Cookie decorating with Eitan

Now that it gets dark so early and the weather is not outdoor friendly all the time (though some days are incredibly beautiful and warm!) we are trying to be creative with fun indoor activities and have friends over as much as possible. This is tough since most of Alex's friends are in school in the mornings and Alex is in school in the afternoons. We try to keep activities to a minimum so Alex won't be too tired for school, though we're thinking maybe we should have a LOT of morning activities and a nap at 1030 or something like that. Poor Rory doesn't get out that much with Alex's schedule and her nap schedule. She revels in her time out and about and REFUSES to miss any of it- she keeps her eyes open and looks around - determined not to nap whenever we are out of the house. She also LOVES to play with other kids- she gets so excited when she sees other kids she starts bouncing up and down and clapping.

Eitan loved to put sugar sprinkles on the cookies

Beautiful fall cookies
