licking the beaters

so some of you mama's are so ashamed that i would even dare allow my children to lick the batter off the beaters... you know there is something about raw eggs causing salmonella... if it means anything i get fresh eggs from chris' cousin and they are cage free, free range, organic, homemade, deliciously fresh! ok so basically my rule of thumb is im depriving my children of awesome childhood memories if i didnt allow them to lick the beaters! so here are the boys on their first birthdays... see they look nothing alike. side note... i actually like baking when they are not around as i LOVE eating the batter way more than the actual cake!
