This week the kids have had a blast helping me out with some kitchen tasks. Harbin was at practice with Scott one day and Ella was napping so my older girls helped to make instant oatmeal packets. I drew out pictures of how many scoops of oats, cinnamon and brown sugar went into each bag and they were able to pretty much package them all up without help. There was a little bit of mess at the end, but it was worth it. They were able to do 50 instant oatmeal packets while I fixed dinner!! It's kind of like making dinner and 3 weeks worth of breakfast at the same time!
One morning we also attempted a new idea to put pancake mix in an old ketchup bottle and make "Pancake Pictures". They had a blast creating their own ideas and making their own pancakes. This has been a huge hit in our house and it was so simple!
We also made Pumpkin Muffins with canned pumpkin, chocolate cake mix and chocolate chips, but I failed to take pictures of this process. It wasn't as "kid-friendly" since it became difficult to stir after a short bit.
Enjoy the pics of Mommy's Little Helpers!
The mom.
Hmmm... what to say... well there's six of us. Scott is the dad- he used to be in the army, but then started teaching high school chemistry, and now got called back to the army. I'm the mom- Kimberly- I attempt to hold down the happenings at home while attempting to continue a career in real estate. Harbin is our oldest- he's 7. Catherine is our daughter who's 5, Lydia is almost 4 and Ella is almost 2. We live just outside of Atlanta, GA and attend Shadowbrook Baptist Church.
As you can tell we are big Peyton Manning fans. We also love VOLS Tennessee Football!!!
We homeschool and love the flexibility to wake up late and hang out in our PJ's (amongst other weird homeschooling things we do).
For the Great-Grandma's (and those who don't know how to print pictures from here)
UPDATE: how to save pics from slideshow.
1. Click on the picture, this will bring up the slideshow site.
2. Stop the show from cycling through the pics.
3. Right click on the pic and scroll down to print.
Please let me know if this does not work for you- thanks!
Here's how you can save and print pictures from this site.
1. Right click (use that button you never use on your mouse) on the picture you want.
2. On the menu, select "save picture as". This will allow you to save the picture somewhere on your computer.
3. At the top of the box that pops up, it should say "Save in:". The easiest is to save on your desktop, so change the bar to say desktop.
4. Click save. You should now be able to find the picture file on your desktop and open it. You can print it from there.
Hopefully this makes sense!!! If for some reason the picture prints poorly, just email me and I will send you whatever pic you want!
