There is never enough bread in a house with five kids.

And I don’t trust the store bought garbage with all it’s additives and toxins, so every weekend I’m baking extra bread for the week. I buy 50 pound bags of flour directly from a flour mill so I know where it’s coming from and who’s messing with it and each loaf matters.

Sometimes baking all of our bread is difficult and has to be done late at night after we get everything done, but some weekends are much easier.

This weekend had plenty to it, but there was time to bake and play in the dough with the kids.

When I asked: What should we make our bread into today?

The kids shouted: Bunny bread!

I love bunnies and it’s bunny season. So we set to it.

The thing about kids is that their versions of animals are always… very…creative. I love seeing how they made animals.

My six-year-old made a pretty good little bunny. He even did a frog too, which is good because the toddler just placed a bunch of tiny pieces on top of each other.

Hers looked like a rock pile. It was a perfect hill for her brother’s creations.

But my four-year-old needed some guidance. He made a big bunny head. He wanted to cut out the eyes and mouth, and it will probably haunt my nightmares.

My husband said it looks like the bunny from that awful movie Donnie Darko. (Sorry, I hated that flick and nothing will change that–I’m not into time travel stories, and definitely not THAT time travel story)

To top it off I made a flower loaf and that should fill the kids’ stomachs for at least a day or two.
