I have just proven myself completely and totally and absolutely right about the whole thing. (Just in case we had been wondering about that.)

We started [...]

Tomorrow, Justus and Asa are performing in a musical…more on that later!!
Each family involved with the musical is supposed to take refreshments…so of course, I put my boys on the job!
I wrote down a chocolate chip cookie recipe for them…handed it over, and asked them to double it.
I stood in the kitchen with them, listening to Asa [...]

Here are a few highlights of the kids in the kitchen on Tuesday!
Elias and Justus made scrambled eggs completely by themselves. They made a great team!
You should have heard Justus (the professional egg scrambler) explaining to Elias the way to scramble eggs… It was SO cute!
For lunch, the boys made Shepherd’s Pie. Justus and Asa peeled [...]

This week…my kids are going to be doing most of the work in the kitchen (while I lie out back in a hammock sipping lemonade…).
(Oh, that is so funny…)
They are so excited to be put in charge this week! And they are learning so much! Each day this week I’ll be sharing the things I’m [...]
