Baking fest!!
Every week while Sam is at PreK and the older three are at school, Abigail and I have our 'girl's day'. Abigail is free to choose whatever she likes for us to do with our day!! This week, Abigail chose to come home and spend the day BAKING!!!!! We dropped Sam at Pre-K for 9am, then came home and cleaned up the kitchen before getting started!!
Abigail started with a simple Jello cheesecake mix from a packet which Lloyd had picked up last night - he LOVES them and had put ina request for Abigail to make him one!!! She rustled that up VERY fast!!
Cookies were next - 'wholewheat and oat cookies with chocolate and butterscotch chips' to be exact!! She followed the recipe - getting all of the ingredients out and measuring everything.....using my kitchen aid mixer (which she always loves to use). The cookies came out perfectly!!! Totally yummy!
After that Abigail peeled all the potatoes I needed to go with my pot roast for supper!
Then after lunch she set to work on making cupcakes - marble chocolate chip cupcakes - half of which she then iced in BRIGHT BLUE icing!!! Lovely ;) Sam was definitely impressed :) 4 year olds LIKE bright blue icing :)
