Getting Ready for Thanksgiving Dinner













It feels like I've been in my kitchen forever getting ready for the ISE Thanksgiving and now for our own. So inevitably my little ones want to be where mom is so I am trying to get them involved as much as possible.

I have given Harrison floor cleaning duty. He loves to sweep and since he loves to dump most of the crumbs on my floor he would be perfect for the job. He also thought it would be funny to dump a little pitcher full of water that his sister got for him on the floor, so I taught him how to scrub the floor as well. Seriously, I don't put my kids through manual labor, Harrison just really does like to help clean up. I hope he continues to because he makes lots of messes.

Addison on the other hand likes to make and bake and taste. She does a really good job cracking eggs and mixing and rolling out dough.













She really had fun helping me make homemade croissant rolls for dinner, but I think she discovered that if she helps roll the dough that she can sneak little bites of the dough when mommy is not looking.
