Cookin with Sydney Rose

I decided today that Sydney was going to help me make lunch. I am getting tired of making food for the kids and they dont eat it! Instead they would rather have cheez its and fishes. So maybe if Syd made the food with me she would be more excited to eat it. That was the plan at least.

So we cut up the chicken stuck in the oven, put water in the pot and boiled it, added pasta and while all that was cooking Syd got to work grating the cheese. And I didnt just have her watch me. All of that stuff I had her do. Well except cutting the chicken.

I showed her when the pasta was done and the size of the pasta changed.

And here is the final product. Chicken over bow tie pasta with tomato and basil sauce... green beans and the kids favorite... cheese. Now did it work? Did the kids eat the food? They didnt like the sauce so they wouldnt eat the chicken. They didnt eat the green beans but they loved the pasta with cheese. While it didnt work so much getting them to eat there food, it was still fun. Sydney like watching for the water to boil, and learning what straining the pasta means. So all in all it was a great learning experience for her.

Blake and Clothes

So Blake has been driving me crazy! Why wont either of my kids just let me dress them and not have an opinion on what they where? I would have thought Blake being a boy that he would care less and just let me put whatever clothes on him. NOOOOO. Not only will he not wear what I tell him to wear but once he finds something he likes he wants to where it everyday. Like that vest. I finally got it off of him and hid it. He also has these car socks that are different colors. He will wear different colors like one red and one blue. Also he layers his socks. He will wear 3 pairs at one time!  He's so crazy right now.
