smart girl

I made sugar cookies for a pregnant friend's birthday at work. She's been talking about them for a couple weeks, so I figured I would make them since she can't have a beer on her birthday. It's hard to know what to make in the summer. I ended up with tulips and butterflies. Figured that was okay for August. I have to say I don't ever recall having sugar cookies in August. Never even asked for them at my birthday. We always just had them when it was cold. Probably because that's when it wasn't too hot to have the oven on! Anyway. . . to my story and reason for blogging. In the car on the way home on Friday, I told Becky I thought I was going to make sugar cookies this weekend and asked her if she wanted to help me. She thought for a minute, and then she said, "No. You can make them yourself. I'll just eat them." Oh, she is a girl after her mom's heart. I started laughing so hard. I couldn't believe she came up with that all by herself. So . . . here are a few pics of Becky eating a sugar cookie before she headed up to bed. As you can see . . . she was very excited. She even was a little bummed she didn't get to help. I think by the time today rolled around, she had forgotten what she had told me. She sure enjoyed eating it anyway!

"sugar cookies!"

Yes. The rag is for her to wipe her fingers on so she doesn't get all covered in frosting. And she's the neat one . . . she asked for a rag so she could wipe her fingers. That's not to say she didn't lick them clean too!
