Popcorn!


When I went with Ethan to the farm, a couple of weeks ago, we picked popcorn.  I LOVE popcorn!  The kids get out of school at 2:10 on Fridays for Shabbat.  Shabbat begins at sundown, so in the winter months, they get out early to make sure they are home in time.   It gives me an extra hour and 20 minutes with them.  We do our normal stuff, showers and snack, but also have time to kill.  Last week, Gab and I made Oreo ice cream.  The boys lost the privilege of doing it with us.   Today, Joshua asked when we were going to make the popcorn.  It was the perfect thing for us to do! After showers, I let them put their popcorn into a brown paper bag and then into the microwave for 2 minutes and about 15 seconds. I added butter and salt, can you say YUM!? The boys laid down a blanket on the floor and we watched Sky High.  It was a good afternoon! 
P.S. Popcorn is another thing I plan on planting in my garden, when I'm all grown up....
