Mason's Feast?

So this is from back in November, but I still think it is worth posting just a tad late! Mason's school class had a feast in where the kids all prepared the food. They were all assigned something to bring, like we brought in two rotisserie chickens, which were used for soup. Mason also taught the kids how to make taffy with a marshmallow and your fingers (messy!) I spent the morning in his classroom enjoying watching the kids have so much fun. They got to cut up the chicken, well I should say destroy the chicken! They were chopping vegetables, melting cheese for nachos, boiling eggs, making mini cheese cakes, and ants on a log. They were also responsible for cleaning up which they did a good job of. If you don't know Mason well, then you don't know that he was not, I repeat NOT excited about eating the food! He talked about this feast for weeks and was excited about making it but not about eating it.

Here is the layout of what was served. Chicken and wild rice soup, deviled eggs, nachos, and ants on a log. After a lot of coaxing I convinced him to try the log, just by taking off the raisins,(I wouldn't eat them either) the only other thing he ate were the chips, no cheese please! George was able to come for the lunch part and both he and I enjoyed the soup, very tasty!

Here is how Mason really felt about eating! This is pretty much the same look I get every night!
