Hits and Misses

 

I've been here just over a week.  I have cooked every night but one.  I had promised one McDonald's run while here, so we did that. The youngest has ate none of the food I prepared.  Can't please them all.  The oldest has not ate anything that I prepared, but at least she can find her own food.  Thank goodness for the middle two who either eat everything or at least be willing to try it.  

I have had help cooking.  I think that must be the best part for number three.  She and I also made bread.  She liked the process and ate some of the bread.  I made no bake cookies.  How can anyone not like no bake cookies?  Number four was willing to try them but asked what the little flat things were.  Oatmeal.  Well, he doesn't like oatmeal so would not try it after that.  

We spent an evening doing some art. They liked that.  I think more than doing the art, they liked someone doing the art with them.  We have started reading a book.  A long chapter book.  Hope we get through it.  It has a lot of obscure language to them, so I have to interject meanings.  So far though they seem to get the story. It is full of shenanigans.  

There have been hits and misses.  We will see how the rest of the time goes.  Probably more of the same.  Since there is more cooking, art, reading and playing planned. The weather is warming a bit which means we can go for some walks.
