The Baker Man

 Cole enjoys helping make sugar cookies.  This time I heated the dough after pulling in out of the fridge because it seemed way too hard to roll out.  Well, that meant they were too soft to roll out then so we just went with it and instead of sprinkles I made up a batch of icing and we introduced Cole to a new way of decorating.
 Icing.
 This is after the first batch.  Cole took a cookie break.

 If you ever wonder what color his eyes are this shot has some very excellent clarity.
 This facial expression cracks me up.
 Batch #2 of cookies.  We had paper towels underneath to catch all the drippings.

 "This one is done, Mommy."
 "Um, this one is done, too."

 He's serious about his work.

 We went to the aquarium yesterday.
 Cole ran from tank to tank like a maniac.
 "The sing ways (sting rays) spash (splash) the wah wah (water)."
We left prematurely since Cole had difficulty even listening to us/hearing.  He was beside himself with excitement and screamed as we had to leave because it was very crowded and he was not very reasonable.  Maybe next time we can spend more time there...

MOPS Christmas Playdate and Cole's 1st Making Sugar Cookies!

 The MOPS Christmas playdate was fun this year!  We ate and made ornaments.
 And looked so cute.
 And played ring around the rosey.  Yes, I have heard it is actually about the bubonic plague or something like that, but seriously, how else do you get this many preschool kids to do something in unison?
 And have SO MUCH FUN!

 We all fall down!!!
 The funny thing...a few of the older girls started this.  No parent initiated it!
 And then we start the game where we all run around and chase someone!
 Cole was so in!
 That night we made Christmas cookies...well, sugar cookies of vehicles with green and red sprinkles.  It almost counts!
 Cole loved helping.  He really did nearly everything.  He rolled dough.
 Picked out the cookie cutters.
 Laid them out (with help).
 Pushed them down (with help).
 And sprinkled (with no help, as you can see)!
100% whole wheat sugar cookies are delicious!  We loved them!
