First, the boys received some Easter themed candy molds from their Grandma, along with a couple of bags of melting chocolate, so we made some chocolate candies & lollipops. They had fun dripping the chocolate into the molds. Quincy overfilled each and every mold he did; Miles underfilled each one.
But the one thing they did have in common was licking and eating the drips. The chocolate set fast, so they were working hard to scrap it off the table, at one point Miles got creative and tried licking it off the table.
Next up was making Easter cookies. They had a friend over who made the cookies with them, and just me for adult help. Two 2 1/2 year olds and one 5 year old meant lots of hands on supervision and no pictures of the cookie dough rolling and cutout process. One kept trying to eat the cookie dough, another kept trying to eat the cookie cutters and the third didn't ever think we had enough flour on the table surface. I sounded a bit like a recording: "don't eat the dough, get that out of your mouth, no we don't need anymore flour!"
I was able to snap a few pictures of them decorating the cookies, only during the first cookie, so you can see how clean the table still is. As you can imagine, it got worse.
We still have eggs to dye, but that will happen just a day or two before Easter Sunday. For now, we'll enjoy our treats.
