Cold and gray and freezing rain! We've played hide and go seek inside, lots of board games and computer games, and even blew up an air mattress in the basement so the kids could bounce around... So what else do you do when the kids are restless and getting on each other's nerves? Make Cookies!! I actually planned for it... The weather was supposed to be much worse and Max is a little sick, so I figured today would be a home bound day! Max used to only be interested in the eating part of cookies, until one day at school they made a pie and followed picture instructions! So Ross drew up some instructions, and since then, he is the lead baker!! Here he is holding the recipe paper and also a picture of the recipe paper Ross drew:
Here he is proudly holding the cookie dough! As I was spooning it onto the cookie sheet, he was going over the instructions and said, "Now you put this onto the cookie sheet, and then they GROW UP into cookies!!! YUMMMMY"
And here is the proud baker watching the "cookie growth" happen! Magic!
Hope you all have a good week! We are getting an arctic blast in a couple of days!! Mom and Dad, do you want to visit again??

i hope we get some snow this year! the kids haven't seen snow in two years. hopefully you get some snow the kids can actually play in!
Apparently we just get ICE!! So it is all the yuck of winter and we don't have any snow to play in!! Do I sound bitter?
i got a book from the library yesterday and thought of you. 'Pretend Soup and Other Real Recipes' is a cookbook for preschoolers that as step-by-step drawings for each recipe--although i do think ross's drawings are better!
how's the weather up there?
