cookies 'n cousins

So Amy and I made pumpkin cookies today.
(this is an October must for Hendrix girls)
(note: London did have frosting on her cookie when I gave it to her)

The kids enjoyed the cookies, but time flew and all of a sudden, we realized it was 2:00 and the kids hadn't eaten. Amy had made a quick grocery run before coming over and bought a store-cooked chicken. We had picked at it a little and the kids asked for some. In our laziness - I mean busyness in frosting cookies - and wanting our kids to have a fun barbarian experience (Nate would have loved this), we let them go at it finger-style.

Warning: vegetarians and freaky sanitary people (like myself) may want to skip these pictures

Warning: I would NOT recommend letting your children do this - I didn't think about the grease factor and had to wash them all off with the hose. But all in all, I think they had a blast being barbarians! The pictures tell it all. . .

More cousins pictures coming up tomorrow!

Wow, I love barbarians and these kids are the best. I love moms that can actually let kids do their own thing. I guess that means that I love you and Amy! and think you are great moms.

Those cookies turned out cute. And those meat pictures are disturbing in a fun way.

I am not even that daring with a chicken! I bet they loved it!
