The DirtMonkies Make Cupcakes

Every once in a while I completely lose my mind and decide to let the kids cook. They always have a good time, while I get to clean and try to keep them from eating raw eggs and the like.

I noticed two things with these videos.

1. The chipped paint on the pantry wall by the table looks horrid.
2. The chairs really need to be re-covered.

So, I grabbed my touch up paint and fixed the chips. Tomorrow the seats of those chairs are getting new covers. I hope hubby's staple gun isn't out of ammo. You tend to forget to fix the little things until they get crudded out. But, if I'm going to vlog more, it has to get done!

The kids and I love to cook and just hang out in the kitchen. Hubby and I loiter by the coffee pot, sharing gossip. Yes, we gossip with each other. Usually about family members. It's fun to find out what men say when they chatter!

In fact- the kids are in there right now. Lucas, the 9 month old, is learning to walk in there. He doesn't like to walk on the carpet for some reason.



The Fletcher kids mix it up!


Even a bump on the head doesn't keep Amboo from baking.

Lucas fusses, so this one ends quickly.




I wanted to share this, not only because my kids are just so darned cute, but because Samsung has a really cool giveaway going on. It's called "Where Is The Heart Of Your Home?"

Samsung is giving away a washer and dryer to the blog post that has the most comments on it! If you're a friend or reader of this blog, you know that my washer and dryer both went kaput a while back. With 4 kids and a freelancer's salary- I NEED a new set something fierce.

I was checking out their page (Samsung's) and I'm in love with their appliances. Wanna see what I might win ? Go here- http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/group/group.do?group=homeappliances it has super-cool stuff for your home.

So, help me win! Comment, comment comment! Tell your friends to come see the DirtMonkies in action in our favorite part of the house- the kitchen!

It looks great! How cute! I can't wait to have a kitchen big enough for the family to "gather." Right now our kitchen is too set off from the rest of the house.

Looks like the "heart" of your house is one filled with love and lots of fun. <3 <3 And...mmmm...cupcakes.

This is **SO** cute! Not only does it give the kids a chance to explore in the kitchen, but some really great family memories are cooking in there as well. I love this post!

Just too cute.. Before you know it they will be all grown up....

Unknown said...

Your kids are adorable and don't worry about the way the house looks...there will always be at least one more thing to do to make it the way you want it. Hope you win the contest!
