Naughty Muffins

Yesterday the girls and I decided to bake some

Pumpkin Bran Chocolate Chip Muffins.

They were eager to help,

especially with the eating part.

A couple of times I asked the girls not to touch anything,

while I turned around to wash my hands at the sink.

I didn't think anything of it.

We baked the muffins and then saved them to have for dessert after supper.

Supper was 'Dough Boy Soup" according to Piper.

I suppose it's a better name for it than pea soup,

since the last time we had it,

Piper was so sad that she didn't get a single pea in her whole bowl.

Haha.

I figured out that she was looking for whole green peas in her soup,

not realizing that the entire thing was made of yellow split peas.

So Dough Boy Soup it is!!

After Piper ate THREE bowls of her soup,

she asked for a muffin for dessert.

(Elliotte has just cut her fourth canine tooth and is CRANKY.

She only ate three spoonfuls of soup. Sigh!)

While eating our dessert muffins

I told Piper that she and her sister are wonderful bakers,

as the muffins were delicious.

She asked me if I wanted to know why they were so good.

Of course I said yes.

She then said, 

"they're extra good because I stirred them up when you asked me not to."

Ahhhhh.

Good to know Piper. 

We have now renamed them from Pumpkin Bran Chocolate Chip

to NAUGHTY MUFFINS!

Naughty and nice?
More like naughty and naughty. ;-)

This would be the nice stirring.
The naughty stirring was obviously when my back was turned!

My three loves!
Piper, Elliotte and my Kitchen Aid Mixer. Ha!

RECENT CHATTER:

Mark and I find ourselves laughing at the girls more and more frequently these days. With the two of them chatting to each other, there are so many funny things being said. To us too!!!

Elliotte is putting five and six words together in sentences now, so things are really getting interesting. Today she looked at me and said, "I don't know Sleepy is", when she was looking for her little sleepy blanket. Then when she saw that I had it and told her it was time for her nap, she ran towards me saying, "okay Mommy. I'm coming!" Yep. Full conversations now. I can't help but laugh at the sentences coming out of such a mini person!

And though Piper is a scholar when it comes to talking, she is on a roll too!

A couple of weeks ago she looked at her father and said, "Daddy, can you please ask Mommy if I'm allowed to have a snack?"! Hahaha. She knows who's boss!!!!!!!!

And then today she told me that I looked like a lady. Knowing full well that I was going to regret asking the question, I asked her what I normally look like. Her answer: a grumpy tired mommy. 

Ouch. At least she's honest!
