Mmmmmuffins

I feel kinda bad that I haven't baked with the kids much... Griff used to help me all the time when he was a toddler... but the fighting and messing that I knew would occur has kept me from doing the same with S, G & F.  The other day I decided to give it a shot.  Mostly inspired by the gorgeous aprons my good friend Tara made the girls for their birthday! 

Here's a shot of everyone ready to go - but before any ingredients were handed out.

And ya I bet you wish I had some shots of them actually making the muffins.  But that would be CRAZY! I needed all my hands and then some to keep the experience relatively positive... definitely not the time for a photo shoot.

So here's a shot of the final product.  We made 15 little whole wheat banana muffins... and they were delicious! (and nutritious too... which is why I didn't feel bad that we ate all of them in 15 mins flat!)

They were so good they deserved to be eaten with his eyes closed.

And in case you were wondering... my first week back at work was amazing! I still feel a tad guilty to admit that... but it seems to be such a perfect balance for me.  2.5 days in peace & quiet and still plenty of time to spend with my loves.  And they LOVED going to the dayhome. Prepping for our 7:15am departures and 5pm supper is a whole lot of work... but totally ok once I'm in my office with a cup of coffee and a clear head!
