Today the girls and I made cookies, lots of cookies. We made gingerbread and sugar dough for roll out cookies that we will make tomorrow, we also made chocolate chip cookies and sand tarts (or Mexican wedding cookies depending on where you are from). Yesterday we made sweet chex mix and savory chex mix. The holiday spirit is in full effect at the Haslups.
Today as we were making the cookies Lela and Piper were helping me roll the sand tarts and put them on the tray. When we finished our tray was overflowing so I explained that we had to put some on another tray so they would cook evenly. You would think I had announced Armageddon. Lela was in tears at the thought of splitting the cookies on to two trays. I put on my best parenting hat and tried to understand why it was so upsetting, I explained why we had to do it with graphics and all. She was still upset, finally a little cuddling helped her to calm down. For the life of me I don’t think I will ever understand her.
So instead of trying to understand I think I will hop her up on sugar, LOL. As if that was possible. Lela will take one bite of something sweet and move on while Piper will literally lick dough off the floors!
