the oven kept getting hotter

Yesterday was baking day in our home. N went down for her nap and the big kids got to help me! We made a super batch of banana bread with chocolate chips and walnuts (YUMMMM!). The kids loved helping by adding eggs, flour, sugar, bananas, vanilla, etc. Then of course watching the stand mixer is always such a treat for the kids. Although it makes me nervous that a little hand or finger is going to get mixed in too. I always make sure to put J's hair back so that it does not get sucked into the mixer either. Ugh, I can not even imagine what damage that could do! Anyways... we got the bread in the oven at 300 and read books for about 55 minutes. Took the bread out, let it cool, and then it was snack time. While the kids were eating snack (by this time N's nap was OVER) I whipped up another batch of banana bread. This time using a different recipe from the notorius cookbook that does not always turn out! Baked up that bread at 350 for a while. Now it is time for chocolate chip cookies! As long as the oven is on I may as well keep going, right? Cranked the oven to 375 and the cookies are almost done. Now it was time to shut the oven off and start the stovetop for dinner. Tuscan Chicken over Linguine with steamed fresh green beans on the side. Sounds good right, well not so much. Better luck next time. Not all the meals we eat/ cook can be perfect! = ) At least the family humored me and ate *most* of their meal.
