I thought the toddlers would really enjoy helping mom with the bell peppers today.  So out we trodded out and gathered our bell peppers and brought them back in the house.  This part went ok.  It was the next step that turned bad for me, they thoroughly enjoyed it though. 

So now we are in the kitchen washing the peppers and the kids are having a blast playing in the sink.  My kitchen needed a bath anyway, right.  Then I cut them in half so the kids can help clean out the seeds.  See this is where I should have stopped their helping but noooo I let them help.  I now have seeds from 20 peppers all over my kitchen!  Not only did they help take the seeds out, they couldn't tell when to quit.  So the peppers are now in various size chunks instead of nice strips like I had intended.  But on the bright side they did have fun and I did get my peppers done.

And tomorrow I tackle the last of the squash and zucchini with ds7.  He loves helping with the blanching and freezing.  Hopefully it will be a little less messy tomorrow.  I better go and get the kitchen clean before dh comes home from work.  I can just imagine his face if he saw this mess! LOL
