I am not a big fan of cold weather so today called for some inside activities! The kids started off with a little painting project. Mia had some ceramic animals to paint and Max had a wooden alligator.
Everything came out great and there was minimal paint to floor ratio when we were finished!
Next: A little inspiration from this bag of chocolate chips!Dark Chocolate Chip Mint Cookies!
Max has been helping me in the kitchen for a while but I have only recently let Mia really help. Her first few attempts resulted in a kitchen covered in brown sugar, but she is doing really well now. I put ingredients in a little bowl and she pours it into the mixer.
The board of taste testers approve!
We have a great cookie, all ready for Max's school party tomorrow!Recipe:
