Fall 2012

We made grape jelly and mixed berry jam in September.

We did "Baking with Pumpkin" in October.  We baked pumpkin muffins and also learned a bit about spices.  We also did pumpkin pasties, which is a hand held pie.

November we made a "Master Baking Mix" and bagged it up for our church food pantry to give out with a list of recipes.

December we had our Christmas Party.  We made easy toffee,  pictionary style games, and gift exchange.

Playing Catch Up

We had our award presentation at the annual Ladies Tea.

Over the summer we attempted to play volleyball, but we all were really bad. We did learn the basics of how to play, bumping and serving.We started a unit on Kindness also during the summer.

We had a slumber party at the beginning of September.

This fall we are continuing Kindness, by going through Mean Girls, by Hayley DiMarco

We started Personal Journal. We spent that meeting decorating our journals.

In October and November we made deviled eggs, and jello salads. The girls had to bring something to the church Thanksgiving Potluck.

Tonight we are going to make gifts in a jar. They can either make Bath Salts, Brownie mix, or both.

December we will meet just one time for our Christmas party. Instead of a gift exchange each girls is asked to bring 1 1/5 yards of fleece. We will be making fleece blankets as a mission project.

Making Biscuits

We meet twice a month from 6:30-8:00.

We have a brief announcement time, & I assign work groups. Our girls range in age from 8-14. We usually have 3-4 groups of 2-3 girls. We do a baking first then the othermoms watch the oven for us while we have our Missionary lapbook lesson. After that the goodies are done baking and that is the snack, with leftovers to take home.


I've encouraged the girls to pick a skill at home to work on, and then bring the project to a meeting to share about it, similar to 4H demonstrations. This builds self confidence in Public Speaking as well, hhhmmmm, I'll have to see what the requirements are for Public Speaking. So far only my daughters and the pastor's daughter are doing any work at home.
We are reading the NT, and Anna is memorizing 1Cor 13. So we don't have anything to show and tell about.
