Cookie baking

Well the girls have been busy little bees baking cookies for the last few days. There are no less than 2000 cookies in my house and I have successfully consumed about 2oo of them. The diet is officially off at least through Sunday. I really should video tape the entire process of cookie baking because it is quite the sight to behold. There are arguments, disagreements and LOTS of spontaneous singing. I'll give you a little taste of how this works.

A few moments ago, Caitlin showed me her undressed gingerbread man that she cooked earlier but expressed her concern about actually tasting it because of the unsureness of the flavor. I unselfishly volunteered to taste the gingerbread man and after I gave it a big thumbs up, Caitlin decided to give it a go and after the bite began singing, "It's raining men, hallelujah!" See what I mean?

And also it is official Caitlin knows no real words to any songs. She makes them all up. Earlier today she was singing Deck the Halls and her version was, Dawn we now our day apparel. Other songs sung tonight....lots of Umbrella.....ella....ella....but they made no umbrella cookies and "Do you remember the 21st night of September." But it was not sung like that. Also....Here comes Peter Cottontail.....don't ask me. Even Olivia was humming and singing some tunes.

As you can see, the cookies are adorable and I can attest to the fact that they are delicious! There are plenty for anyone that would like to have one or many. And I will be sure to save Carrie a gingerbread man since she loves them so.


Our movie of choice for tonight playing at this moment is Desk Set. Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn are quite wonderful. It is another delightful favorite. It makes me want to eat fried chicken and floating island. And their lunch on the rooftop with all the questions he asks is the best. Also the Mexington Avenue bus.....

Emma just stated that tomorrow.....or now today is Christmas Adam and then comes Christmas Eve. All presents accounted for are wrapped and under the tree. There are still 4 yet to arrive. Yikes! Lord get them here please! Merry Christmas to all.
