Too Hot in the Kitchen

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.  Most children would be fine with cold cereal.  Generally Kadence would too, except she can't mix anything so its not worth it.  

Kadence has really been into mixing and doing all sorts of things in the Kitchen. She helps with the dishes, and takes the salad dressing to the fridge- 3 bottles at once, and no she won't take them one at a time.
She is so willing to help.  Check out these two stories.

I"ll get you a snack Dad

If you know me at all, you  know that I'm always hungry and will eat prett much anything.  Often times I'll come home from work and say, "I want a snack" and head to the kitchen to see what I can find.  Kadence is always there because she knows that means she can have some of whatever I get.  Well Friday last week I had a really bad headache and came home to plop my head on the sofa.  Kadence asked if I needed her tummy medicine.  I told her I don't need any tummy medicine that my head hurt.  "Well you must need a snack. I'll go get you a snack." Not thinking anything of it and slipping further into my sofa I decided that I beter just go to my bed.  So I ploped myself down on my bed where Chantrie was at the computer.  A few mins later Kadence comes running in and makes that mmmm mmmm sound- not the this is great! but the where do I spit this out????  I look at her mouth and there is some brown/pink liquid running down the side, but it's got a powdery look to it, like when you add water to a mix but haven't got it mixed together yet.   I ask Chantrie (who hasn't turned around yet) "What do we have that's brown in our fridge?"  I sent Kadence to the kitchen to spit it out- (we tell her all the time not to spit something out, usually new foods that she's tasting.... not when something tastes horrible... we will have to work on that.  Come to find out, she was making me a snack.  It was yogurt- red something and she had found a drink mix that Chantrie's mom had made.  It looks like hot chocolate mix, but tates more like baking chocolate until you add it to other ingredence. I  laughed and thought had I eaten that snack, I would have taken her up on the tummy medicine!

Today Kadence decided to start her day off by making oatmeal for breakfast.  Apperently she decided that she didn't need to wait for Mommy to come back in the kitchen.  She pulled the hot water from the mirowave and spilled it all down her arm.  Take a look at this burn... blisters and all.
That reminds me.... we finally got our new camera after 3 failed attempts to get one that's worth anything we ended up ordering online and we love it.    So these are the first pics we got.
