Decorating Cookies!

Hogan's friend Emory invited us over to decorate cookies today. Her mom- Mary Beth posted pics and wrote a list of funny guidelines that everyone should refer to when decorating cookies with preschoolers. Check it out: http://sweetsong-sweetestsong.blogspot.com/2009/12/pre-schoolers-guide-to-awesome-cookies.html

Now for my list of the top 5 comments made by mothers while their children are cookie decorating:

1. "Aaaaaa! Don't put that spoon in your mouth!" (This said while frantically trying to grab the spoon before it gets put back into the frosting bowl)

2. "You need to put frosting on before you pour the whole bottle of sprinkles on the cookie. The frosting will make it stick."

3. "I guess it's okay if they mix all the colors....right?"

4. "Why didn't the sprinkle people put a darn shaker lid on these chocolate sprinkles?"

5. "Why don't you try making a candy cane or an angel? I think we have enough Christmas cats." (there was one Halloween cookie cutter in the mix and of course it got used a lot!)

Thanks Mary Beth and Emory for the fun morning!
