Baking with kids

Baking with my kids is always fun but not always easy.  It would be so much faster, less messy, more "perfect" if I could do it on my own.  But the kids LOVE it and so I try to put away my type A personality and go with it.  Today Lauren and I made banana bread, chocolate cookies and chocolate chip cookies…

She even had a hand in what pictures I took.  This girl has a plan in mind for everything.  

Crushing the egg seemed like a good idea… We will have to work on that.  I did get to work on my "picking shells out of cookie dough" skills though.

"I better do this, mom.  My hands are smaller than yours!"

Not perfect but made with love <3
