while danny, ellie and henry took a nap after church, abbey and i made cookies!
since we never know how long henry will sleep, i thought we'd make cake mix cookies. there's only three ingredients so they go together fast. and you don't really have to measure anything, so there's only a bowl and a spoon to wash. perfect.
i pre-broke the eegs and beat them in a disposable cup so that abbey would be able to dump all the ingredients in without any help. she mixed a lot on her own, but i helped her a little toward the end (the crisco makes the dough pretty stiff).
she loved rolling the dough into balls, she said it was like chocolate play dough. she got extra excited when she found out we were rolling her balls in powdered sugar. abbey's a big fan of sugar.
being the mean mom that i am, i made her help me clean up the kitchen while the cookies baked. i told her it was part of the fun of baking, and since she's only 4, she believed me. abbey washed off the counter while i washed the dishes.
the cookies turned out great, nice and chewy, and abigail was so proud of herself! we both ate 3 (!) with a big glass of milk. i miss having abbey be a baby, and it makes me sad that she's growing up so fast, but i really enjoy all the new activities that we're able to do together now that she's a "big girl".
