Ryan has almost reached the rank of Tenderfoot-the 2nd scout rank. Over Labor Day weekend we stayed home (which was a tremendous treat because Greg has been working crazy long hours at work so we REALLY enjoyed just all being at home together!). The boys both worked on scout stuff. One of Ryan's requirements was knowing safety and how to sharpen an ax, a saw, and a pocketknife! Other than the pocketknife these things normally live in the garage!
This is not the child who normally plays in the kitchen with me but Scott is working on a merit badge for cooking and we decided the long weekend would be a good time for him to do some cooking. He made 6 quiches (starting with pre-made pie shells)-some sausage and cheddar and some ham and swiss. Quiche is one of Ryan and Ashley's favorite things to eat!!!
He also made meatloaf-which is one of HIS favorite things to eat. It turned out well-I just forgot to get pictures of the meatloaf.
He also had to use several different cooking techniques and grilling was one option. So we got the grill out of the garage-we bought a new one this summer-for the porch that is seeming to take forever (there will be a post about that soon!)-but for now the grill lives in the garage.
They grilled hot dogs and bratwursts for us to eat for lunch. He also made macaroni and cheese in the crock pot-because that is an example of simmering and because he LOVES macaroni and cheese!
We also played lots of games together and watched movies together over the weekend-loved having an extra day off to enjoy fun family time!
