My two girls are great bakers...
They love to make pancakes with me...or cake from a mix. The measuring, the mixing, the pouring...and the licking of the bowls. I love baking with them in the kitchen and am happy to clean up the mess.
My eldest daughter has extended her skills at baking to slime making. Although I seem to be perpetually out of both TIDE and white glue as a result, her homemade slime garners great reviews from her friends.
I love the expression (or rationalization) MESSY HOUSE HAPPY KIDS. It certainly applies to mine.
