Cookin' With Mom

I have started a new thing with the kids. It has been really fun. You can tell by the pictures we have been doing it for a while -our kitchen is now redone. I let them be in charge one night a week. Each child takes a turn to pick what we are having for dinner and then gets to help make it. I don't let them pick something easy because I want them to learn some cooking skills. I need to be able to put them to work when they're older and cheese crisps and hot dogs are not going to cut it. The little girls have just been helping make desserts. They don't need to be exposed to a burner, that would be disastrous!

It has been fun talking and cooking with them. Plus, they are learning a life long skill.

cooking with Ryan. He was "too big" for the cute apron and hat!

Brownies with Kate and Becca.

Grace in her cute hat! Ready to help.

I would say out of all the kids, Aaron was the most excited. He loves doing new things and special time with mom. Here's too many more and a day I can send them into the kitchen and cook a meal all by themselves!
