*COOKIES*

I didn't have any errands to run while Gavin was at school so I decided it was going to be a stay-at-home day with Liam. I asked him what he wanted to do with mommy & he shouted, "Make cookies!". So that's what we did. I have to say, that this boy is kind of obsessed. We tease that he is the 'real' cookie monster. Haha! (JT & Jimmy video clip) But really though, I think Liam would eat cookies 24/7 if we let him.

 So that really cool vintage looking measuring cup in the front is just that. Really cool. It was my moms & I remember using it as a child while helping my mom bake cookies & all sorts of things. My mom was always really good at letting me help in the kitchen. Having this little measuring cup now in my possession brings lots of happiness to me. I know that sounds lame, but it's true. I'll always have a smile on my face while using it and teaching my children how to bake. :)

 Watching it all mix together is "so cool Mom".  And the best part of making cookies is...

 Tasting the dough! Mmmmmhhhhmmmm good!

 When I put my apron on he wanted to wear one too. He is so stinking cute it kills me.

Yes, we did manage to actually bake some to share with brother & Dad when they get home. I love spending one on one time with my boys. It doesn't happen nearly enough & that's something I need to work harder on doing. But I'll relish in the moments I do get/make & hold them dear to my heart.
