Can someone help me check if this is iambic pentameter?

I have been puzzling over this for so long and I think I am close to the correct format. Thanks in advance.

Along the winding waters in the woods,

A boy and girl are left alone for good.

Their father, a wimp, their mom, a harsh witch,

Kids are a burden they need to unhitch.

Within the forest, a path they must find,

They leave a long trail of breadcrumbs behind.

In hours, they find a small house made of sweets,

They run over and eat: loving their treat.

The old hag in the house became enraged.

She locked the children into a large cage.

She tries to bake them, to eat as her bread,

But the two siblings had her baked instead.
