My purpose for tonight's blog should be to keep you all updated on the cuteness that is Audrey and Lexi. I suppose I should be honest... Tonight the torture of 24 begins for another season. So, really, I just needed to find something better to do, and fast! So, please enjoy.
At the beginning of the week Audrey decided she was going to make her own Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich. Since then she has mastered the cuisine of PB & J and makes an average of three a day for herself, then when she can eat no more she tries to convince Lexi that she is craving Audrey's specialty and a little peanut butter is all that will make the world right again. I'll admit it has made my world a lot simpler especially after I taught Audrey "a chef always cleans up after herself". Needless to say she is relishing in her new found freedom.
After watching Audrey in the kitchen all week Lexi has decided she can do it too. She has to keep up with Big Sis.
The Master Chef hard at work
We're in the process of getting her own Food Network show as we speak.
Lexi has found a more effecient method
Now, I'm all for Lexi's process. In her defense the jelly was my Grandma Sam's Pomegranate Jelly. The only thing that competes with that is Grandma Crouch's Raspberry, which sadly can't be found in our fridge at this time (hint). The only flaw I've found with Lexi skipping the bread is the major cross-contamination issue. Peanut butter, jelly and a generous amount of drool are all mixed in each of the jars. That's all right, we still love her.
Yesterday I decided to use my awesome Christmas present that Tim gave me. My new popcorn popper, which I ordered Tim to buy me and I almost bought and wrapped myself. I must say it works beautifully and I was very excited to make one of my favorite treats that my mom used to make on rainy Sundays. No, it was neither rainy nor was it Sunday, but we made it work. It's funny how quickly a cube of butter and marshmallows can take you back to childhood, plus it's just yummy.
Audrey was impressed with the capabilities melted marshmallows allowed.
Yes, it looked even grosser in real life.
Lexi was just busy stuffing her face, I couldn't fill her bowl quick enough. When I took this kernel off her chin she squawked at me until I popped it into her baby bird mouth.
I hope I've made you all hungry, go ahead and get yourself a snack. I only have 18 minutes left of 24 to endure, thanks for helping me out!
