How I did it
How to host a cookie decorating party for a horde of four year olds
It took me
4 weeks
It made me

How I did it: We had to postpone due to illness, but I used an article at www.thingamababy.com/baby/2007/12/cookieparty.html  for many general tips, and got a few suggestions from 43things folks and coworkers who throw parties like this every year.  I made a double batch of cookie dough (too much) and a double batch of frosting (too much), and had lots of candies, colored sugar, and sprinkles to add.

Nice surprise 4 days ago

The am writing is not likely to work. I sat down to get my place in the piece and I can hear the kids waking up. Ah well.

I’m going to learn a lot this month. Wish it didn’t hurt so much to learn new skills.

Day 3 4 days ago
