10 Minute Kitchen...for FREE!

So Jackie was talking tonight about cooking a "big dinner" and a little play kitchen is something I've wanted to get the boys for awhile, but just never got around to it.

I've seen a lot of DIY kitchens online and have wanted to tackle a few. Like this one.

But I'm a little intimidated. Trying to turn an old dresser into a play kitchen...? Nope.

But I heard about bin kitchens and have seen a few around bloggy land like this one.

I thought I could do that! And I did.

I took the easy way out and pulled this puppy together for free in under 10 minutes...probably sooner if Jack would've stopped bugging me.

I already had an empty bin not in use. I traced some circles out of construction paper and cut em out. Four big ones for the burners, four small ones for the top knobs and 4 more small ones for the front knobs.

Then taped em all down with clear packing tape. All done!

The hard part was figuring out what I could do without in my kitchen, so Jackie would have some stuff to cook in his kitchen.

So even though this is a free project so far, I think we'll be heading up to the local thrift store this weekend to find some inexpensive cookware for the budding chef!

Enjoy!

Whatever Wednesday #17

Well, my Whatever Wednesday is a little late this week. Hubby would not get off the computer yesterday.

It is so sad how we fight over computer time...really?

By the time I actually had a chance to get on to post, I was so tired I couldn't stand it.

This weeks Whatever Wednesday is just as simple as ever...

Just Jack and Sam playing beautifully (and quietly) at the table one night before Christmas. I was sitting at the computer (oddly enough) and I heard Jack just talking away to Sam about "Christmas Day and the presents and that all the family would be there..."

We had been talking a lot about the meaning of Christmas and how special it was so he felt the need to discuss it all the time. Such a grown up boy!

And it won't be long and Sam will be talking up a storm...gosh, they sure are growing up.
