Waffle Brownies

Last Monday for FHE treat I made these!

They were pretty cool. I saw it one the Rachael Ray web site and thought that I would try it. You basically use a box brownie mix and prepare as normal except you omit the water. Now her site says to keep the brownie in the waffle iron for 10 minutes but mine burnt if I didn't take them out when my waffle iron light went off.

Don't forget to grease your waffle iron pretty well and taking them out can be tricky because they are soft until they cool for a min. But all I did was flipped the waffle iron over and they fell onto the plate. Then I topped it with A scoop of Ice cream and choc. syrup. Yummy!

A Year of FHE

Done!

I just recently participated in a FHE Group. It was a lot of work but will be well worth it. There were 7 of us so we just divided up the year, made a calendar of topics and went to work.

We each made 7 FHE lessons. They all had to have a story, coloring page, activity and needed to be printed on card stock, colored and laminated. We set a deadline and tried to stick to it as much as we could. It's hard when you are working with so many different people though. But I have gotten almost all of mine from everyone and all mine are finished and given out. Now I can work on the list of unfinished/new crafts.

I am glad that I participated in the group and I am glad that it worked out. Now I have a year of lessons all prepared, I would like to get one more though, but this time I think that I will be doing this.... Club FHE. Then I can rotate lessons and they (the kids) will never know. I heard about this group from a friend and just read the web site and now I am in love. I will be ordering the year kit all at once although I do like how if you do it every month they send them with that box that is labeled and everything. Would be much more organized. I guess I will have to make those myself.... Add it to the list!

Update: FHE Boards

Well here it is. I finished it yesterday. I Love It. So far we have had 2 consecutive FHE's. So now hopefully this will help us to get many more Family Home Evenings under our belt. You can't really see the sign well in this pic so I've posted a close up.

FHE Boards

Here is a picture of what it looks like after Thursday. I still need to get the knobs and make the little names that will hang from them.

I will update this post when I get it all finished.

Well I finally made one!. Its been on my list of crafts to do for a while now. I finally made Big J cut out the boards for me. I had him cut out 4 boards 2 for Kathy, 1 for Selena and 1 for me. So all day Thursday we painted and cut out the lettering on the Cricut. It took a little while to figure out the size but once we got it down it went pretty fast.

I love that I have 2 friends that have a Cricut. They even have different sizes. It makes it nice when we get together and do fun things like this.

We had 10 kids here for most of the day and it wasn't bad at all. They had so many friends to play with that they didn't bother us much until they were hungry.

Here is a picture of Selena putting her letters on.
Don't mind the mess.... its organized chaos.
