Cookin' Cookies

don't got a lot to say today. sprout was feverish (ooooh, 102.8) all day yesterday and was up most of the night last night (even though his fever was gone then.... grrrr!) so i'm dead tired. just thought i'd share some holiday baking pictures.
what??? you don't consider halloween a baking holiday?! all holidays are baking holidays- duh!

cutting the shapes and showing mommy that the dough is in fact sticking to your fingers.

putting on sprinkles..... lots of sprinkles.
(bean has never heard of too many sprinkles)

posing with her "artistic" (and hopefully edible) creations.

and yes, there are orange pumpkins, green ghosts, and purple cats. why? we had an educational decorating session- we learned about mixing colors. bean guessed that red and yellow would make orange (yay!) but thought that red and blue would make green (oops!). educational and yummy- you can't go wrong!
yeah, yeah, some days i'm an "overachiever" but then other days i can't get it together and we are all still in our jammies at dinner time. the latter happens more than i'd like to admit.... ;)

I didn't do enough baking with the BA when she was young. We seem to be making up for it now. It will be Christmas cookie time soon...

You know you have tired mommy brain when read a post with pictures as cute as these and all you can think is, "What color does red and blue make?" LOL!
