Today is…Tuesday Dec 14 2010
We prayed.
We did our Morning Message on a couple of little chalkboards, since sharing the larger one was resulting in…disagreements.
“cookez” [cookies] “tuoos/daY” [Tuesday]
Galoot held our Gospel Picture. I may have to let him go as Gospel Picture holder, though.
Then we made some gingerbread cookie dough.
We worked on fractions: how many quarter cups and 1/3 cups fit in one cup? We found out:
(4 1/4cups and 3 1/3 cups, just so you know)
We smelled our spices:
Mommy broke her whisk attachment. Crud.
I know, I know, you shouldn’t mix cookie dough with a whisk attachment. But it never broke before!
After I added a whole lot more butter to a reduced fat Gingerbread cookie recipe, the dough finally came together:
While the dough chilled, we made paper wreaths with a friend:
Which quickly became hats,
…and frisbees,
…and masks.
Our dough was ready, and the boys rolled it out and cut out a variety of shapes. I think “BOO” was my favourite 😉 :
The cookies were a hit.
They ate them all.
I wasn’t surprised.
