I am always looking for ways for the boys to become more responsible around the house. They are already in charge of the dishes during the weekend and a few other chores around the house. Last week I added a new thing and they are very excited about it. They are sharing the cooking with me. Each week they are to pick out a recipe from a kid's cookbook and plan a time during the week to cook it. They are both really excited about this new "chore" and they are having fun with it.
Last night Liam made us all French toast. It is almost too much work for me right now, but I figure in the long run it will pay off. I taught him how to crack an egg and he did the rest ( I picked out the shells, although he did pretty good for the first time). He did the dipping of the bread and the flipping of the toast (he really liked the flipping, doing each one about 5 times instead of just 2). Everyone enjoyed his dinner and he was very proud. He was sad because he had planned on making about 14 slices of toast and we did the math with the eggs and everything, but somehow it only made like 9 slices (I'm thinking too long in the dipping process). Overall, he did a great job and we were all proud.
Lance has chosen to make pizza for his meal tomorrow night. He will use pre-made refrigerated dough and pizza sauce though.

my kids can make scrambled eggs so next visit let's have the kids make us brunch!
I think that it's a great idea to get the boys involved in the cooking. Especially since they're enjoying it and it gives them a little more responsibility. Enjoy the pizza! Yummm!
oooh, i think that idea is so going to pay off someday :-)
