Green Sticker Reward!!

Ever day Mattie comes home from school I check her folder for what her homework assignment is for that day and to see what color behavior sticker she got for the day. Green is Great! Yellow is Good. Red is BAD! Mattie has NEVER received a red. Anyways she came home the other day and she had received a green sticker! Yahoo!! I was so excited and I wanted to make sure to point out to her how proud mommy and daddy are that she got a green sticker. We want to really draw great attention to wonderful behavior. So I told her that because she received a green sticker in class that day we were going to make homemade chocolate chip cookies. Needless to say she was very excited.

Of course this is always an interesting endeavor with 2 little girls and a very pregnant mommy but we had fun!

At one point in the process of making these yummy cookies I realized my brown sugar was hard as a rock so my loving husband went out in the smoldering heat and got us some fresh brown sugar so we could finish making cookies. I checked to make sure we had all the other ingredients before he left. So daddy returns we add our brown sugar and 2 more ingredients when I go to get the eggs out of the fridge. (The only time I didn't check to see if we had because we ALWAYS have eggs). NO EGGS! Once again my loving husband goes to the store and gets us eggs. First we even went to see if we could just borrow some from the neighbor but of course they weren't home.

So we eventually go ALL the ingredients into the same bowl and we started cooking our reward. They turned out delicious! You forget how much you love homemade cookies when you have been buying the bulk Costco brand of pre-made cookie dough because it is so much easier. :)

Both the girls had a great time putting different ingredients in the bowl and then watching at how it all came together to make something so yummy! What a fun memory!! I love you girls! Also on a side note 2 days later Mattie came home with another GREEN sticker and she was so excited to tell me when she got home from school. I love how much she loves school!
Oh yeah and this is how Mattie ended up by the end of this cooking session! She is just so dang cute! Thanks Aunt Krista for the adorable apron!
