Toad in the Hole

Some dear family friends are on vacation so grandma is looking after their chickens. We had fun yesterday visiting Brother Verne's chickens and collecting some eggs for ourselves. There were 9 large eggs, some brown some white.
Peeking into the nest
The kids LOVED the chickens and were fascinated by the process. Lots of questions were asked & answered. Here are 2 of my favorites:
Why don't these eggs turn into baby chicks? (because there isn't a rooster in the henhouse).
Do the eggs come out of the chickens butts? (why yes, yes they do)
Ben absolutely loved the chickens, saying "look look" and then babbling excitedly.

His first word besides mama, dada & more (which sounds a lot like ma ma because he says more more more) was look. Now he can say ball & some also. It was a blustery rainy cold day (kind of lame for spring vacation) thus the cute yellow slicker that he his fast growing out of.

I asked the kids what they wanted to do with the eggs, they said they wanted Toad in the Hole for breakfast. YUMMY!

And our favorite thing to do with the hole....

Nutella Toast

Baby loves nutella!

Okay - I'm all caught up. I've never seen TOad toast - so haven't the slightest idea of what that's about - except for the egg and bread part. Do you cut a hole out of the toast? Why is it called "Toad."
Nice dancing on the tables and poles. I think they get it from both parents.
BFF? Really, you like him the best? JK! Of course, of course!
Looks like you guys have been having fun - as usual. See you tomorrow!

It's so fun for the kids to collect the eggs. Cohen loves to do it too when he can. I guess my dad got rid of the rooster. That's sad it was cool looking.

I've never tried the Toad in the Hole, but Nutella...now that is definitely staying stocked in my pantry when we leave Germany...I could eat it with a spoon (and sometimes "have" to lick off the nearly full spoon after making the kids a bagel in the morning...
