Training

Train a child in the way he should go,

and when he is old he will not turn from it.

Proverbs 22:6

Ok, I'm taking this verse out of context. But some day someone will thank me for training her husband in the ways of the kitchen from young.

Skill #1: Mashing the bananas

Skill #2: Sieving the flour

Skill #3: Greasing the loaf pan


Skill #4: Washing up

No Skill #5 lah, just showing off the banana cake

This afternoon after church we decided to do some baking. We started with cookies first, then the banana cake. I got the cookie recipe here. But alas, my 2 boys were no where near the creativity of this baker's 2 boys who shaped the animal cookies so beautifully. What my boys crafted (gleefully) could be lumped under the heading "alien". I think they had more fun pilfering the chocolate rice and chips and cereal.

Possibly the only non-alien cookie


I shan't draw attention to the alien population



Alien sighting

In the evening, papa taught Ethan how to make a small chest of drawers. See the small shelf at the back? One of the projects that papa started during his medical leave.

Better listen huh...you think so easy to apply glue ah..


The neglected one.
Amusing himself while papa is explaining about right angles
and parallel lines to gor gor.

"Training" continued till near bedtime. The pixs you see here were uploaded by the boys. Bolstered by the small success, they concluded that having a blog couldn't be that difficult. Hang on boys, you've just given me a great idea of what you would be trained on next. The topic is patience.
