Cookin'

Every now and then, Bo will spend a lot of time in the play kitchen and do some serious cookin'!

I wonder if the guys cooking at restaurants are in their undies and have tattoos??

Rain Day

"School" was cancelled on Tuesday and Wednesday because of all the rain we got over the weekend and early in the week. So, we had some fun days at home! Tuesday morning, we baked a yummy treat together....these Deep Dish Oatmeal Chocolate Cookie Bars.

As you can see, they were both pleased. I think Bo could be on a commercial with this face!

Fortunately, it was a pretty warm day on Tuesday, so we hit the puddles with a splash! I did decide to make them some trash bag covers to keep their clothes from getting completely soaked. 

I love this action shot of Arabelle!

Arabelle also had the idea to start a one girl band and used her bed as the stage. She had a really serious band face going on at the beginning!

Bo got in on the action too:

We finished our fun days today with a trip to the library and a park picnic! 

Think we've had a fun week??

Baking

Tuesday morning, we played outside a bit, then decided to make a blueberry cake! I had TWO good helpers in the kitchen. I figured it'd be easier on me and more fun for them to give them their own bowls and let them do their own cooking.

They each started with a bowl of flour and I added random things from the cabinets as I went along. Arabelle's favorite ingredient was the sprinkles. :) Bo kept tasting his, then making an ugly face, but tasting it again.

Bo's creation

Arabelle was proud of hers, so much so that she thought we should pour it on top of the cake and cook it!

Yummmm, the read deal!

Now I just need to get my helpers to clean up the kitchen!

Lazy Saturday

Yesterday was a pretty lazy day for us. As nice as it is to have places to go, people to see, and things to do on the weekends, a weekend at home is welcomed! It's Arabelle's turn to take snacks to school tomorrow, so we baked some sugar cookies. Well, I baked and Arabelle ate the dough. :) We also had a sprinkle spill, which Arabelle gladly helped clean up. 

Checking on the cookies

Oops! Spilled the sprinkles

"Cheese!"

Yes, that is a potty chair in the kitchen. We use it as a step stool now. :)
