Sydney has really been wanting to make sugar cookies. So, today was the day...the day that we made sugar cookies...the day that made me say, "What was I thinking?"
We rolled out the dough.
Sam found that it was much more exciting to just poke holes in the dough with the end of his rolling pin.
We used cookie cutters to cut out shapes...
Sam used the cookie cutters to chop his dough into tiny bits and then used his arm to sweep them off the table and onto the floor...Taco cleaned it all up!
They were fun to look through...
and fun to chew on, too!
Sydney was very serious about her job as cookie baker and was very possessive of her rolling pin.
As the last pan of cookies went into the oven, Sydney dusted the flour off of her hands and asked what we needed to do next.
Sam was in the play room, taking a break.
Time to decorate! Please note that they each frosted one cookie and then I took over the frosting duties. They were licking the knife, their fingers, the cookies...it was just one big germ fest. Sam would put his hand down for Taco to lick and then go back to cookie decorating. I broke into fits of laughter several times throughout this process...it was just sooooo gross!
Sydney deemed herself "sprinkle girl" and put sprinkles on every cookie. She made sure that there were enough sprinkles to cover all the frosting (and the table).
Sam took bites out of several cookies...licked the frosting off others...then put them back on the plate. Cookie, anyone?
If you look closely, you will see the disaster that was our table.
Sydney just finished telling me that she wasn't eating any cookies...she wasn't sure how all that frosting got on her face...or how that partial cookie got into her hand...Sam must have done it.
***BELOW ARE SOME VIDEOS OF OUR LITTLE COOKIE ADVENTURE...
I have video of them licking the knife, the sprinkle container, etc...but I figured just hearing about it was enough to gross some of you out...Enjoy!

I threw them both into the bathtub after this little project! It took me about an hour to get the mess cleaned up. But, we sure did have fun!

Jamie, this post is priceless. The video at the end cracked me up...the look on Sydney's face when Sam got her apron dirty was very cute. Even though it is so much work to have days like that, just remember that you're making wonderful memories with your kids (mess, germs, and all!)
Merry Christmas!!
