"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

Master Chef

Anyone who's anyone knows that the above title could not possibly be referring to me.

Nope. The chef's below:


Today's project? Sugar cookies. And no, that is not an apron. That is a princess dress, my friend. After all, only princesses can make PINK sugar cookies covered with SPRINKLES, like the one pictured below.


E was completely responsible for frosting and sprinkling... which meant the plate got to join in the fun too! (Yes, I promise there are cookies in there somewhere.)


M was not such a fan of today's activities. While she did enjoy watching the mixer turn, she mostly found it irritating that Mom was either stirring, washing, sweeping, or opening up the stove. Daddy caught a smile from her on the floor when he got home.

I would still eat those cookies. I love cookies too much to pass them up, even if they were made by a 4 year old!
