Bread and Such

 One of the things I have been having Tristan do for homeschool is baking and cooking.  When I asked him things that he wanted to learn and that would interest him he told me culinary arts!  Baking and cooking can teach SO much and it's fun doing it!  He learns all about adding and subtracting fractions, what herbs come from where and what a person would typically use them in, how yeast works (he loved watching this process!), and a ton more.  So one day last week we made Italian Herb Bread.  We made two loaves.  He did all of it.  the whole process was fun and we will be doing it more and more and more!  The bread was a HUGE hit! Everyone loved it and ate both loaves in two days!  They even snacked on it!  Awesome! 

 What's great about this picture is that Asher is so dang cute....and what the crap is Liam looking at?!?!!?  Did he receive some divine inspiration amidst our noisy supper table?!!? LOL!  Anyway, I really enjoy having sit down suppers with my family.  We do it every night. 


Hey look, Cullen is eating!! LOL!  He's like Liam in the fact that his eating is very limited.  He likes what he likes and that's about it.  And what he likes is yogurt.  Yep, just yogurt.  Some other things he likes to snack on are raisins, pringles stix, and cereal.  This night he ate tilapia!!  woot! woot!  Everyone LOVES fish at our house!
