Maybe it's the fact that I had Jaycie 10 months ago, or maybe my kids are just very "mothering" and "fathering". I'm not sure which one.
Anyhow when my friend sent us home with some zuchinni from her garden it immediately became a baby doll. They carried that thing around the house for several days until I, being the mean mom I am, announced to them that their zuchinni baby would be much happier if it was made into zuchinni muffins that we could all eat.
Aubrielle then looked up at me and asked, "You mean we're going to die it?"
"Yep, that's what you have to do to make it into zuchinni muffins" I cheerfully replied (trying not to make it sound so morbid).
Luckily they both went along with the idea after we took some pictures of them with their "baby" (check out the "proud parents" looks on their faces...too funny) and helped me make some incredible zuchinni muffins. We had a great time and fortunately did not have to mourn the loss of our zuchinni baby, but were just able to celebrate it's new life as zuchinni muffins!

lol before I read your narrative I was wondering how the kids felt about cutting and shredding up their "baby".
What funny kids. Looking at his pictures, I can't belive how much Benson has grown up this past year.
That is so funny! I cant believe the things kids think up all on their own! Its so good they didn't have any issues with the muffins, oh how fast they FORGET!
Those muffins look GREAT! What kind of recipe did you use? I've had sweet breads go oh so wrong on me before!
