making cookies WITH SPRINKLES...1.26

for some unknown reason, my big kids got it in their heads that they wanted to make cookies WITH SPRINKLES for their g.g. and papa and "unka" andy...so, one day when everyone was in a good mood, mommy broke out the messy sprinkles and let them have at it...of course with the camera close at hand... sarah was very exact and detailed in her sprinkle distribution...i had to encourage her to put more sprinkles on each cookie...
drew, on the other hand, put a mound of sprinkles on each cookie...no rhyme or reason to it...
little jacob looking on...wondering why his brother and sister are soooo happy!!!
once his view in the bouncer got old, he moved to the swing for a little variety...
while mommy was moving jacob to the swing, drew got a little over zealous with his sprinkle eating...i knew the kids were gonna sample the goods (a rarity), but i didn't really expect drew to shove a handful of sprinkles in his mouth all at once...i should have known drew would come up with a "good idea"--(he must say a million times a day, "mommy, i have a good idea...")
we made sugar cookies with icing and sprinkles for g.g. and papa's and uncle andy's care packages. sarah also wrote a note and made a picture for each package. i was spelling out the words for her to write, "i love you uncle andy" and, when she was about 2/3rds of the way through writing all that, she said, "mom, uncle andy has a LONG name!"
i don't know how well iced cookies fair with the usps, but i guess its the thought that counts!

I really like the princess decorating the cookies!! Drew's way of decorating is just like my jacob's way! just pour on a bunch on each cookie!!
