If You Give Your Daughter An Apron

One of Avenly's favorite games right now is to go into our pantry and bring something out, then go back into the pantry and bring something else out.

Tonight she brought out her apron. And after I put the apron on her, she wanted to cook with me. And when Carter saw Avenly wearing an apron, he wanted an apron too. After I put an apron on Carter, he wanted to cook with me too. So I put Career to work making dinner, while I made ice cream.

For dinner he made his favorite food in the whole world, toast with jam on it cut into three strips.  But our neighbors started their firework show before he could cut the strips, so tonight it was a toasted jam sandwich. And when there are loud noises and other children outside, Carter has to find out what is going on.

And if Carter goes out side, Avenly wants to go outside too. And if she is outside, Mom or Dad have to be outside too. And since it was a holiday after all, we all ended up outside at the neighbor's, ooo-ing and awe-ing at their awesome fireworks for Pioneer Day.

And that is what happens when you give your daughter an apron.
