This weekend the kids and I baked cookies. There is always an excuse for cookies. Cookies and milk. Cookies and a tall, frosty glass of milk, mmm be right back.
Later.
Anyway, we made cookies because the kids saw an activity advertised on the Disney Channel. We made a snack bag with an elephant on the front. The Muralist is into elephants in a big way. What better snack than cookies? (ok, carrot sticks, string cheese, raisins yeah, yeah) How about what funner snack than cookies? Here is a favorite in my house.
