Facey Kids Weekend!

The Facey kids haven’t spent a weekend with us in awhile, so we made plans to watch the girls’ softball game this afternoon and then we would bring them (plus Ethan) home with us to spend the night. We know we’re biased being their aunt & uncle and all, but they are such good kids, and we enjoy our time with them so much.

For Christmas, Ed & I promised them a cooking lesson, and we bought them aprons that they could decorate themselves to wear to the class. The schedule has gotten pretty busy for them with softball now, so we decided to just give them an introductory lesson ourselves, and once softball ends, we will take them for their real class. The plan tonight was to make homemade pizzas.

The kids did pretty well with their first cooking lesson. They did a great job on the aprons too (as seen above). But of course, Uncle Ed got a big kick out of Jordan’s statement:

“Jordan Rocks … Star Wars Rocks too”. Nice, Jordan!

We taught them the 1st step – “Wash Your Hands”, and after the 2nd step – “Preparation”, we got all the ingredients on the table to begin step 3 – “Execution”. They mostly stuck to cheese pizzas with pepperoni, but Jordan and Kendall surprised us by being adventurous and trying a touch of garlic on their pizzas, with a little bit of Auntie Carrie’s Green Peppers.

I even got to make mine without cheese!

Kendall was in action after the 4th step, and a rule that their Dad & I both learned when we were growing up: “Part of cooking is cleaning up” (Isn’t that right, Mom?)

Yum!

Stay tuned for tomorrow’s adventures … word on the street is we may hit up the El Dorado Nature Center!
