I always get my girls help me cook and they love it. Kimber is still learning but still enjoys being a part of the action. Yesterday I let her work on the cucumber with a butter knife.
I usually leave the salad making up to Addie. She loves to cut things so it's the perfect job for her.
Even though my tomatoes might get man-handled
and my cucumbers pieces might all be a different size, 
I never say a word. I just tell her that it's the yummiest salad I have ever seen.
That only lasted a few jabs before I confiscated the knife and replaced it with a spoon and a Jell-o.

(Please pardon the look on her face. Kinda creepy.)

i can't wait to play in the kitchen with liahona and levu. your girls are so cute!
oh, and hallelujah!
i am so glad you put up a new post so those awful pictures of us get bumped down...
You are the nicest mom ever! I'm always kicking my girls out of the kitchen. Can I take lessons? How much do you charge?
Yea for you Kobie! I love that she asked if it was cute!
By the way, check your e mail, I finally got the information on the undelete program if you still need it.
Your patience astounds me. I always think that it'll be fun to cook together and then 1/2 through I want to scream. Today I let Addison brown all the ground beef, but that's only because Olivia was busy coloring (away from the kitchen)! This post makes me want to TRY harder to patient. Thanks.
I love that you let your girls "help." Some of my favorite childhood memories are ones spent with my Mother as I "helped" her. As I got older I realized I more than likely created more work for her, but I always loved how important she made me feel and how she made my contributions seem significant. =)
