Dinner time at our house can be a bit chaotic. Dinner time prep even more so. Mouths and emotions are left hanging open. Especially after day care days when the kids have to transition back to home life whilst hungry. But now that Dunedin has been helping in the gardening process she can identify herbs that we can add to our meals. As she spend dinnerprep time begging to ‘help” and Griffin spends the time hording all of the pots and pans needed for the meal, I have been sending D outside in our little enclosed backyard to get the herbs. She was reluctant but very excited at the prospect of going alone. She explained to me that she needed a ‘hunting outfit’ left for 10 minutes to find it and this is what she came up with. It is summer, mind you.
