Found this picture online and it fits so perfectly. Minus the creepy nails of course.
Nope she's not toasting Christmas or her birthday... She's toasting bread. She's been making toast for a couple of months now and has gotten pretty proficient. So early this morning while Mom was still sleeping and Dad had dosed in his chair Natalie began to make toast... toast... and more toast... and a little more toast... She toasted an entire loaf of bread. Seems she was on a mission. A mission to survive. She was making enough food/toast to last for two days in the far reaches of the upstairs... Yes, I believe this was Natalie's first attempt at running away. She had such a guilty conscience for what she had done she burst into tears and I had no idea what had happened. The confession fell out of her mouth surrounded by cries of I'm sorry.. I'm soo soo sorry! When asked why she had made so much toast she continued to cry....

"Because I wanted to have enough food in my room for two dayyyyyyyyysss!"
"Why do you need two days worth of food in your room?"
"Because I didn't want to do school work or clean the house......" Followed by more sobbing... "Aren't you mad at me."
"No. You do need bring all the food back downstairs so we don't get bugs."
"Okay are you sure you're not mad?" still sobbing.
"No. Go get the stuff."
I had to remain really calm, otherwise I would burst into laughter.
In her haste this morning preparing her goods. I think she had forgotten that today was Saturday and there was no school work. I think she didn't look around much to see that the house was relatively neat. And she didn't know that the plan was to make Christmas goodies. ( :
When she brought down all of the food and was putting it away I was trying to see what she had taken up all together without drawing any attention to it. She had two Rubbermaid containers and one gallon Ziploc filled with toast, about four cups of raisins in Rubbermaid containers, and four clementine oranges. She also put ice packs on top of the containers to keep the food from spoiling.
So anyone have any recipes that require large amounts of toast, or bread crumbs even??? ( :
