Cooking Class.....

So, we have been busy doing normal everyday kind of things and swimming a TON! Once we found out Dance Camp was cancelled due to low enrollment I went searching for something else fun for Savannah to do. We found Lil Chefs.....cooking for 3-5 year olds! This was our first class and we made homemade pretzels! YUMMY!!! All dressed and ready to cook.
Everyone got their own bowl and added ingredients to it to make a dough. We had a small accident towards the end of the line and will probably never put our bowl on the edge of the counter again but one of the teachers took Savannah to the back of the line and helped her start again while I wiped it up. I don't think anyone even really knew what happened and that was GREAT as far as I was concerened!


Rolling her dough out into a snake shape.

We went for a heart shape instead of the traditional pretzel shape.....always girly you know!

While the food is cooking the teacher will read them a couple of stories to help with being bored and to prevent the running around crazy time that they could go into if left alone. Some parents stay and some parents leave. Some of the parents that stay are nice and helpful and then as always you have a few that need to control their kids and not be their friends!!!
Once we had so much fun, I signed us up for the 6 session class. It is every other week or so...I think it depends on when they feel like having it. The next class we went to was strawberry muffins and I did not bring the camera. They were pretty warm so we took them with us and I don't think I was on the freeway yet when Savannah said....mummmm tasty muffins Mommy! I said did you still save one for Daddy...yes, I have one left. I decided to do some shopping and when I got off the freeway she asked for my hand-which means reach back so I can give you something.....yep, the other muffin paper and she said Sorry Daddy none for you this time!
I picked up the recipe for the muffins as we walked out but did not look at it until we got home....it was the recipe to make 2 mini muffins!!!! No way am I dragging out all the stuff to make 2 muffins....gotta do some math and figure out how to make a BIG batch for my family!
