When you walk into the kitchen where you momentarily left your cookie making and see this...
 ..you know you are in trouble!
This is after they tasted the butter and sugar
and flour and salt and soda
and, of course, chocolate chips.
 I had to hide the eggs and vanilla..there was no way I wanted that to be "tasted"!
One last bite....
I think I learned. The next time I made cookies I gave them jobs. You know, the easy ones like..I need a spatula..Please go tell Nay-Nay that I need three dozen eggs..Here, take these empty egg cartons to the mud sink, where the boys wash eggs..Can you get me the flour container out of the freezer please? And it went a lot better. Plus one of them was not interested in cookie making at all that day so I was squished between two stools and not three! Oh, it is soo fun to be the "morning mama" to these little girls a few days a week. They love to help and love to sing, therefore the time flies! Enjoy your little ones, even if their form of helping is tasting cookies..in all of their forms!
Blessings! Carrie Lynn
