Bagel Making Day!

I had promised myself that this weekend would contain some fun stuff for the boy and me because we have just been crazy busy lately. I've been putting off trying Nic and V's bagel making extravaganza because I knew my son would like it, so that's what we did today.

The flour prevented any picture taking of the kneading, but trust me, my son was really into it. He did about 1/2 of the required 10 minutes of kneading. He also made the little balls of dough for rising.

Once it was time to roll things out, he was a little worried about his not working so he handed it over to me and did all the arranging. After a long long long (is time yet? is time yet?) 40 minutes, we were ready to boil the bagels.


The boy did the sesame dipping and we were ready to bake.













And here we are...all done. They tasted great!

Hi! I'm not dead (though the illness that went through our office like wildfire made many people wonder about survival), but I have been busy. My family came a visit--love you Mom and Dad. We spent a weekend hanging out in Vail (Yay, gondola. Yay skiing. Yay beautiful mountains) having a great time with S's other Grandparents as well. So, I haven't been around to blog about the craziness that life has been. We've been working hard. We've been playing hard. Now we are planning to have a little break to enjoy the little adventures before we try for the bigger ones again in March/April.
