Cooking up some laughs...

 Super Bowl Sunday means its time to cook some super fun snacks.

 Sequoia and Colleen had fun making some delicious Pigs in a Blanket ....

 Of course in this house, the pigs are really soy beans that manage to look like hot dogs, but the concept is the same even if the end result is not as fattening.

 Anyway, Sequoia did a great job wrapping up each little pig in its own little blanket.

 Sequoia really enjoys cooking and is getting to the point where her help is actually productive.

I am looking forward to her learning how to bake cookies!

High flying fun....

 Sunday morning I walked past Sequoia's room and overheard her getting things ready to take a flight. I poked my head into her room to see what was going on and she was busy lining up all her chairs to create an airplane. She had a passenger for each seat, gave each passenger a pillow and a toy and then had me fly them to the moon. We had just watched a cartoon the night before about three flies who stowed away on the first moon landing, so obviously the idea was fresh on her mind.

After flying to the moon, she put on her sunglasses and had me fly them all to the sun. The sun, as Sequoia pointed out quite accurately, is hot, so you need sunglasses. I guess her bare feet are tougher than I realized though since once we landed she hopped right out and walked around.
