When Joel went out in the back yard today to see what Joanna, Caleb, and Eliana were up to, they invited him to join in playing house with them. Joanna was cooking in the "kitchen" and Caleb announced with a water pistol in hand, "I'm gonna hunt for chicken!" That was too good of an invitation, so Joel grabbed a super soaker "gun" and joined Caleb for the hunt. Caleb said that the best way to hunt chickens and turkeys is to hide behind something (like the electricity box) and wait for them to come out. Then you run out and shoot them. So that's exactly what they did and brought home several plump turkeys and chickens for Joanna to cook up.
Since this was an old-fashioned frontier house, they would have to cook the chickens over the fire. First Caleb plucked the chickens with his super vacuum plucker machine (an admitted anachronism for the frontier days) , and then began turning them over the fire (sandbox) on a "spit."
Then Joanna came up with a better plan of having the birds cook on a rack (basketball net) over the fire. Eliana helped collect the green leafy vegetables (weeds from the yard) for the salad.
However, when Mom arrived home from the store with a (real) pizza, all plans of eating the sumptious poultry and salad dinner were scrapped in favor of the pizza.

My favorite part about the story is the fact that Eliana appears to be doing all this dressed as a Disney Princess. Is she wearing a Belle dress?

Yes, that's her Belle dress. She loves it!
