Banana Muffins

I haven't posted since December. Part of the reason is that I am too tired to think at the end of the day and that is usually the only time I have to sit and type something. Then I realized that I don't really need to type out long thoughtful stories every time. So, I will just keep it simple and post about little events that happen. At the end of the month, it will be a long, thoughtful story comprised of small "happenings".

So, with that said...we made banana muffins! It is really cold outside (I know, I know southern coastal BC cold isn't the same as the rest of the country's cold, but I despise it just the same) so I don't really feel like going anywhere. We've been doing laundry and playing around the house all day and we needed something to do. Amy was right into it, but Jake (in typical 6 year old form) complained because he wanted cookies, but then gobbled up a muffin once they were done! Here's a few pics:

Amy's first batch of muffins

"Me do!" she said.

Getting the pan ready

They turned out perfect! Moist inside and lightly browned on the outside!

I think she was trying to figure out how it went from batter to being a tasty treat! Oh..and how she was going to eat it with a fork...she gets a fork or spoon out of the drawer for everything...

Jake: the unwilling baking participant, but the willing taste tester:) Hmmm reminds me of an old kids story...

Here are a few other pics unrelated to today's baking...

Amy has become such a little "mommy" I have found her in her room covering her baby dolls with a generous helping of baby powder... Here she is putting a diaper on Glow Worm.

And here she is putting a diaper on her Cabbage Patch doll.

And here she is after running away from me with the baby after I tried to help her...No! Me do!

And here is Jake doing his math homework. He is such a smart boy. I had trouble with his math sheet...he says "heeeeerrree..let me show you!!" I guess I have been out of school too long and have lost the "basic" skills. Wow.

Anyway...happy weekend! K.
