Yesterday we had alot of fun with Willow and Harper.
In the morning we were busy at the organized playgroup. After a couple of hours there, we let them play with their friends in the nice playground afterwards. It was really a lovely day, mid 20's and a nice breeze. A great change from the high 30's and humid which we had earlier in the week.
In the afternoon me and the girls chilled together for an hour or so relaxing together while Grandpa replaced the top of their mud kitchen outside on their deck.
Afterwards, we made a batch of blueberry muffins. They love to do that. They can crack an egg really well without making a mess. They both love to take turns stirring the batter, and pouring it into the muffin cups.
Afterwards, as most children do, they love to lick the batter from the spatula. What kid doesn't? But I really think that she may have a future in quality control.

They prefer the blueberry muffins over any other flavour.
Willow can even tell you that the blueberries contain antioxidants and how beneficial they are to our bodies.
We've tried our hardest to convince them that blueberries are nature's chocolate chips but healthier, and I think that she's bought into that concept.

@Juliaacv - I also love blueberries and I used to make blueberry muffins. Now my husband seems to have problem with no matter which little seed he finds. I had so enough to see him stop eating because of seeds that I stopped making blueberry muffins.

Oh, yes licking the bowl was always the best. I loved my grandmother's cake batter.

I still love to lick the batter!!
Sounds like you had a fun day and I bet they were surprised when you showed up. It was nice that the weather cooperated for some outside play time

It really was a fun day.
We made plans for next Thursday.
I told them that I would bring a big piece of bristol board, and we can fold it in half and use it as a card for Father's Day.
I will have them glue some muffin papers in a row and put faces on them and bodies under them for their parents and themselves.
I thought that they would love doing something like that.
