Bread & Books.

It was his first time making bread with the breadmaker. Our big boy weighed and measured the ingredients for our week's bread. 

Tasting it later, the husband and i couldn't figure out why it was sour! That is, until the husband asked if he'd used citric acid instead of salt. Our big boy nodded. Mystery solved! He'd mixed up the containers and added 1.25 tsp of citric acid. 0.25tsp is good to make soft bread, and this was heaps more than usual. He was upset but we are grateful he made it and we will eat it this week. 

This is the book I'm currently reading to the children. They're looking to watching the movie by the same name when we're done.

The littlies and I are currently working our way through this one. We read a couple of chapters before bed, just the three of us.

The bigs are at different stages in the Harry Potter series. I'm grateful that the children have picked up reading and that we've got access to more wholesome titles. Usually, this means older stories. One instance in which old is truly gold.
