Pie Day

I meant to post a new blog on pie day but I ended up eating pie all day :). March 14 or 3.14! As you can see, Jenna and Mommy had a good time making a french silk pie. Now most french silk pies contain raw eggs, but we used pasturized egg beaters rather than the raw eggs. The effect was a delicious, smooth chocolate pie!

Currently I'm reading a new series by David Eddings called the Belgariad. Now that I've finished Stephen King's Dark Tower series, my need for fantasy has not been quenched. This series is excellent and much like Wheel of Time (another of my favorites). The good thing about this series is that it is 1/4 as long so I've burned through 3 1/2 books in about a week. I'm sure glad I didn't give up reading for pleasure for lent!

Giving up candy was easy at the beginning. Now the candy is calling me, tempting me. We have tons of candy in the house from Valentine's day and because I give candy to my students. However I have been very good and not touched any candy. It will make my Easter basket all the more delightful! Lent, while being a time of sacrifice is also a time of prayerful consideration. As I think about how I fill my days, I notice that much of my time is not on God's agenda. So I was trying to think of something I could do, with Jenna, to serve God. I thought (if I knew how to sew!) about making blankets for the needy in our community or for cooking meals for the needy and for new moms. I'm still mulling this idea over. Rather than reading "One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish" all day to Jenna, I should probably be doing something useful with my time. It is also a good thing to model to my little one.

I've started working in the nursery at church too. Every Saturday I work in the 20-24month room. Jenna has moved up to the big girl room where they do crafts and Bible stories. I just play with the kids in my room. It has been a fun experience!

Got 88 today on Quiddler. You know you read too much Dr. Seuss when you try to use Dr. Seuss words in Quiddler!! I tried to use gox. Not a word!
