Little Hands Can Bake Too (well... kinda)

We have just been having WAY too much fun in the kitchen lately. Yesterday afternoon we ventured into the kitchen to create some cookies. Trying to cook or bake with two little monkeys scaling my legs is a little difficult so I thought "put those monkeys to work!" So today, please allow us to walk you through our Oatmeal Raisin Cookie recipe.

Step 1 - Measure Vanilla


Step 2 - Measure Cloves


Step 3 - Add Crisco

Step 4 - Shake salt while making silly noises!

Step 5 - Measure Brown Sugar

Step 6 - Pack in Brown Sugar


Step 7 - dump in bowl

Step 8 - SMILE!


Step 9 - Get a new measuring cup...




Step 10 - Eat flour.





Step 11 - Assess damage.




Step 12 - Rinse, wash & repeat.


Step 13 - Share your cookies with Daddy (shhh.. don't tell him about the baby spit extra special ingredients.)



Full disclosure - these were made for real people outside of our family (haha) and we only used CLEAN measuring implements!

Exciting New First!

Last week the girls celebrated a big "first." First bowl of soup! Exciting, right? haha. We had grilled cheese and tomato soup last week and I was feeling brave so I offered the girls their own little bowl of soup. They were so cute we had to show Craig over the weekend. Please allow them to illustrate through photos the correct way to eat soup.


Step 1 - Dip sandwich in soup.


 
 


(also dip crackers)




scoop soup and TRY not to spill.


 


It's ok if you do spill, Mom will clean it up.


When you are finished move the cat and wash your soupy clothes.  



 Happy soup eating to you all!
