It's easy to be a mom when you can give them back after 3 hours

Mom gave me these great cookie cutters for Christmas, so I decided to use them the day I babysat Kylie and Morgan. The girls helped me from start to finish and we had a lot of fun. I told them that if we made them, they couldn't eat them until after dinner and they never even tried to talk me out of it. It was amazing.

I felt bad twice: Kylie helped me crack the egg, which completely missed the bowl and landed on the table during the whacking part. She said, "I'm not that good at it yet." It was my fault, but how could I convince her? If only I had that picture of Jackie's egg that did the same thing about a month ago.

I also felt bad when the girls got done and realized theirs didn't look just like the ones on the box. Wasn't sure what to do about that, but I'm not a mom yet so I figured eventually I'll know what to say.

I did NOT feel bad giving them extremely watered-down pink lemonade when they wanted some with their crackers. It was before lunch and I wasn't about to mess with spoiling a meal. It wasn't even until they were halfway done with their pink drink when Morgan said, "This lemonade tastes like water."

It was such a fun morning for me, and after they left at noon I could get on with the laundry, cleaning, and grocery shopping. Piece of cake! - L
