Kitchen Crew

My kids love, love to help me in the kitchen. Usually when I start preparing dinner or they see me getting out the baking ingredients, I hear chimes of "I wanna help!" followed by the screeching sound of them scooting chairs to the counter.Paige and I making Peanut Butter Frosting--our fave! Paige's new thing is whippin' up fruit smoothies with whatever she can find. 3 little aprons in a row.
Sometimes I just give Preston a bowl of flour and a spoon and off he goes for lots of messy fun.
We made sugar cookies for Family Home Evening a few weeks ago, and here they are in all their glory. ( Wondering about the blue hats?? They are actually booties that the carpet cleaner gave us to use after he shampooed our carpets--now they are multi-purpose.)

Did I see peanut butter frosting? My favorite as well. I have only had it on brownies, what do you guys have it with? It sounds divine. You guys are so fun, you should really enter some sort of family cook-off!
