Maddie got to bake cookies with Mommy again today. And she made my favorite - raisin bran! (That's what she calls oatmeal raisin.)


When Maddie mixes flour, a good amount ends up on the floor and on Harley.

10.09.11 - Raisin Bran cookies

Angie offered to bake cookies with Maddie tonight. They were going to bake chocolate chip until I whispered in Maddie's ear that oatmeal raisin is my favorite kind of cookie. She then proclaimed to Angie that they were going to make "raisin bran" cookies. Well, I do like raisin bran, too.


Finally, I've convinced a girl to make me oatmeal raisin cookies and I couldn't be happier! Although something tells me Maddie would enjoy making any kind of cookie so long as she gets to help with the cleanup!

02.13.11 - Valentine cookies

In honor of Valentine's Day, Maddie spent the afternoon decorating some heart-shaped sugar cookies that Angie made.


Of course you gotta eat 'em! Perhaps we let her have one too many cookies!


She's a big fan of the icing!


In fact, she tried to get all the icing off this one before putting a single M&M in the middle.


Maddie, will you be my Valentine?!!
