now we're cooking...

mason loves to cook. after the horrendous pancake experience, we've severely limited his kitchen time, but he hasn't stopped loving it. so the natural choice for his birthday present was his very own kitchen. a manly kitchen. (and you wouldn't believe all the eyebrow raises we've received for buying him a kitchen - which we clearly ignored).

it arrived on a tuesday and after a quick scan of the directions (which required emptying the entire box to find them), mommy wisely decided to wait until daddy was home to attempt assembly. surprisingly, little tikes instructions are relatively easy to follow and we finished the job within an hour on friday night.

mason was so surprised when he saw it saturday morning. he looked at it, then at daddy, and asked, "i play?" before running toward it.

in a nutshell, he loves it. and mommy has been the recipient of unlimited "coffee" refills and quite a few interesting culinary treats. here's to many more happy meals - and we don't mean the golden-arch kind!

it managed to arrive the same day 

the last hurricane did... thus the 

slightly damp & dented box!
