Cookies

This girl of mine loves baking and all things related to it.  

She loves measuring the flour, sugar, and basically any dry ingredient she can get her hands on.

He favorite thing, of course, is eating the cookie dough.  Her second most favorite thing is eating the cookie itself.

Last week I decided to throw the rulebook out the window and begin some cookie-making right around dinner time and before bedtime (note the clock!).  I need to continually remind myself that children will not remember timely bedtimes, clean kitchens, or folded laundry; but will always remember the time we spent with them and how much we enjoyed them while at it.
