Easter cookies

It started out with me wanting some Leta's Tea Cakes (one of John's family recipes).  I had been busy and let the ingredients sit on the counter for a day and a half.  So, John decided to be sweet and make the cookies for me, which was probably for the best because I was struggling with the Crisco.  Sometimes it's better not to know what goes into a recipe.

Zachary happened to catch his dad's culinary activities, and he decided to join in on the fun.  So we busted out the best Easter cookie cutters we could find...fish, star, angel, and baby chicks (or maybe they are ducks, but whatever).  We all enjoyed a little dough during the preparations, and followed up with the cookies just 10 minutes later.  Yum!

The Clear Lake Christian Band went to competition in the spring, and received superior marks for the piece they performed.  As for site reading, I'm not sure, but I know it wasn't a superior rating.  They are a young band, so we are excited for their accomplishments.  And not to mention that Mr. Hernandez is able to produce nice sounding music with limited players.

The performance

Can you imagine for four girls and all those boys!

Beta Club at the Food Bank

We headed back to the Houston Food Bank last Friday with the Junior Beta Club.  This students separated donated boxes of food into smaller divisions.  With the help of about 10 other adults,we sorted 6400 pounds of food which would have made 5,333 meals. I'm not sure how accurate that is, but it sounds really cool!

Was so proud of Zachary.  He got right in there and helped very well.
