Brownies

The kiddos and I mixed up some brownies this afternoon. They both sat up on the counter, helped measure and pour, and even cracked the eggs. Then they took turns mixing up the batter. Claire's favorite part of this ritual is tasting the batter before we pour it in the pan. She of course did this and then kept egging Landon on to try some (this to a boy who does not eat sweets very often). Landon finally poked his finger in, just barely, and held it up. Claire said "now lick it with your tongue, Landon". Landon held his hand near to his mouth, stuck out his tongue, but couldn't reach. Claire said "put your finger in your mouth and then lick it with your tongue". Landon did this, tentatively, and then with a huge grin on his face stated
"DEEEE-licious!!".
