Cookie Monsters

We decided to make cookie making an all-weekend affair.  With Kenzie's help, we made some rockin' decorated sugar cookies.  The girls were really excited and they did a very good job. Saturday's fun was rolling, cutting out, and baking, and Sunday was frosting and decorating. When the weather sucks, you drag these activities out to fill as much time as possible.  Am I right, moms?  :)  

Notes to self for next time: the act of frosting cookies should be left to adults unless you want your 3 year olds to mainline unadulterated sugar for 2 hours.  When given more than one option of cookie sprinkles, a 3 year old will choose "all of the above" for every cookie.  Play-doh rolling pins work really well for cookies when you are in a pinch and everyone MUST HAVE their own rolling pin (see below).  Naps are warranted but impossible for 3 year olds after making and frosting cookies for 2 hours.

Awww so cute! E accidentally dumped half a container of green sprinkles onto one cookie. It's a mess but worth it. It looks like it was a success, glad you had fun!
