One night last week-ish, I decided to let the kids make dinner. Yup...you read that right....the kids made their own dinner. Years ago in college we went on a retreat where we made these foil dinners over the fire. So I decided to re-create that with the kids one night for something different. I made the ground beef into balls; cut up some onions, carrots and potatoes; and set out all different kinds of seasonings. I gave each kid a piece of foil and let them put all their stuff on their foil and then season it! I kinda forgot to get some pictures of them actually making their dinner...I guess the combination of a 7, 5, and 4 year old with raw ground beef made me a little cautious. But here's a few right after...
They said it was the best dinner they've ever eaten....they're kinda conceited if you ask me ;). The ground meat was actually deer meat and on top of that it cooked too long so it was actually not even close to the best meal we've ever made. It's amazing what having kids help does to their overall dining experience.
I also thought I'd randomly share our breakfast experience the other day. We dropped Jason off at work one morning and ran some errands after that. We didn't have much at home to eat for breakfast, and I had to run by Kroger anyway, so we decided to grab some breakfast in there...
The minute we started to step out from under the awning it started pouring rain. I mean pouring. I can handle some rain, but I in no way, was about to attempt to get 4 kids in the car in that. So we plopped ourselves down right in front of Kroger and enjoyed our breakfast while waiting for the rain to let up. Perfection. :)
(side note: no, I did not feed my 8 month old baby a hard, crunchy cereal bar). :)
The kids enjoyed it and it saved us from the rain! So there we go! Who says you can't have fun running errands and making dinner with 4 kids? :)
