Baking with your Kids

Workout:  None - And I ate pizza, about 6 cookies, and had a giant Coke!! One thing I love about December is baking cookies.  It makes the kitchen warm, the entire house smells good, and you get to have dessert for the next few nights.  Everything is wonderful and grand!  Then, to make things even merrier the kids come to help.  You are making cozy memories, teaching them valuable math skills, and allowing them to get a little messy.  We laugh and giggle together and take turns licking the spoon - AH!, so wonderful! Hahahaha!!!!  That is what I thought baking with my children would be like....before I had any, and the idea of motherhood was like living in a land of bliss.  But, the reality is baking with your kids is AWFUL!!!  It just sucks!  You give them a cup of flour and half of it doesn't even go in the bowl.  They whine and complain because you won't let them crack the eggs or measure out the wet ingredients.  They spill the sugar and now you are stepping on sugar
