Baking with Boys!!

Photobucket

There has been a lot of baking happening around here! It certainly never fails that I always have AT LEAST one set of helping hands around! I use the word helping quite loosely. I do believe it is good for boys to learn how to cook and how to behave in the kitchen - so it is important to encourage helping, but that doesn't make it any easier!

Baking with my boys never seems to be quite a sweet and cute as I think it's going to be. In fact the other day while Seth and I were making cookies I heard a very interesting conversation happening between him and the butter...

Seth (mixer in hand): "Butter, you're going down!!"
Butter (innocently sitting in the bowl): No reponse!
Seth: "Butter, you're no match for me!"
Butter: No response!
Seth: "Butter, It's over for you..."

You get the picture!

Eli on the other hand is my taste tester! So next time you come over to my house for some fresh baked bread...just know that Eli has already had his little taste!!
