looking in on a cooking lesson

The other day the younger of the kids were playing in the kitchen and were having cooking lessons.  Yes cooking lessons.  Lydia was large and in charge.  The younger set, all boys were on the receiving end of instructions, lots of instructions.  They had utensils, bowls, and pieces of plastic and paper which were ingredients  As I came upon this activity late I do not know how they acquired such objects though Patt is suspected.

Close observation of the students will note that at least one of the students is not picking up on the do not taste guidance.

but at least Isaac is very serious  about following the instructions to stir in whatever it was, following carefully the demonstration.

John Paul quite surprisingly was grown up about being grown up and participating in a cooking lesson.

 and Luke never did quite tasting the mixture, working over that spatula the entire time.
