Baking with Izzy

I spent Sunday evening baking with my favorite little baker, Miss Isabelle.  We made Apple-Pumpkin Streusel muffins, from scratch.  I've only made scratch muffins once or twice, and they were nothing to brag about, but these muffins came out delicious.  I decided to enlist Isabelle's help, knowing that the result would be a messier kitchen, but a happier toddler. 


I measured ingredients and Isabelle dumped them into the bowl.  I gave the bowl a good stir and then let her take over the stirring job. 


She loved to stir it up, which she called "pa." 


Isabelle took her job pretty seriously!


She was pretty proud of herself for being my little helper.  I also gave her the job of sprinkling the streusel on top of the muffins.  Sprinkle = "Cackle," and she would say "cackle, cackle" as she sprinkled it on top.


It was hard to keep her from eating the mixture! 


Isabelle loved her Apple-Pumpkin Streusel Muffins.

    I just realized how much she looks like Damian! I always say that if Court is ever curious to know what he would look like as a girl he just has to look at Ella :o)

    Oh yeah, Isabelle looks just like him! I find it amazing how much Ella looks like Court and Christian looks like you. Last year, I showed Damian their Christmas picture and made him guess who it was. It took him a whole five seconds to figure it out, even though it's been years since we've seen the kids in person.
