I have been making an effort to teach the girls some bare bones domestic skills lately. They are 6 and 9, and well old enough to help with some of this stuff! The problem is...they LOVE it! They jump up and race each other to the laundry room when I announce it is time for "laundry lessons". They wax poetic about learning to do laundry to the pediatrician when asked about home schooling. (That's actually not so funny- could they not mention the ACADEMIC things we do??!!!) And they love, love, love to make meals.
Gryphon can make a few basic things- rice, frozen pizza, salads. So they opened up a restaurant (Restarante de Alaska) and made aprons out of towels. They rolled the napkins into fancy shapes, and laid out every salad dressing we own. They had a *blast*.
Now, of course, they want to cook every night, but...I am getting tired of rice and frozen pizza! I guess its time to teach them how to make something else!

Super Helpers - LOVE that!! You *must* enjoy it now, do you not remember us as teenagers??
Cole loves to cook as well, but he hasn't gotten the laundry bug just yet. I'll have to spice that up a bit..... maybe decopage my washer in camo.
This is one of my favorite parts of homeschooling. Not only does Rachel get valuable skills, I get breakfast!! She is big into making pancakes!
Rachel wants to "come over" and play restaurant with the girls. Why, why, why can't we have teleport technology!
