Getting Ready for Thanksgiving

This year for our Thanksgiving Day project we are going to decorate sugar cookies and put them in cookie tins.  Then I'm going to let the girls give them to our neighbors on the weekend.  That means this week is a labor intensive cookie baking week.  Reagan and I just finished our first batch of sugar cookies.  They taste delicious, but I ruined an entire pan.  For some reason the cookies stuck.

I think Reagan really enjoyed making cookies with me.  The entire time she stood on her chair and kept asking when she could like the beaters.  She's use to me making cake.  But she helped me measure and mix and roll and cut out the cookies.  I was surprised that the project held her attention for so long.  She chatted in her very Reaganesque way about her dollies and someone named Penny.  I'm sure I will meet Penny very soon.  I wonder if it is one of her new dollies that she earned for going on the potty.

No, she's still not trained, but I've got her on a schedule so that she sits on the potty every hour.  We've only had a few accidents the last few days, but today, I wanted to see if she would remember to go on her own.  Nope.  She came running to me shouting, "Mommy, I went pee-pee on my dress!"  Oh, well.  I'll keep slogging away.
