Spider Legs and Cookie Cutters

Today we made sugar cookies. After breakfast, I put on my apple apron that my Gramma made for me, and the girl and I went to work mixing. She sat on the counter and stirred each time I added something to the bowl. The dough chilled in the fridge while I put Hyrum down for his nap. Then I came back down and we got ready to roll and cut the dough. When I dumped my cutters out of the Ziploc, out came two furry dried up spider legs. Talk about getting the heebeegeebies. All I could do was wonder what happened to the rest of the spider and it's other six legs. I was totally grossed out (ask Mr. Stannix who was studying at the table). I grabbed some paper towel and cleaned them up. Then Camilla and I went on sorting through the cookie cutters to take out the Christmas ones. In the middle of the heart shaped cutter, much to my surprise, I came across the rest of the spider and the six furry missing legs. It totally sent chills up my spine. Good thing it was dead...

As Camilla and I stamped stars and gingerbread men out of the cookie dough, Hyrum sat in the laundry basket. I think I did about 145700 loads of laundry today. As soon as the first pan of cookies went into the oven, Daddy was already ahead of the game and had the timer set on his fancy new phone. We watched the cookies as they baked and Camilla was quick to the table when I was putting them on the cooling rack. I turned around to cut some more shapes and I heard, "Uh oh, I broke his arm". I turned around to a gingerbread man broken on the table. I guess she couldn't wait for them to cool. After what seemed like her 123534th cookie, she climbed into the basket next to her little brother. They played in there until I was done with the cookies. It was super cute. Out of all of us, Camilla gets the best belly laughs out of Mr. Hyrum.

Anyways, I am back to hat making. Three down, three to go. Pictures to come!
