Well, another rainy, drizzly day in cold England has passed, but we try to make the most of it. So today was "Cutout Cookie Day". As you can see, the kids were excited as always ... for the decorating of one cookie. As the story was told to me, they each decorated one cookie, ate it quickly, and then went away to play "Mommy and Baby". Which left Ness all alone to make all the others. I doubt she minded actually.
Here's Ava overly excited. But it is still true that she would rather clean and detail the muddy cars than bake cookies.
Here's Eli eating cookie number one. It took quite an effort to keep him from eating cookie number two. And it is still true that he would rather bake and eat cookies with Mommy than help Daddy clean and detail the cars.
What an amazing effort. I still don't know how she does it, but we needed to use the last of the icing from all three colors to decorate the last cookie. Now that's talent folks.
Another little story about our darling Ava. At times she is so smart. She reminded me that her dress says New York - which is the state in which I was born. (I think I told her that once about 16 months ago.) And she let us know that monkeys like Boots (Dora reference) can pick things up because they have "a-poisonous" thumbs. And Ness and I think "This girl is going to be a doctor or scientist after going to Harvard or Yale." And then she does this.

Oh, I know. We can't decide which is more frustrating: downright disobedience or just plain stupidity.
