The kids and I made Raspberry Oat Bars last night. I'm still getting use to letting the boys help. Summer has been my helper for so long now she does great. We all put aprons on, grabbed some chairs and got to work. Summer put all goodies in mixer. I hand it all to her. And the boys took all the big spoon and spatulas out. They had fun.

Recipe from Incredibly Easy Cookies cookbook. I changed strawberry to raspberry. And I don't follow the instructions the way they say, which makes baking way more fun!! Also I need to bring a timer outside. I overcooked mine alittle because I was outside with the boys. But they turned out yummy! :)
