Today I made homemade spaghetti sauce. From real tomatoes. Yes, I was given tons of homegrown tomatoes yesterday and today I blended them, added spices, and cooked it on the stove. And guess what...it actually tasted really good! I was quite thrilled. :) And then, since I was on a roll (no pun intended), I made some whole wheat cinnamon rolls. I put butter, cinnamon, & honey in the middle before rolling them up. When they came out of the oven, I put honey butter (1/4 cup honey, 1/4 cup softened REAL butter) over the top. It was SO YUMMY!!! We're trying to use more natural ingredients like real tomatoes instead of Ragu and whole wheat flour & honey instead of only white flour & sugar. We were pleasantly surprised at how good everything tasted!
Tomorrow is Columbus Day, so Tyler gets the day off. We have big plans to clean/organize the garage, plant some iris & rose bushes in our flower garden, and go grocery shopping! Should be a fun day and I'm so happy to be with my husband again. We have been apart so much this past year, it's nice to be together. :)
Lately, Anna has been reluctant to pray. We were worried about her not wanting to pray and tried to make it a positive experience and not one involving discipline. Today when Anna was in primary, she got to be the "leader" in her class and so she said the closing prayer and then promptly received a sticker. She was so excited about it! And to our joy, when Tyler asked her to say our family prayer this evening, she did without any hesitation!!! Hooray! Now I understand how invaluable primary is for our children. Sometimes other people can better teach our children things, such as prayer in our case.
