Oh how I wish I were in the second grade right now! Madelyn's class is working on their "how to" projects and presentations and I just saw the list of what they will be teaching each other...oh the things I could learn! There will be lots of different cooking, (if you know anything about us it won't surprise you to know that Miss M picked chocolate chip cookies), origami, palm reading, apple dolls, and the one I need, how to change the oil in your car! I may just have to go sit in for the presentation days...I am intrigued and impressed! Anyway, the kiddos are making posters detailing the steps in their project and they had the option to draw or use photos...hmmm, I smell a project for me too! Here's some of what we came up with....
Step 1: Wash your hands.
Step 3: Cream the butter.
Step 3: Add sugar, brown sugar, salt, & vanilla.
Step 4: Add eggs and baking soda.
Step 5: Add flour and remember to mix SLOWLY....we did have quite the excitement with one of our trial batches with regards to high speed mixing and exploding flour...you'll have to use your imagination as I stopped shooting to leap over and turn off the mixer.....
Step 6: Add the best part, the chocolate chips.
Step 7: Scoop batter onto cookie sheets.
Step 8: Bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown.
Step 9: Finally, enjoy!!
If you weren't hungry for cookies before, I bet you are now...and guess what?? She makes the best chocolate chip cookies ever and we are on batch #6 in the last 3 weeks, so please come over and help me eat them before I can't wear any of my pants! Happy Friday and be sure to check back next week for a few newborns and a bunch of one year olds!
Oh my goodness, I am SO dying for a cookie now.

I am also dying for a cookie. AND I'm jealous of Miss M's gorgeous little hands and nails. Very delicate and pretty!
