We slept in a bit this morning and walked down the street to the bread shop to pick out a breakfast treat. I remember doing this 25 years ago - - when mom and papi would drive from our little rural pueblo into the big city, and we were allowed the treat of our choice.
I don't think that the bread shops have changed a bit since then- - the same breads and cakes stacked on top of square trays; the same metal thongs hanging up next to the round platters; the same long lines of customers with their trays piled high with bread treats to take home to their own families.
This time around, though, I'm not the child choosing;
I'm the mama facilitating the choosing.
That's kind of strange,
and nice.
I have been praying that the kids would be both courageous and excited in your new home. Perhaps the sweet bread will help with the excitement!
ReplyDeletemmmm...looks YUMMY...what's your favorite?
ReplyDeleteRachel: the kids have been sooo great!
ReplyDeleteCorey: my favorite is the concha - - it's a mexican classic - - a fluffy white roll with a flour/sugar mixture sprinkled on top. (in the bottom picture they are the ones at the far end)
Rachel and I are wondering what the children chose? And we were talking about our favorites, the flakey ones. . .can't remember the name!
ReplyDeleteSelma chose the flat one with colorful sprinkles (of course), Josu chose a roll with some cinnamon and sugar (I had never seen it - - not bad) and Malachai (in memory of Spain) chose a croissant. I couldn't find the flaky one that mom used to get (I did look for it - - since now I'm the mom and I figured that it was my turn)
ReplyDeleteand I love that Selma is getting good use out of Julia's cute tops..sweet.
