My little helper!

Me and the boys wanted to make Halloween cookies to give away.  Let me just say that this 'organized, thought through" event I had envisioned in my head of me spending some quality time with the boys in the kitchen ummm, not so much.
It was fun but the process took triple the amount of time it should have and after we were finished my kitchen looked as if some one had dropped bombs of flour from every angle possible.
But you know what, I wouldn't have it any other way~ because they enjoyed it.  We started the process while Cason was at school so I had my little man helping me.
I thought if I just threw some bowls and spoons in the floor for Parker he would "think" he was helping mommy and I could do the real mixing on the island.  Well I was wrong, I turned my back for one second and he had pulled the flour jar off the island (which I am still in disbelieve that he can reach that high) and had dumped it all over the floor. 
I couldn't help but let him finish because he was so concentrated on what he was doing and was taking it very serious.  It was like he was oblivious to the fact that he had dumped a pound of flour all over the tile.
His effort for trying to help deserves an A+, he is my little sweetheart and there is no one I would rather be baking cookies with than him! 
To those who received some of the McDaniel's Halloween cookies, I hope you enjoyed them, they were made from the hands of a sweet little 17 month old boy who is a great helper to his mommy!
