I love Fridays!  Friday mornings we just have a few things to do for school and finish anything left from the week, do our daily chores and then we do FUN things!  It always seems to be a very relaxing day to just enjoy being together.  This past Friday I thought it would be fun to bake some Pumpkin Cutout Cookies.  The girls are always up for baking cookies, so bake we did.   With baking comes a mess, and mess we did make.

Tatum the messy.

Lauren the messy.

Chloe the Queen of Clean.

When we were making the cookies I thought "this will be so much fun, not like when I usually make cutout cookies and then regret it immensely because of the mess and having to ice all of those cookies.  This time will be different!"

-

After we had cutout and baked and cleaned up and then I saw all of these cookies to ice, I must admit the familiar dread of icing set in.  But I reminded my procrastinating self, the best thing to do when I don't feel like doing something is to DO IT!  So I set everything up for the girls to "paint" their cookies.

And paint they did.

Later Teetee called and said that she was going to come over to visit us, so I asked the girls if they would like to plan a surprise Tea Party for Teetee since Daddy had to work late.  They had fund setting up the tea and planning a surprise for her.  They asked me probably 20 times "When is Teetee coming?"  But she came and we had our ladies tea with our freshly baked pumpkin cookies.

Praying for the food.  Angelic aren't they? :-)  I'm not sure why they folded their hands like that.. I guess they thought it was 'proper'.-

All the ladies at the tea..  Mom, Chloe, Tatum, Me, Lauren.
