Tied in Knots

Wednesday was a very long, very emotional day for me and by the afternoon I needed a break. I needed to do something fun with my kids. Of course things don't always turn out the way we want - they fought like cats and dogs while I spoke with PapaBear on the phone after his job interview.

We got back on track when it was time to add the flour to the pretzel dough we made. There aren't any pictures of that process because we had ourselves an itty bitty flour fight.


The look on Sam's face was priceless when he saw me making a mess on purpose.




It was a great stress reliever to kneed the dough. We played catch with the balls of dough, giggled and talked.



We connected.


We had fun.





And we ate a totally unhealthy and unbalanced dinner.

A bit of advice: Print out the recipe before you start.
Scrolling down with my hands covered in sticky dough?
I don't recommend it.
