Anybody want some cookies?

Belive it or not I am just lame enough that I have never let Maci "help" me in the kitchen. What kind of Mother am I?!?! One that likes a clean kitchen. There I said it. I have deprived my first born of the magic that is cooking and baking on account of my OCD. Call family services.

ANYWAY...... I was making some snickerdoodles for our new neighbors and she wasn't falling for the 'let's watch Elmo while Mommy cooks' trick. She carried her stepping stool over to the counter and started asking for 'balls' (cookie dough).
I figured it was time to let her join in, so I deemed her my cinnamon-and-sugar-cookie-rolling-fairy :)
It was actually a blast! It took me back to when Grandma Helen let me "help" her bake.....some of my FAVORITE memories!


Interestingly enough when I turned back around to get the "kookies" to put in the oven, they all had mysterious Schwimpy sized finger holes in them. I couldn't help but laugh ;)



This is the face I got when I said "show me the cookie".........









I think it was a hit ;)
