Rex woke up from his nap early a few days ago and Greg had the car. I was starting to freak out: What am I going to do with this kid for the next hour and half that he's supposed to be sleeping! I only planned enough activities for 3 hours--not 4 1/2!
And this Rex came up with this idea.
He climbed on the table and turned the mixer on. I was pretty sure that meant let's bake something. So we did.
Here's Rex in the apron I made him for just such occasions.
We made sesame bread, which was going to be a promising alternative to the usual chocolate chip cookies that we make, but I didn't hear the timer go off, so we burnt the bottom a bit. The bread wasn't terrible, but it wasn't as good as it could have been either.
Have you tried making pizza? You can use canned biscuits for the crust-just roll them out, put some canned spaghetti sauce on them and grated cheese. Any kind works. Bake for about 10 minutes. I used to make my own dough and sauce. I have good recipes for both. He might like the little pizzas. But it can be messy. I used to do this for the kid's birthday parties.
