We cook, brew beer, do dishes, hang out, watch music videos, dance, play music, cook some more, do more dishes. In our kitchen, we have one stool, handed down from Andrew&#8217;s aunt years ago. There used to be more, but they broke, and we never replaced them. The boys drag their little white play chairs in and line them up along the counter top. Sometimes Milo sits on the counter. Other times he does dips perched on the corner, propped up on the right angle of the counter&#8217;s curve.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"DSC_0001\" href=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2883\/9666081971_ee63003bf3.jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.staticflickr.com\/2883\/9666081971_ee63003bf3_b.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0001\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"DSC_0004\" href=\"http:\/\/farm8.static.flickr.com\/7352\/9669315316_b3ce85db7a.jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7352\/9669315316_b3ce85db7a_b.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0004\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"DSC_0007\" href=\"http:\/\/farm8.static.flickr.com\/7281\/9669315836_eb6db7bac0.jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7281\/9669315836_eb6db7bac0_b.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0007\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We make juice (green for Andrew, carrot-orange for Oliver and Emil), we bake, we surf the internet.
