Cooking Lessons

Kiersten loves playing in the kitchen with me and so I started "teaching" her how to cook. Our first lesson was making a cake.

First: rip open the box and add all the ingredients. She loved putting in applesauce instead of oil and kept talking about the applesauce the entire time.


Second: turn on the mixer.
She loves turning the kitchen aid on and watching it spin. More than anything, she loves squeezing the poor eggs to death and making it splatter everywhere. If I can get to the eggs before her, I crack it and then have her help me open the shell into a separate bowl.


Third: Pour batter into the pans....or spoon everything in very slowly haha.



Fourth and most important to a toddler: Lick the bowl clean. She even got some in her hair because she stuck her head all the way in the bowl.


Tonight I had her help me make German Pancakes for dinner- her favorite because it required SIX eggs! Yahoo she was in heaven!



She practically did everything too!! She unwrapped the butter all by her self, had some assistance cracking the eggs but she poured them into the kitchen aid bowl, then poured the flour and milk in by herself.

Yay my little Betty Crocker is growing up so fast!

What a pretty girl!

Kiersten was watching me while I was putting on my make up. When I was done I put it in the drawer and then left the bathroom to see what Bradley was getting in to. When I came back in Kiersten was crouched in the corner. Hmmmm.... she turns and said "Hi!" She put eye shadow on her right eye.

So pretty haha.
She scratched out all three of shadows. I guess its time for new makeup!

One little Monkey jumpin on the bed

You most likely know this by now, but Bradley and Kiersten have different rooms for naps and share a room for night time.
I heard some noise coming from Bradley's room so I went in to check on him. He greeted me at the door with a sticker that is a wall decoration. While I was sticking it back on the wall he pointed to the bird and started to climb his bed again to reach the other sticker. My kids are monkeys!!

Cousins

We went and saw my sisters, a bro in law, and two nephews this weekend. It was hot so the kids played in a kiddie pool were given water balloons to play with. The kids were not allowed to throw them at us but I still got SOAKED because they kept popping while I was tying knots in them.



Ruben tried to throw a bucket of water at Bradley but he was smart and ran toward the parents.




Kiersten wasn't so lucky.
