Yummy Banana Oatmeal Cookies

Buddy and I baked these soft, moist cookies today. We loved them. Baking was a lot easier with just one child and I was relaxed enough to let Buddy really help - he even beat the egg for me. We also watched "Charlotte's Web," played Legos, painted, and ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (a very big treat around here).
