Thursday Afternoon is our Scout Afternoon, we have 8 (soon to be 10) rambunctious young boys ages 8 and 9, It is alot of fun to be with them, they’re so passionate for life, and full of energy, but as you can imagine, our hands are full. During this time we are usually trying to make sure our scouts are staying on task, not poking their neighbors with their pencils, trying to glue their hands to their faces, or burning themselves with the hot glue guns, as you can imagine, Truman and Tucker can sometimes get lost in the shuffle. Don’t get me wrong, most of the time, Tuck and Tru are right there gluing their craft sticks together just like the big kids, but every once in a while they can just slip away for a few minutes, and Toph or I will think they are with the other person.
Tucker took one of the above such opportunities to slip away. He decided to practice his cooking skills. We had just finished making trail mix with the scouts, and Tucker gathered the ingredients he liked and took them to the kitchen where he mixed it with other things he could find…
Here are his ingredients for “Tuckers Stew”:
Lots of Water and Milk mixed together well
a few handfuls of Craisins and Raisins
1 handful of Cheerios
1/2 of the Sugar Shaker (approx. 2.5 cups)
Mix them together well, and Voila! a delicious stew.
Toph and I realized what was happening right about the Voila part. When we came in Tucker was ready to sit down for dinner. The young boys got a spoon, and decided to dig in.
Toph and I decided to pass, It didn’t look as appetizing to us.
Ironically Truman loved it, and ate 2 bowls.
Tucker was done after one spoonful.
