I Am Not A Baker

I am not a baker. But there was once a time in my life when I dabbled. I enjoyed baking - the process of turning something from nothing. That time in my life was clearly pre-kidlings. I remember those days... waking at 10am, showering (and shaving!) at my leisure, purchasing things on a whim... Now, I consider myself ahead of the game if I have a plan for dinner before 5pm rolls around never mind finding the time to bake something that doesn't come from a tub (yay for McMillian's ready made cookie dough!).

This past week was March Break and I had big plans for my daughters and I to bake cookies from, you guessed it... scratch! BUT, the weather turned out to be so fantastic we didn't spend much time indoors (could global warming be all that bad?!... just sayin'). Today on the other hand was one of those cool, windy, don't really wanna leave the house kind of days.

I decided to wait till my youngest was asleep only because I figured my 4 year olds would get more out of the experience when their little sister's not clamoring for top spot at the counter. Because I'm not a baker - did I mention that?! We used the recipe that was on the back of the chocolate chip package.

My girls did a fantastic job working together and I really enjoyed doing it. We may just need to bake again sometime soon ;)

... they turned out great!!
