Oh and noticed his cake pretty much as soon as he walked in the door after school. He had to put the candles on himself—immediately if not sooner. 🙂 it was especially excited because these were the cool silver candles he picked out at the dollar store.
Satisfied with his work! (He really did do a good job—spacing them out very evenly along with the Happy Birthday sign.)
I was on the phone with Tom when I walked into the kitchen and saw this:
She had dragged the chair over to the counter to do who-knows-what!
He did about three scoops and he was done. 🙂
He said we had to put out five cookies because that’s what we did last year. I asked if he was sure. He went over and pointed to the picture (on the calendar) of Christmas Eve (which is the picture of him with Santa’s cookies last year) and yep, five cookies. 🙂 I should know not to doubt his memory.
It’s about twice the amount of work because Katie wants to do everything (and can’t really do anything), she keeps putting all the utensils in her mouth, and neither one can actually stir. So it’s good it only takes about three minutes. This morning was extra fun because I forgot to pre-unwrap the chocolate candies, so Katie was having A MELTDOWN seeing all the chocolate and not being able to have any.
Unlike Owen, Katie likes helping in the kitchen!
Tasting!
Offering to share!
Then Owen heard Katie having fun so he had to come in.
