Amelia Bedelia

This has been one of our favorite books to read in the last few weeks. Amelia Bedelia goes to work for Mr. and Mrs. Rogers and is left all alone with a list of things to do. The list tells her to do things like, draw the drapes, dust the furniture, put out the lights. Amelia Bedelia takes everything at face value and literally draws the drapes on paper, pours dusting powder all over the furniture, and hangs all the lights outside. When Mr. and Mrs. Rogers come home and realize what Amelia Bedelia has done they are very upset. But before Mrs. Rogers tells her she is fired Mr. Rogers sticks a piece of Lemon Meringue pie into her mouth. It was so good that Mr. and Mrs. Rogers decided Amelia Bedelia could stay as long as she made Lemon Meringue pie.

So..Addy and I decided to make our own Lemon Meringue pie. An added bonus is that Grandpa Bean loves Lemon Meringue pie and he came up for the weekend. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of us making the pie and the finished pie but here is a picture of a slice. It turned out pretty good. We also made an apple pie for Daddy because Adeline thinks James loves them. He actually doesn't like pie at all but she wouldn't listen to me. "YES HE DOES LIKE APPLE PIE!" is what she would say. We had two yummy homemade pies for the weekend. I really enjoy baking and cooking with Adeline she was all about the cookbook reading off all of the ingredients.

Thanks Amelia Bedelia!
