Today I decided to do something I have never done... make real bread without a breadmaker! Our eldest boy had a friend over to play, so both my boys were busy playing with him, baby was asleep and Little Miss was busy writing stories (or pretending to) - so I grabbed the opportunity. But as it usually turns out... baby woke up early, and Little Miss decided I needed her help!
First, knead the dough - CHECK
Make sure baby is okay - CHECK (note: she doesn't have big teeth, that's banana coming out of her mouth!)

Make sure chickens aren't up to any shenanigans - CHECK

The finished product out of the oven - CHECK! (boy did it smell and taste good with our tomato soup for dinner!)
It's feeling very homely and farm-like around here with all the talk of chickens laying eggs and baking bread... quite nice for townies like us.
