It's the Little Things...

My kids LOVE to cook!  Both of them can stay entertained for hours (okay minutes) if I give them a job in the kitchen.  Both kids love to bake and help peel eggs for deviled eggs and will do just about anything I ask them too if it has anything to do with cooking.

Awhile back I had a craving for homemade chicken & dumplings.  When I say homemade chicken & dumplings what I really mean is chicken & dumplings from the Felton Fire Hall that someone else has made.  Those things are seriously the best thing I have ever tasted.  Unfortunately, the Felton Fire Hall only makes the chicken & dumplings on certain occasion so that just wasn't an option.  Now, I can make Chicken & Dumplings but generally choose not too.  Let's face it...it's kind of a lot of work.  However on this particular day I REALLY wanted them and the kids were kind of restless so I thought why not...I can entertain the kids and get my Chicken & Dumplings and everyone will be happy.

I pulled everything I needed together and chaos ensued...
And this was only about halfway through:)

Little flour footprints leading down the hallway to the bathroom

Some of the aftermath

flour face...I love the white eyebrows:)
There was flour EVERYWHERE!  This may have been a bit of an ambitious undertaking for a 5 and 2 year old.  They were literally covered head to toe in flour as was my entire kitchen, foyer and bathroom.  The kids thought it was all hilarious and even though I knew that I was going to be spending the rest of my evening cleaning it made me so happy to see that it really is the little things in life.  I LOVE my little things:)
