Unfortunately for my kids, my Control Freak tendencies prevented us from having too many baking sessions together when they were five. Oops. <FONT COLOR=#D0D0FF><i>(MD) Unfortunately these particular awards aren't nearly as tasty as their liquid counterparts. As for little kid helpers; it's okay if they're doing something they really can't mess up, like pouring from a measuring cup to the mixing bowl, or retrieving the baking powder from the cupboard. As it was, he was all too quick to haul in the vacuum cleaner every time a puff of flour landed on the counter or floor. He's got a Monk think going on, I think.</i></FONT> Can you send me one of those awards, or do I have to make it myself? :)

He looks so cute and I miss him so much and would love a cookie or two. Give him a kiss for his old Gramann, okay? Love to all, me <FONT COLOR=#D0D0FF><i>(MD) I know... he keeps on growing up, even though he insists he isn't.
