we had a nice, lazy, rainy day at home today. brooke refused to get out of her nightgown - that's the kind of day it was. it suited us fine because i think the kids are coming down with colds, and i misjudged a step this morning and fell down a few steps with gavin in my arms. ouch! we're fine, but i'm sore. so, we watched pbs and played with puzzles and blocks and books. this afternoon brooke asked to look at my cookbooks and then sweetly asked if we could bake something. i jumped at the chance knowing that she'd want to move onto the next thing in a matter of minutes. today was a little different though. she was really into baking. she wanted us to put on our aprons (we did), she wanted to sit on the counter (she did), she wanted to dump and stir all the ingredients (she did), and she stuck in until the very end when the rhubarb streusel muffins went into the oven. she also asked that i say they were from brooke's bakery (i did). and then she proudly served them to us after dinner tonight, and gave me a big high five after she tasted her creation. she did good :)
