Week 10

I found a great art project that combines cut out pictures from magazines and drawings. Some of the kids *really* got into it!

More building~

We played a great game called Monkey Memory~

Puzzles~

Dress ups!

We gobbled up our treat so fast I didn't get a picture, but we made apple cake today! (O.k., the truth is *I* made apple cake while the kids made forts outside.) Here is the recipe:

Creamy Apple Kuchen
3 cups apples, peeled, cores and thinly sliced
1 tbl lemon juice
1 1/4 cups sugar, divided
1 tsp cinnamon
1 cup butter, melted
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup sour cream
1 egg

Pre heat oven to 350 degrees and coat a 9 by 13 inch pan with non stick spray.
In a medium bowl combine the apple slices, lemon juice, 1/4 cup of the sugar, and cinnamon, stirring to mix. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together the melted butter and remaining cup of sugar. Add the 2 beaten eggs and the vanilla extract. Stir in the salt and baking powder, then add the flour. Spread the batter in the pan (it will be thick), then top it with the apple and lemon juice mixture.
Combine the sour cream and remaining egg in a small bowl, then pour the mixture over the apples (it won't fully cover them).
Bake for about 30-35 mins. or until the cake is lightly browned around the edges and the topping is set.
Sprinkle a little cinnamon and sugar on top.
Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator.
