Hopefully this title, Book of Mormon Stories Pool Party, does not sound irreverent, because as an Activity Days leader, I felt compelled to come up with a fun end-of-the-summer event that is also uplifting, and after all, who doesn't love a splash in the pool on a hot day in August? My current church calling, or official role that I volunteer for, allows me to plan two activities each month for girls ages 8 to 11, that will encourage them to learn and live the gospel, serve others, and use the talents Heavenly Father has given them, to learn to do many good things. This year's seminary course of study for high school students is The Book of Mormon, and since I am a huge fan of this inspired book of scripture, I came up with this idea to have each girl show up to my house with a written summary of one of her favorite stories from within its many pages, and share it with the rest of the girls, while outside in our swimsuits near our backyard swimming pool! As each girl shares…
Wow!
This one was broken, so I had to eat it. So, so tasty!
One day while shopping at Macy's, I found a really cute Martha Stewart alphabet cookie cutter set, from A to Z, on clearance, marked down to twenty bucks. While I'm a serious baker, I'm not one to bake elaborate sugar cookies, although I'm a big fan. I know someone who is though, so I took this darling little set to her doorstep that night. She liked them too! So as a thank you, Jennie said she would be happy to whip up some fancy cookies for me sometime, so I called her the week of Lindsey's homecoming, and I couldn't have been more delighted with the result. So cute and also incredibly delicious. Thank you, Jennie! I hope you're enjoying the rest of the alphabet cookie cutters too. Woohoo! The W sure looks wonderful.
