Bakers...

So a day or two before Valentine's Day, after the boys had finished their classes for the day (and before their friends got home from school) I decided to do a mini lesson on fractions and following step-by-step instructions, by way of making Valentine's Day cookies...Okay, scratch that. Let me be honest. I really just had a hankering for some nummy homemade cookies. Any lessons in fractions and instruction-following were purely bonus...

 My kidlets really did do almost all of the recipe themselves, with minor help from me doing a bit of mixing the dough, and initially helping them start rolling it out. We started off with our Valentine's theme of heart-shaped cookies, but midway through the boys got bored and pulled out doggie bone and star-shaped cookie cutters. Sometimes we just have to go with the flow around here, ya know? :)

Anyway, the cookies were the best - I have some good little bakers here at home with me! :)
