It’s Soup!

Today was cooking day here at The Dackel Princess House! I wanted to make a recipe that I’d gotten at Weight Watchers for points free vegetable soup. It has just about every vegetable known to man in it, and actually required very little work putting it together. I did, however, have a helper! Sarah was over early today and she worked with me all morning to prepare the soup, and then stayed for lunch. During our cooking preparations, she peeled her first carrot! I must add that she did it perfectly! She also helped measure out the spices and stir them into the pot! Oh, what fun we had!!

It was so much fun having a helper in the kitchen again. It’s been a long time since I had a child that small to work with and keep me company. And she worked hard on this soup and then enjoyed every bite of it once it was cooked.

After lunch we colored in some new coloring books and played with the dogs. Sarah climbs right up on the sofa with the pups and hugs and kisses them. Needless to say, they love it!

By mid afternoon we were both pretty tired, so Sarah went to her house for a while and I fell asleep in my chair with Greta and the two puppies. What a warm snuggly feeling that was! I slept like a baby for about 30 minutes.

The Sarah and her sister Kimmy were back for a while before they headed home for the night. I’m tired! I’d forgotten how wonderfully exhausting six year olds can be!
