My “Not So Little Anymore” Iron Chef

Kayleen has really taken to cooking lately.  With it being Spring Break, she’s really going to town.

 

She cooked this meal all by herself.  I was instructed to stay in my office.  The result was very good!

 

Today is the second day of our week “Spring Break” from school.  Kayleen is cooking up a storm. 

Smoothies for a round of Iron Chef…

 

Our expert food critic panel…

 

The review…

 

The pooch who is enjoying every bit of the excitement…

 

Dessert…

 

Muffins

Chocolate Chip Cookies, with Andes bits of peppermint candy instead of chocolate chips. 

A little funny for ya…  Kayleen came to tell me her cookies “failed” (thanks internet generation).  She said they had been in the oven for 30 min.  Oh the joys of a double oven.  She heated the bottom oven, but put the cookies in the top oven. 

 

After putting the cookies in the heated oven…

 

Oh, and if you are wondering why she has a gigantic shirt on…she got it at last summer’s day camp.  It was only $3 and there were no other sizes.  I think it’s an adult 3x. 

 

Now to work off those extra pounds.  The kids found a belly dancing workout video On Demand.  Here is how I found them (of course Ethan wanted nothing to do with dressing like this). 

 

And the pup is still a pup.  Here’s how he “owns” his toys.  The “Death Roll” over his hair brush.

 

Still love the playful “puppy” play stance…

 

Trying to teach him how to “dance”…all he wants is to chew on his brush.

 

He likes to rest his head on my leg when I’m on the computer. 

 

Day 3 of Spring Break….a trip to Crystal Mountain to ski the steeps.  That sounds cool, but I probably won’t be skiing any steeps.  ha!  The kids and I have never been there.  Can’t wait for a new ski experience.  Can’t wait to blog about our adventure!
