Oh my, the kids were very excited today as it was Gramma's big baking day. Those poor kids, never having any home baked treats. What an outrage. In fact, it's their favourite part of visiting Gramma, or having her come here. They talk about it for days beforehand, and plan what she's going to make for them. Poor Gramma, she was trying to bake several batches of muffins and make pies, all with the assistance of a little helper. This, of course, made the whole process take longer, and she literally spent all day in the kitchen. She didn't seem to mind too much, though. I think she was quite chuffed Libby was so interested. And of course, all three kids have been eating muffins none stop all day. Each one of them has already asked to have muffins in their lunch when they go back to school on Tuesday. I'd say they were a hit. Not as big of a hit as the apple pie though, Connor's already got dibs on that for breakfast. They are all ready planning the baking session for when we go home in the summer (cheeky little beggars as I still haven't told them we are going). Apparently there is a strawberry rhubarb pie in the works. It's Daddy's favourite after all. I did point out Daddy won't be there to eat it. Their response, "That's okay, we'll eat it for him." As long as they stay away from my blueberry grunt, I am so not sharing that.
