after dinner activity consisted of making a flower on our family wall describing what we love about being outside. It was quick and easy which is sometimes needed for two kids who really need to go to bed!


To make:

• Fold a piece of paper in half. Cut about 1/4 in from the non-folded edge and cut up gradually going in to a point. This is your template.

• Choose colors and cut away following the template. 

• Try many times to cut a circle for the middle of the flower. I could have used my Cricut, but I had already put it away and I was a bit lazy to get it out. 

• Let the kids color the petals.

• Let everyone identify what they like about being outside. 

• Hang away with your older son's help! (This was also a patience lesson for the mom as she realized she needs to help her son listen to directions.)
