Ahhh... the lazy days of summer are about to come screeching to a halt. Three of the kids start a new school on Thursday this week. Uniforms, lunch boxes, backpacks and hair done first thing everyday... I can't wait :-/ I really could wait, if that were a choice, but it's not so we'll all pack in The Taylor Bus aka Odyssey a couple of times a day and we'll smile about it damn it!
Enough about that, this is supposed to be about our cookie party. The only flavor of cookie Grace will eat are sugar cookies... This is quite a bummer for me since I'll take just about any kind of cookie any day of the week and there are far easier cookies to make than frosted sugar cookies. Ahh well, I was smart this time, I doubled the recipe and still have 1/2 in the fridge waiting for us to do this all again... hmm was that smart??? I should have double the frosting as well, oh well! As you will see there was about equal parts frosting the cookies and eating the frosting. Jax swooped in, after a mario super strikers fest with the neighbor, frosted and ate all in about 2 seconds. Olivia liked making her animals multicolored, Maiah mostly cared that there was a cookie in front of her and a spoon with frosting in her mouth and Grace, ah Grace is my perfectionist, if a limb broke off I had to 'glue' it back on, she wouldn't leave a cookie with a mm unfrosted. It didn't matter how long it took it was going to be 'professional' she said to me.
The final picture is of our cookie zoo, they look nice an easter ish don't they :-)
Down the hatch!
