Since getting back from our two week trip (more on that in a later post) dinners have been less then stellar. We've been very busy to say the least and Mike hasn't actually been home for dinner so I haven't really made much of a dinner. One night Anna Elise and Calvin decided to take things into their own hands! I stepped out the back door to talk to Mike on the phone and when I stepped back in they had made a salad. I decided to let them make whatever else they wanted and do dinner on their own. (I made my own dinner later). They don't know how to make very many things - so they decided on toast with peanut butter and jam. The toaster is one thing they are allowed to use. They had a great time and although toast doesn't really 'go' with salad, it was a well rounded meal!
They used the newspaper bag as a cutting board to cut tomatoes (from our garden) and a carrot with a dinner knife.
They said they put lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, lemon juice, salad dressing, and pretzels in there.

Maybe I need to teach them how to make a couple of things this summer...
