Lemon Bread...

Baking is not one of my skills or joys.  I do it usually because I have to, but if I can get out of it by buying something or making a no bake item then I will.  Well, I had the crazy idea to make lemon bread with my children.  I love anything with lemon and thought it would be something nice to try(which we all did love).

 I let all three kids help -AHHH!  I lost it a couple times.  The first was when I was getting the kids' aprons and Brianna and Bryce had already gotten the eggs out and Bradley broke one.



 And then when I was zesting the lemon and Brianna was trying to get her little hand in there.  Baking stresses me out, my kids love it, but seriously I don't know why they would ever want to bake with me again... I was so cranky.
Cracking an egg...
 Taking turns...
 He wanted to keep stirring...

 I think that because it is something they love I need to do it more often with them not only for them but to work on my patience as well.  I need to let them do more and just stand back some, baking would be a good thing for that I think.  And maybe one day they will come to love it and I won't have to do it again, hahaha. Here's to wishing!

The end result was very good and I loved how they were so happy that they helped make it!
He was ready to eat some...
