Spice Craft

Last weekend while I was working in the kitchen I got the kids to learn some spices and make this wheel.  They really enjoyed it. Afterwards Yusuf helped me make dinner and I got him to guess the spices we were using.  

Helpers

Saturday morning chores.... Peeling mint leaves off their stems.

Candy Mesjids

We made mesjids out of crackers, icing and candies :)

Pumpkin

I bought a pumpkin, we carved it, seeded it, cooked it, made puree out of it and then made cookies! It was fun and yummy.  Click here for the recipe we used.

Taking the seeds out.  Ibby did not want to get his hands dirty.

Ibby deciding he did not want to take part in this messy activity

The cooked pumpkin.  Once it was cooled, I peeled it and put it in my food processor

Worm Jellies

Jelly :)

My Grandma bought us this cute sports themed moulds tray for baking.  To celebrate Yusuf's last day of Winter Session for his sports class, we made jelly with it.  We wanted to send it to the class to share with his friends but it was a little too messy so we just enjoyed it together as a family at home.  The boys were very excited. Yum!

Basketball Cake

Today is the last day of Yusuf's kidsport class. He has been going once a week for about three months now. MashaAllah he has come a long way. The first few classes he had major seperation anxiety (it was his first unparented class), but mashaAllah he really improved each week. In celebration of his achievement we made a cool basketball cake and and also, myself, Baba and Pops will be attending his class to watch them play a hockey game = )

We had a lil science lesson with mixing yellow and red food coloring to make orange icing. Yusuf also broke the eggs and poured the ingredients into the mixing bowl.
