If Life Gives You Lemons...

During Elizabeth's naptime, Ava and I like to find interesting projects to keep us busy.  Ava loves to help in the kitchen, so one recent, hot day we decided to make fresh lemonade.

First, we rolled the lemons on the counter so more juice would squeeze out.  Next, we squeezed several lemons into a pitcher.  After about four lemons, Ava decided I'd better do the rest because it was getting "too hard".
We added water and sugar to our lemon juice and Ava asked if she could eat "just a little" of the sugar to see what it tasted like.  Yep, sugar tastes like sugar.
Then, it was time to stir everything together to dissolve the sugar.
I love her sassy, hand-on-the-hip pose.  I'm sure I'll be tired of seeing this in about 8-9 years when that pose is accompanied by a teenage attitude.  For now, I'll enjoy the cute-ness!
Taste test.  Whoa, too sour...needs more sugar!
More sugar did the trick!  Yummy lemonade!
I look forward to many, many more memories made cooking in the kitchen with my girls!
