They cook a lot together, both mother/daughter and father/daughter, and I thought this would be fun.
The best part is the stool we had built by Three-cut Kent, in Bala!
It serves as a snack table, work table, and step stool!

I am very proud of our children. Caitlin works 4 days out of 5, Jean-Luc works as a consultant from home. The kids are in a Home Day Care four days a week.
I've been a working mom, and they aren't so much juggling family life as living it to the fullest.
My late mother went back to work when I was 5 years old.
We were a working class family.
She worked 31 years for Toronto's Rotary Club, in the Royal York Hotel.
My mom's best friend, a neighbour babysat us.

Now, we have many families who benefit from day care; public, private and non-profit, where kids are looked after in love and joy. The kids' day care provider is a wonderful woman, who takes kids to play dates, and on outings.

Welcome to 2012!
Below is a video Josephine (4 years old) made, while Mummy and Papa were cooking in their kitchen! Having taught these skills to my students as young as gr. 4, I knew she could do this, too!

I love "Freedom Shifty-FIve"! Congratulations!
I'm sure the aprons will be well-used, and Jofee's video is adorable.
Looking forward to more in this lovely new year. (Pretty snow and hoar frost here this morning.)
Luv, K
PS
I meant to say how much I admire the multi-purpose stool and snack table. What a great idea.
Now I can see you , as the teacher lady, using these opportunities to teach many different things. A teachable moment!
Great little cooking vid. Looks like you have passed on the tradition of cooking to your kids and they have done the same. Happy 'Shifty FIVE' b-day to you. Nice family! W.C.C.
Love the post and agree with all you said about working/day-care/changes welcome....we both come from (and continued and passed on) a proud working-class family tradition.
I also love the step-stool/table combo -- darling -- and the cooking (same as above, could have been us ;>).
