I was so excited Thursday to hear that school had been canceled on Friday because of the snow. We got to spend the day making cookies. This is something I like to do with the kids at least once or twice a year. Each kid gets to pick out what kind of cookies they want to make and then they each take a turn making the dough and rolling it into balls. Then we freeze it and I have a bunch of cookie dough ready to be baked whenever we feel the need for cookies. We have a freezer full of chocolate chip, oatmeal chocolate chip, chocolate white chocolate chip, and ginger snap cookies.
We also baked a few! Yummy!!
I also let the kids each paint something while they were waiting. Here are a few pictures of the creations they made. Emily is making paper mache' beads, this is a two day process so we don't have pictures yet.
You can see the cookie mess in the background, but it really cleans up pretty fast.
It seems silly to me that they cancel school for snow, but it sure is fun to have the kids home for a day!

Wasn't it fun to have a day to play?
Those cookies sound yummy, and I love that you said they were for whenever you feel the "need" for some cookies!
The projects turned out cute, too.
