bread and tomatoes


Last night the kids and I made bread. The kids were very helpful and had a lot of fun with the project. After we got all the ingredients measured and mixed up, I gave them each a little dough to knead and shape themselves. Thomas said his felt "soft like a stuffed animal and sticky like fruit leather". Meredith wasn't crazy about the stickiness.

Our little tomato plant is turning red! Last week I picked up this little guy from Trader Joe's. We have avocado, lemon and orange trees and the kids have been enjoying watching the food "appear" and then grow, but it's a slow process. The tomato plant is perfect because every day we check it and every day something is noticeably different. They are looking forward to tasting their first tomato and I'm guessing today might be the day!
