Learning is important

Those that know me know that I love to cook, I have done my best teaching all my kiddos how to cook. Some have completely lost everything that I have taught them or don’t care to learn, some have done great! When my son picked his electives at school and one was culinary my heart jumped with joy that one of my kiddos also enjoyed my passion. Boy was I wrong!! He said he just took the class so he didn’t have to live off of ramen noodles when he moves out.... and I am thinking boy I have you help me in the kitchen quite frequently... but maybe I’m not the best teacher 🤷🏻‍♀️ I don’t know! Kinda hurt my heart but I try not to take it too personal. 

Well Sunday I was making some cupcakes and hunter was sitting at the table chatting away with me and I asked him if he wanted to help and he was so happy to help, taught him how to zest lemons, juice lemons and how to make cupcakes. I love teachable moments like that. 

While scrolling through a health magazine the other day, not sure how or why it comes in the mail, I can guarantee I did not order it. Payton and I were looking through the recipes it went mostly like this..... ehh.... umm gross.... who even eats this stuff..... what the.... oh I bet zep would like that ( our boxer). We tore the page out cause she said she wanted to make them for him and threw the magazine away because we were definitely not looking at it again lol. Payton asked last night at dinner if we could get the ingredients so she could make them. I looked over the recipe and all we needed was wheat flour and crunchy peanut butter so off to the grocery store me and Chad went. Got home and she got to baking. Now here it the part where I should have observed her.... she is my messy child and I know everyone is different buuuutttttt how she got flour from one side of the kitchen to the other, on her elbow, eyebrow, and pans she wasn’t even using is beside me. I saw the mess... told her to get it cleaned up and went to bed. Got up a little later looked at the kitchen and went to wake her butt up. She proceeds to try to pretend she is asleep to keep from cleaning the kitchen. This child will be the death of me. She piles all the dirty dishes in the sinks and put the dough she hasn’t baked into a container and puts it in the fridge.... off to bed she goes. At this point I’m like ugh I don’t even care I’m going to bed. 

This morning we had orthodontic appointments so I knew she would have some time in the morning to get things done.... and she thought she would get to sleep in hahaha (evil mom laugh)
