A Day To Blog

Today I felt that I needed to blog since it's been more than a week since my last posting. Well, after I blogged this morning I wanted to enjoy the day with the kiddie-kins. I was not sure what we would do but I had a trusty friend at my beck and call. What did we wined up doing?

Well, since you asked...we painted masks in the morning. Which turned out to be fun but also a bit of clean up. After the mandatory baths I hurried the kiddies off to nap. After nap and lunch, which we enjoyed with Daddy because he was working at home, we headed off to Boss's house and decorated Halloween cookies. It was a mess but it was fun. Abygail was very methodical and a work horse, she used the same method as when picking raspberries. She decorated several cookies and refrained from enjoying them until after all of her labor was finished. Jackson enjoyed decorating, then eating, and covering his body from waist to head with the cookie and decorations. After one he was done.

Tada!

The mountain of frosting cookie. It's glued to the table with frosting too. I think Abygail couldn't see where the cookie ended so she continued and frosted the table too. It was very funny :)The Cookie Monster!

It's so fun and interesting to see the differences in them. While painting the masks Abygail was satisfied to work diligently with one color until I was ready to start the next color, while Jackson was ready to jump to the next color as soon as he got one stroke of the current color on his mask. You can't tell by the final product but there are 6 different colors on those masks!!!

For your viewing pleasure - this is a horrible picture but...you can kinda see how large I'm becoming. Look Mom, It's the great pumpkin!!!
