Photo Story Friday: With Frosting on the Top!

Hosted by Cecily and MamaGeek

Javin is all about making things with his play dough lately. The first thing he want to do when he gets up is make things. On wednesday we went over to Auntie M's house to play, which meant we didn't have his dough to play with. I had to improvise a bit. We decided to go for a walk to the bank, and on the way home we stopped at the grocery store and found the already made sugar cookie dough (I know I am a big cheater head) and some Halloween cutters. When we got home we made the cookies. Javin and Shaylee loved the whole cutter idea, bats, cats, ghosts and pumpkins. They just couldn't get enough of making the shapes and were so bummed when all of the dough was gone.
Soon enough the cookies were cooled off, the frosting was made and we had the kids all prepped for the climax, the decorating. At first Shaylee didn't see the fun in spreading the gooey stuff all over a perfectly good cookie, then she put the butter knife in her mouth and was sold...on the frosting any way. Javin was all about the decorating and made two just for his Daddy.




This is the first time either of them have and the joy of playing with frosting, and I am sure it won't be the last! What a blast to be able to watch Javin learn and grow. Alas, Orissa is just too small to make cookies...That however, didn't stop her from grabbing my cookie and licking the frosting (too bad I didn't get a snapshot of that, way cute!).
