Sugar cookies (not frosted) are a rare type of cookie T Rex actually will eat. Bebe Sister? Well, she has yet to meet a food or soap she doesn't like to eat. How she maintains her 24 lbs figure I do not know but that girl can eat. In fact, we could not share any of these cookies because we were not sure how much of the dough she tasted and licked before it was rolled, cut, and put into the oven.
We each chose a cookie cutter shape to use. I selected a turkey shape utilizing the kids' great-grandma Besta's cookie cutters. T Rex wanted to make trains and Bebe Sister wanted to make dinosaurs (she is really into dinosaurs and has the best little dino "roar"). I pretty much let the kids do it all. Yes, it was a huge mess but I needed to thoroughly clean the kitchen and mop the floors so it worked out well. (I'm working on being more patient with little kid messes. I give myself a B+ for dealing with this one and it was a big one.)
I'm learning that parenthood is not about teaching my kids but rather learning from them. I believe when the kids are grown and gone I will look back and realize they taught me far more than I ever taught them. Hence, I am trying to embrace this and just go with these little messes. Trying being the operative term.
Here are the photos:
This little one is becoming quite naughty and mischievous. Watch what she does with the flour...
Enjoying the warm, out-of-the-oven cookies...
By the way, in case anyone was hanging on the edge of their seats as I was, the washing machine is officially fixed - 3 weeks, $600, and 2 missed naps later it is humming along and the laundry pile is finally shrinking noticeably.

Yay for the laundry machine being fixed!!! 24 lbs?? My daughter was 29 lbs at her one year check up 3 months ago.
Glad you could enjoy time baking with your children. :)
Honestly those are two of the cutest kids!! I agree with you my friend, they teach us far more than we teach them. And I too am "trying" to breathe deeply and not get caught up in the irritation, because it all goes too fast!
Your kids are so photogenic!! I love all the pictures. Your kids are awesome. I want to come over and bake cookies now :)
Your kids clearly show enthusiasm for cooking based on these photos! :) Asher still just likes to cut and sprinkle... he is not so interested in the mixing part! :) I love this cookie-baking time of year!
