Josie and Cookie (while Ed was at preschool), made the crust for a spinach quiche and then for a potato based quiche. She proceeds to tell me how easy it is, that even Josie was doing it. Cookie then tells me her mother made her own pasta...just to put it in reference for you.
Eddie said he wanted to make a picture for his buddy Grace who is moving to Japan for 2 years, he also wanted Josie to make one too. There is a reason finger-painting is recommended as an outdoor activity!
Kids and running water--it's fun. So I bought the kids a play sink that has a pump to recirculate the water. They can play in running water to their hearts content without wasting water. And, when they are cooking with Cookie, Josie can pretend she is interested in scrubbing the potato and the other 50% of the time, play in the running water. It is really cool to see Cookie involve the kids in cooking--Josie even cracked the eggs!

yes, I can think of many reasons also to hold off on having Josie going to preschool. Cookie's a gem. She has the kids interact with others in the neighborhood so that aspect is addressed as well as many other great ideas.
Yes, it's fun to make noodles. I hang them over the back of a chair to dry. Really. I've done it a few times. The kids might get a kick out of doing it together sometime when we're there or you're here. Love G'mom J
