My Kitchen Helpers

Uh oh! Jack and Kate were helping me make some pumpkin muffins yesterday (Meagan's recipe -- really good!). Jack's job was to stir the flour and baking powder together. Oops! He was trying to smile, but wasn't quite sure what to think of the 1 1/2 cups of flour on his jeans.

Every time I make dinner or cook anything Kate and Jack pull up their little chairs to help. Jack usually just tries to stick a spoon or something in for a taste. Yesterday I caught him trying to eat a piece of raw chicken that I was putting in the oven. I'm glad I caught him before he ate it. Yuck! Kate's a good helper though. She always pulls up her chair and says, "Mom, so what can I do for you?" I love hearing that!

oh boy! Yes i love to have helpers in the kitchen, but sometimes i have to say i can work a lot better without them :) It's good for the kids to help and watch in the kitchen. Fun times.

That is such a great picture. You are so good for letting him help! I finally got my computer set up so I can check your blog again. Only 2 more rooms until we are all moved in!
