Do you ever just wake up and think, "I want to bake a big batch of cookies so I can help send soccer balls to kids in Sudan?"Well, we did. Our church had a cookie sale to raise money. There's a big school over there that we helped to build. About 1200 students with only about 12 teachers. (How's that for a classroom ratio?)
Last summer, the kids at our church helped
raise money to buy the children at the school much needed sandals for their feet, since all of them walk to the school, often many miles from home.Our good friend, Mr. Roger, with inspiration from his grandson, decided those kids needed something to play with. The answer: soccer balls! Since our church is really good at baking, M
r. Roger asked us all to make cookies.So we donned our Pirates-of-the-Caribbean-sponsored aprons from Home Depot and went to work!
Mommy's world-famous Cookie Monster cookie dough got turned into letter cookies! Althea is really into letters nowadays. Her favorite, for some reason, is the letter "A."
Daddy turned another batch of the dough into secret treasure cookies. We would show you pictures of the process, but it's a secret.
In the end, our church raised over $1100. That's a lot of soccer balls. Yeah God!
