It started out innocent enough...Cookies, frosting and sprinkles. Fun huh! As you can see, Monkey managed to get one cookie frosted before the tasting and finger licking began.
Now Ms. Kitten got wayyyy further along in the process before she began the finger licking. She is older and although the finger licking is fun, she had more fun with the sprinkles......
Cookie number two........already been licked once....notice her face....
Messy fingers......
Another cookie, more finger licking fun! (reallly she didn't eat frosting as much as lick her fingers)
Look at that face!!!!!
Now Ms. Kitten began to really, really get into the whole process.....
Sprinkles and sprinkles.....
...and sprinkles......
...and sprinkles!!!!!!!!
The cute part was that they helped clean up without being asked. Ms. Kitten rinsed all the dishes for me to put in the dishwasher. Look at the bottom left, you can see Monkey's arm reaching up. She found a sponge and was "cleaning" the sprinkles off of the table.
When I took them home, both girls were asleep before I was a mile down the road. I honestly could have slept myself! This day made me understand the concept of a grandparent. Things I would have never let my kids get away with.....using 3 bottles of sprinkles on 24 cookies.... didn't bother me in the least. But, it also made me realize that sheeeesh! I am soooo glad I had my kids when I did. I don't think I have the ooomph to keep up with them!

Beautiful children, beautiful post, and well-sprinkled cookies. You are right - 3 bottles of sprinkles are just right for grandkids!
