Another quick “1440″ post for you. It’s officially summer time, which means it’s time for family picnics in the backyard. I asked my 3 year old to help me pack our lunch bag and I laughed so hard when I unzipped the lid and saw what was inside. Just had to share this with you.
The lunch kit contents were:
- Hot Chocolate Mix
- Two tiny tea cups with saucers
- A can of soup
- A can of Fresca soda
- Salt & Pepper shakers
Apparently we are going to use the garden hose water to make our hot chocolate (which would be cold but could potentially be warmed by the sun), and while we wait for our cold chocolate to warm up we will sip on the Fresca soda. We will use a tool from the garage to open up the can of soup and since we didn’t pack bowls to serve our soup, we will sip it out of the can, but before we do we definitely will need to add salt and pepper.
Wow, how intersting.
Just so you know, we actually ended up eating the hamburgers my husband had already started on the bbq (thank goodness).
It was such a sweet moment I had to pull out my camera. My daughter is really into making recipes right now. She helps herself to the bowls, measuring cups, and anything she can reach in the pantry. She has a great imagination and mixes up the oddest things, and then stores them in our fridge. Yesterday I opened the fridge and found 5 little bowls full of ripped up pieces of bread with honey and strawberry milk mixed in. I don’t remember having this much freedom in my mom’s kitchen when I was 3 years old….my husband and I were talking and decided either we are the really cool easy-going parents or we are just really crazy for creating more work for ourselves with all the clean up afterwards…..
Oh well, I think it’s great for her imagination and maybe it will turn her in to a great chef one day and then she can do all the cooking for us.
Bon Appetit!
