I have SO much to do today. I do not want to be a fun mom. I've cleaned two bathrooms, two bedrooms, done two loads of laundry, and there is still way too much to get done. Every time I turn the corner, there is another mess!
After lunch, Caely and Chasity wanted to bake cookies. For some reason Caely doesn't comprehend all that's on my list to do. She's asked me to take her bowling, swimming, play Nintendo, and now bake cookies!
I decided she and Chasity are old enough to read instructions and try it themselves, knowing that would be one more mess to clean up.
We pulled out the cup cake maker and they went to work. Lexi and her friends wanted to do it too, but they already had a disaster in the bedrooms. So, while the bedroom was being cleaned, the older girls went to work making a clean-up treat!I had to help at the start, but left to help Alexa. I should have done this long ago. The Chasity and Caely did great!
The best part for me was the girls being extremely responsible, they cleaned up their mess with out me asking!

You really are a fun mom! And those girls are lucky and will remember the one day in the summer of 2009 when the coolest mom in the neighborhood helped them make cupcakes!
I love that you let them do it themselves! Especially when there is so much to do!!
even when I completely ignore my to do list, I'm not the fun mom you are...
