It was quite a sight…
Fall is in the air… and the lovely children of our neighborhood were out raking up the leaves. I was also proud to learn that my little one was the instigator! He was the “boss”, and was out directing his friends to work together and rake up all the leaves in our yard. Then, they proceeded to move to the next house. I watched him for a while, with pride in my heart at his enterprising and helpful spirit. 
A reward & a recipe…
After a while, my son came inside and was preparing to make nametags for all of his “employees”. Then, I got an idea… think of it as positive reinforcement. They were doing a wonderful job, and I had a recipe I was dying to try out. So, I fired up the waffle iron and busted out the recipe. Let’s just say the kids liked it… as evidenced by the empty plate below. Well done kiddos! 
Oatmeal-Chocolate Chip Waffle Cookies
Notes: These whip up in a hurry, using a minimal amount of dishes. The one thing I added the second time I made them (about 30 minutes ago) was a couple dashes of cinnamon. I would highly recommend you do the same. Delish!
