Home Ec at Home

Thursday night no one was thrilled about what I wanted to make for dinner. When I told them that if they didn't like what I was making they could make dinner themselves, Bella took me up on it. On the menu that night: Peas, Spaghettios, and baked beans. Sounds different, but they all ate it.

Microwaves: a 6 year old cook's best friend.

Peas

Ahhh, Spaghettios.

Kassy has been learning to use the sewing machine and set to work on Trista's birthday present. This was her first solo sewing project on the machine and she did great. She used scraps from cut-off jeans and made an adorable denim purse. I tried to help her by giving her a few ideas of what to do, but she simply gave me a blank stare while I talked and then informed me that she already knew what she was going to do. I backed off and she did a great job on her own. She just finished it, so I'll share pictures in a later post.
