Making Pumpkin Pie

At some point during the holiday season I made pumpkin pie. While this seems a simple task and does not generally include bragging rights, let me give you a little glimpse of how my pumpkin pie baking process went:

1. Text my mom for the recipe because my cookbook is in storage
2. Pull up the link to the recipe
3. Begin getting out ingredients
4. Set Abby up at the sink because she wants to "hop" (help)
5. Continue getting out ingredients
6. Move the chef's knife out of Abby's reach just as she's about to grab it to "wash"
7. Begin putting ingredients in the mixer
8. Help Abby push her sleeves up before they get wet
9. Smell evidence of a dirty diaper
10. Change said dirty diaper
10.5 Wash hands
11. Begin mixing ingredients
12. Make a final decision on what color to paint the basement from the paint chips Dave offers me
13. Continue mixing
14. Approve Justin's final school work for the day and clear him for screen time
15. Cut Abby off from the water because it's getting all over the floor
16. Deal with the tantrum that ensued as a result of #15
17. Continue mixing
18. Take a potty break
19. Help Abby brush her teeth after she follows me into the bathroom
20. Pour the mixed pie into the crust and place in oven
21. Set the timer and pour a glass of wine! Haha!

And to make all this reading worthwhile, here's a picture of my little munchkin "helper"!
