Baking Pals

I did a something last week that is hardly ever done in my house: I baked. Don't get me wrong, I love to bake. I love to be in the kitchen. But I just never make the time for stuff like this. So I finally did. Gavin was down for a nap, Brad was home, James was (mostly) behaving and distracted. Time to don my apron and get going! So I thought. I promptly heard some incoherent ramblings from a tiny someone... yes, James was tugging at my apron and pointing at my other (and smaller) apron for him. It was adorable and I promptly tied the waist apron on the Jamers. My volunteer was ready to get going! He quickly grabbed his two favorite "toys"- his spatula and his spatula... but two different kinds. Seriously, why are they both called spatula? Beyond me. Moving on... 
We set out to work... meaning, I did everything and he ran around in all his apron cuteness. I'm pretty sure I need to make him one (maybe in a nice blue, or green, or anything but pink) now. His assistance didn't last long, but I survived and turned out some decent chocolate chip cookies. I'll tell you this much- the husband suuuuure enjoyed the baking. 
 Gotta love toddlers not holding still...

  2. How fun! Love James in the apron! I am sure Brad ate almost all those cookies himself! He is a cookie monster after all! ;)

  3. What a good mother/wife to actually bake the cookies yourself. I may or may not be the one who buys cookies and puts them on a plate trying to pass off that I personally baked them. Love the aprons! James looks good in pink ;)
