"Hair" You Doin'?

I really love fun school activities. This week was Red Ribbon Week at Zach's school. In addition to teaching the kids the dangers of drugs, they did some really fun activities to get the kids involved. On Monday they had the kids wear red and Tuesday was wear you favorite sport team clothes. But our favorite, by far was Wednesday, which was "wear your pajamas and come with crazy hair" day. Zach was so excited to wear his pajamas, but even more excited to do his hair crazy. Any of you who know my son, know that with his double cow-licks, his hair pretty much stands up in the back without any help. But of course this wasn't good enough for him, we had to use water and hairspray to get the all over CRAZY look. I had to keep from laughing because he looked so funny, but he was so excited. I was worried that he'd be the only one with such a crazy hairdo, but when we dropped him off, there were plenty of kids with their hair just as crazy. It was a fun day for him and he was thrilled that he was able to participate.



Check out that CRAZY hair!

Cookie Monsters!

For Family Night last night, we decided to make cookies. I got a great deal a few weeks ago on some premade cookie dough, so I went the easy route and used that. The kids have watched Nana make cookies a bunch of times and wanted to put the dough on the pans themselves. Zachary decided he wanted chocolate chip dough and Hailey chose peanut butter dough. I did one row for them and then gave them each some in a bowl and let them go to town.















They were having so much fun and I was impressed at how well they did. Hailey got a bit more help, but still did great.
















At times it was hard to decide whether they were having more fun eating the dough or putting it on the pans!















Once we got the pans done, we put one them in the oven. Did you know that if you have 2 children staring at baking cookies that they somehow cook faster? I didn't know that, but Zach was just sure that if they stared at the cookies, they would hurry up and cook.
















And you can't help but have a warm cookie out of the oven - YUMMY!















We had so much fun and we all got to enjoy some yummy cookies! My two little cookie monsters made it so much fun!
