Cookie Time

My boys love chocolate chip cookies! And Alex especially likes to "help" to make them by stirring and dumping ingredients into the mixer. Sam, on the other hand, is a bit scared of the sound the mixer makes and flees the room during that part. He is, however, very willing to take part in the consuming of the final product! The other day we made cookies and I finally got Alex to taste the cookie dough--go figure, mom was right, it is delicious!! And both boys discovered the joy of watching the cookies in the oven...only thing is that now when the oven timer goes off, Alex runs the the kitchen yelling "cookies, cookies!" and is slightly dejected to find pork chops or enchilada bake in there instead!!
"Mmmm-mmmm! It's Good!"  (and that's a direct quote!)

This is Sam's happiness that the mixer was turned off.

Waiting more patiently than he does for really anything else.  

Proof of enjoyment--right there on his upper lip!

This is a two-handed job!

Savor it...

Ok, guys, this is the last one...I mean it!!
