The Joy of Baking



As a child, one of my favorite parts about home baking, whether I was much of a helper of not, was getting to lick the batter off the spatulas and other mixing tools. Ethan has a bit more experience in licking the baking tools so he begins asking for them as soon as I start baking. On the other hand, Ava is a bit inexperienced as I usually do my baking during her naps for less distraction. This day we were making brownies for a Fourth of July BBQ and I had to chase Ava down to get her to take a lick of the batter. Once I finally forced a taste to her lips she was sold! In the end we had to find a new clean outfit for the BBQ.


I love seeing Ava going to town in the background!
Ethan if really working it with the whisk!
Ava all clean and changed for the 4th BBQ. Of course she has Ethan's old backpack ... there was a time this summer where it went everywhere with her.

They are so dang cute. Love all of the action shots, as baking really should be a full contact sport!
