Cooking With Littles

As most of you know I have lots of littles around here.  But I count the 8 year old and 6 year old as olders (they can do more and be counted on a little more) and I have a 2 year old and a newborn (definitely the littles!), with a 4 year old smack in the middle – she vacillates between being counted as an older and a little – depending on the task (and the day)!

On this particular day I was craving homecooked food (it’s been a long pregnancy of lots of frozen food, ugh).  So I started in on my grandmother’s cornbread dressing and sweet potato casserole.  Not exactly quick and easy dishes.  I try to keep little hands from destroying the rest of the house plus let them “help” – also not easy!  This is how I sometimes manage it.  I was up to my elbows in mixing bowls and I looked around and realized how ridiculous my kitchen looked.  I, of course, snapped a picture.

Too funny to me!

Too funny to me!

And if you’re wondering what I did with the older two while I was doing all this…  well, I relied on one of my favorite babysitters, of course!

Gotta love those Lego Star Wars!

    This post makes me want to go cook! A good thing, since it’s about that time anyway. And I think we have the exact same cook-stove.
