Beastie the Homemaker

Here is Lennon modeling her brand new, hand made apron from G-ma Lawrence that she got for Christmas. G-ma Lawrence (Grandma Sweet/Barb's mom) loves to sew and make gifts for the grandchildren for Christmas. She has made the grandchildren all sorts of gifts, from quillows to hats to purses. I love the idea of homemade gifts (if only I could sew!), there are the ones that come from the heart and these are things we will keep for generations (or as long as they stand the test and wear of a toddler).

Lennon loves to cook in her kitchen and thank goodness she has an apron her size because she is a messy cook (just like her Daddy).

Thank you G-ma Lawrence for the perfect gift!

Chef Beastie

I finally have the time to post more (hence the next few posts bearing the date October 30, 2009). Woo hoo! What better way to start my posting frenzy than with Lennon AKA Chef Beastie.

When Mimi was here to help with our big move she brought along Lennon's Christmas gift. Yup...a Christmas gift. About two and a half months early. Once I saw it I knew she wouldn't have been able to wait until Christmas to see Lennon play with it, and frankly it's saved my butt a few times here at the new house. : )

Well to get to the point: Lennon has become master of her very own spiffy kitchen. This is the kitchen of all play kitchens. Compartments for everything, top of the line microwave, stove, oven and fridge. If only it could really make ice! Thank goodness we haven't put batteries in this thing yet, otherwise I am sure Josh and I would have chucked it out the back door by now. But Lennon loves it. She marches over to you (if you're not already made a hostage), says "Come!" while pulling you into the kitchen, then shoves you down so that you can sit and enjoy her home cooked meal. She mostly cooks ice cream. That's my girl!
