Mom HATES to dust! She thinks it a big waste of her precious time because no sooner do you get the house dusted, it's back the next day! So I volunteered to do the dusting while mom got the cake started!
I'll do a bang up job for you mom! You can count on me!
I could hear the cake mixer running while I was dusting away. All of a sudden dusting wasn't so much fun! I'd rather be in the kitchen with the FOOD!
This is the batter for the coffee cake. One of our guests is allergic to nuts so no nuts in this cake!
I am SO glad I ditched the dusting chore or I would have missed licking the mixer beaters! What a tragedy that would be!
OMG, but this is good! This is going to be one rich cake with both butter and sour cream in here! I don't think this is a dieter's cake, mom!
It's looking good! That's brown sugar and cinnamon topping on there! YUM! Into the oven it goes!
It looks awesome, mom and it smells even better than it looks! When do we cut into it and EAT it?
I was a good helper and deserve a small piece, right? Thanks, mom - I knew you'd say yes!
So until next time...............
Love ya lots,
Maggie
Maggie you are an exemple for all of us...you do a great job keeping your house clean and you also help your mom in the kitchen... Today I am also in the kitchen with VĂ©ronique....miam miam...

Say Hi to Mitch, that cutey pie
Maggie, that cake looks yummilicious! You are such a good helper! Did Mitch get some too? Since he's a boy-dog, he probably isn't as helpful around the house! But he sure is a cutie!
ReplyDeleteAire-hugs,
Poppy, Penny & Pockets
You are such a darling, Maggie!
ReplyDeleteThe cake certainly looks yummy! Is it hard to make?
The cake looks so yummy, would you save me a piece?
ReplyDeleteHve a great time at dinner tonight!
So did you get a taste? We were over at the army of fours page and they have a recipe for lemon bars. Mmmm they sound so good. Mom is going to make them when we get back from the lake..

ReplyDeletegussie
u hav been real nice to help out, is it good, how did it taste?
ReplyDeleteOh my dogness, look at that cake! Your mom is a good cook, I can tell. I wish she could make me something. My mom wishes that too.
ReplyDeleteAbout Casper's Barkday party, Ice and Miko ate their cake when they got home. Their Mom said they were too excited to see so many doggies all at once. While they were driving home, they couldn't keep still! That tells ya we had a great pawty!

You look adorable in your cleaning outfit Maggie! But I agree, the kitchen was by far the best place to be. We have chicken roasting in the oven and the smell is divine!
ReplyDeleteOh, and a parcel arrived from you. I briefly sniffed it before ma whisked it away to hide it until later in the week. Thank you!

hi M&M, do you think that we are going to be invited for dinner? we really would enjoy a piece of that cake.
ReplyDeleteyour mom looks like she is a good cook, and especially with you helping out in the kitchen.
our mom feels the same way about dust. she doesn't understand where it comes from. we don't understand why humans worry about such silly things.
woofs!
Hi, Maggie!
ReplyDeleteI wonder what would your mom do without you! Cleaning and cooking!
You are so nice helping your mom with the dust! Here we have dusty rain so you can imagine how is our house now!
Yummy cake! I hope you got a well deserved piece!
Kisses and hugs

Bentley eats the dust bunnies around here, he's gross! That cake looks DELISHOUS our mom barely ever cooks, sometimes she turns the outdoor stove on and cooks on that but that is rare also.

Hi Maggie, looks like you've had an awesome time in the kitchen yesterday! Could you send me some of that cake? I think I can smell it from here!
ReplyDeleteJess
Hey Maggie, I think I'll move to your place. When pinky bakes a cake we don't get any...so not fair.
ReplyDeleteYour cake looks yummy. Hope you enjoyed it.

Maggie, our girl hates to dust too, and said you can come over and dust our house any time you want. She's not a very good baker though, so no licking the beaters at our house.

ReplyDeleteYou are lucky lucky Airegirl, you know that? Your mama lets you lick the beaters AND have a piece of cake? When can I move in?
We need you over here in GooberStan to help dust our castle. Stanley's no good at it, I can't reach anything, and our girl... she's just plain L-A-Z-Y! (I like you dusting dew rag too, by the way.)
Goobery love & kissies to you, MitchMan, and that sweet mama of yours,
STELLA
Mmm... cake! Did you get some?
ReplyDeleteI love to help with housework - I have my own vacuum. You and I should get together - we could clean up in NO time!
Play bows,
Zim
Wow your such a good helper - even though we couldn't figure out how exactly you were helping with the dusting - unless you count lying on the floor and covering that section - heehee
ReplyDeleteEither way yes we agree - you deserve a piece of cake - yummy it looks soo good.
Hey there m&m!
ReplyDeleteNow i know why my hooman hates dusting too!
And the cake, ooooh....
I'm sure you'll get a slice!
A small piece of cate? Uh-huh! You need a BIG piece after all the hard work you did. You are one cool looking Maggie Maid!
ReplyDeleteYou are so helpful Maggie! Mom and Dad did some more painting and working on the house this weekend and I sniffed every single thing Mom touched to help. She said it didn't help at all, but I know better. We missed the beginning of the race because Mom is really bad at converting times. We watched the last 73 laps so we got to see Kyle win in the Snicker's car! Mom is hoping he can win in the M&M car next week.
ReplyDeleteKaos
oh my goodness.. how adorable do you look in your cleaning outfit!!
ReplyDeletejust gorgeous!!
Mum is salivating over the coffee cake.. honestly the mention of coffee in any capacity and she is a dribbling wreck!!

ReplyDeleteYuuuummmmmm! Licking the beaters is the BEST! (We smile when we see you in your M & M's collar - we can't help it!)
ReplyDeleteWe are just hopelessly behind because the servant has been ridiculously unavailable. We think things have settled down now. We missed you guys.
