Today's play date we decided to decorate some gingerbread men, ladies and teddies. After pre-cooking the cookies so they were nice and cool to work with for the kids, the batches of brightly coloured icing were mixed up and put into little tubes for the kids to squish out onto the awaiting ginger cut outs.
Here is Sophie quality controlling the cookies and icing, she cant wait to be involved and creating a sweet mess. Much squiding and squishing got all the cookies covered in pretty colours and surprisingly none of the cookies were eaten in the process of creation, and i don't think they actually knew what they were decorating. Sophia who is 18mths here in the blue dress could take on Jane Asher with her skilful control of culinary decoration.
William took to design with flair and was defiantly in control on what this season colour palate should be. Sophie had a blast but soon worked out that the squishy stuff was in fact a sweet and tasty treat. Nothing gets past her, what a smart cookie excuse the pun, soon that licky tongue was out clearing up any dripped icing that didn't make it onto a ginger teddy.
William was Evil Knievel racing on his super fast motorbike
Sophia was Calamity Jane the fastest tooting horse riding woman of the west
Sophie was King Kong astride her tower
With much running about to be had by the kids, the mummies took a cup of tea and a relax on the lawn
Soon the kids stopped playing and gathered by the chairs to have a quick chat as Sophie spread the word that what she had tasted earlier was sweet and that she suspected that had been painting cookies. The kids decided that they were on strike till cookies had been handed out, after all they did create them.
GIVE US THE COOKIES!!
With the mummies scared at this organised bunch and that there could be an uprising of toddlers they finally gave in and handed out the much coveted treats and everyone was happy again.
