When little ones make cupcakes

We're pretty partial to borrowing winsome kiddos, and the last time we had our dear friends' kids sleep over at our little home, they implored us for the chance to make cupcakes, all by themselves. They flashed us their adorable smiles, and how could we resist? They did a marvelous job, as older brother Rock led the culinary charge and helped his younger sisters decorate cupcakes worthy of a bakery display. The husband observed the entire process and said to him, "Rock, I'm going to teach you how to make a fire after this. We can't have you just making cupcakes." Five minutes later, the husband admits, "Rock, I have a confession. I don't know how to make a fire." My husband is such a nerd. I love him, and we love the sweet kiddos with whom we get to spend time.

  4. They are so cute. And yeah.. if they flash their smiles at me.. I think I'd pretty much let them do what they want. Adorable kid smiles and doggie faces get me every time!

  12. Those kids are so cute! And it looks like it was a lot of fun. Baking with kids is the best. I'm not sure if you want to be parents, but it seems like you two would make amazing (and super fun!) parents someday! :)
