Orange Rolls - Yum!!


It's that time of year again when Jeff makes the ever so popular Thanksgiving orange rolls. This year I made the kids aprons in my sewing class and they loved wearing them around so much that we thought we'd put them to good use. The idea was that they'd each get turns helping Daddy with various parts of the process. What really ended up happening was Andrew played in the flour and Megan wanted to do it all by herself.

Andrew ended up making trails and piles of flour on the table, chair, and floor. Megan really didn't have a spot on her till Andrew decided it was time to make a game of it and starting trying to throw little pinches of flour at her. He didn't make much of a dent but was able to get some on her face and hair.

Megan was really only focused on Jeff and how much action in helping she could actually get. She watched everything he did and was ready to jump at any request for her turn. She is not good at standing by to watch. She is definitely a hands on type of girl.

All in all the kids had a great time. They loved getting involved and Megan has enjoyed eating the fruits of her labors. Andrew hasn't been too interested in eating them but that isn't surprising. It was fun in the kitchen for the kids. It just made more work the Mom and Dad but that's what parents are for right?!? :}
