Fun With Marshmallows

Kelsey and I made cookies today after nap (Colin was snoozing), as we are participating in a cookie exchange tomorrow with some of our MOMS Club friends. After days of debating on what kind of cookies to make, I finally settled on s'mores thumbprint cookies.

A little bit of a back story real quick...

Kelsey and I were sitting in Great Clips a few weeks ago, waiting on Daddy to get his haircut, and this little boy showed Kelsey a magic trick. She's been obsessed with repeating this magic trick ever since. The boy "huffed" on a quarter and then stuck it to his forehead, telling Kelsey that his quarter was magical!

Anyhow, when my sister and I were young, we used to lick marshmallows and stick them to our faces. This afternoon I told Kelsey we had MAGIC marshmallows and we stuck them to our faces. Here are her results!

She was afraid to let her hands down, she didn't want them to fall off!
Look what I can do!
Cheese!
At this point, she was gritting her teeth and could not move a muscle.

This picture also reminds me of Greg and I as little kids. We each had Austrailian Shepard (a breed of dog) growing up. We each would get our dogs to balance treats on their noses until we told them they could eat it by flipping it into the air. It's sad that I'm sort of comparing my child to my childhood dog!
While I was cleaning up our dirty baking dishes, Kelsey asked for a washcloth to clean up her face, which was covered with chocolate. I got busy doing something else (imagine that!) and could hear her singing a song while she was scrubbing on the floor. Apparently we let her watch "Cinderella" a bit too much...she was singing "ooooh sweet nightingale..." Then she came into the living room and said "Momma, that dammit cat got my floor all dirty! She got her feets in my dust pan and made the floor all dirty!"
