In which this is a great way to spend a rainy day

May 21, 2009

Start off with bubble baths that go on until everyone is as wrinkly as prunes.

Then coat the babies in baby lotion so that everyone smells delicious and soft. Put on your comfy clothes and make sure everyone has an elastic waistband for the day.

Dump out the toybox and let the small lad play. Discover that he likes to bang things together.

Fill up the sink with dish soap, warm water and food colouring. Give a wee girl her tea party set, a few measuring spoons and let her have a good time “cooking”. Even if she’s soaked by the end of it.

Then have a good lunch together.

And make sure everyone has a good nap.

Then curl up with a cuppa tea and a very good book. A book filled with beautiful coming-of-age stories about our connection with food at home. Feel refreshed, thoughtful and revived by the connection we all have with feasting as families. Resolve to cook a good meal that night.

Even rainy days are beautiful days when you embrace the quiet and the chaos together, aren’t they?

    It was a sunny day here, so we spent the day building a deck instead. I did, however, resolve to make a good supper. Started water boiled to make the potato topping for shepherd’s pie only to discover THERE ARE NO POTATOES!!! And being Ascension Day in Menno-ville, the grocery stores are closed!!!!!!! I’m never cooking again. *sob*
