Making brownies

Just a typical day! We were making brownies for a couple at church who just adopted a baby ( PS- brownies with applesauce instead of oil just don't taste the same). Mara wanted some batter which she's not supposed to have because it's full of sugar, has raw eggs, AND had gluten (she's on a gluten free diet until she's one) but after the crawling, the groping, the begging, and the crying as she watched her brother lick the bowl, I gave in. Not worth the fuss, really.

Nothing was more cute than her face covered in brownie batter. With the second kid, you just don't care as much!

This was such a priceless moment. The pic doesn't capture is as great as it was but both of my kids were in their own world. Alaric was on the counter licking the rest of the bowl and Amara had found herself in a special adventureland UNDER the stepstool. They were both playing and talking to themselves for minutes until i asked them both to look at me.
