Kids in the Kitchen

Sarah Summer Fun

This week’s theme is “What’s Cooking?”  This means that most of our “crafts” are going to be of the edible variety!  This evening for dinner we made our homemade pizza dough, and I had two eager helpers.  I didn’t have any free hands to take pictures, but the two girls in oversized aprons (Carolyn wore one of mine and Anna wore Carolyn’s) were pretty darn cute!

Yesterday, we planned which of the recipes in Salad People we want to make this week, and managed to get most of the ingredients in our shopping trip this afternoon.  I still have to find frozen cranberry juice concentrate – all that store had was cranberry juice cocktail.

Random Bits of Cuteness

Sarah Anna

It’s been a while since I posted any of the silly things my kids say.  I feel a bit sad, because all of the adorable learning language things that I made note of with Carolyn, have been lost for Anna.  But, all is not quite lost – she still comes out with mispronunciations and silly things now and then.  So, without further ado…

Heard Friday at the pool:

My brother (Dan) and my sister-in-law (Genevra) were over swimming.  All afternoon: “Uncle Dad! Aunt Ge-evra! Look, I’m pedaling around the pool!” (She can definitely say ‘n’ sounds, so I’m not quite sure where Uncle Dad came from.  And Aunt Ge-evra is just adorable!)

Also.  Carolyn has a pair of “gobbles”.  You know, the things that keep water out of your eyes in the pool?

And then this afternoon at the library:

Little Girl: “Hi!  What’s your name?”
Anna: “Anna.”
Little Girl’s Dad: “Alma?  That’s a nice name.”
Anna: “No, Anna. ‘A’, ‘n’, ‘n’, ‘n’, ‘a’!”

Um.  Well, I suppose Annna would sound just about the same as Anna.  Looks a bit odd.  But, it’s still a palindrome!
