My Funny Valentine

Thursday was my day with Libby to celebrate Valentine's Day! She decided she wanted to make cookies and brownies. She loves to cook. But even more, she loves to lick the spoon and bowl of brownie batter after we're finished! I had all the valentine's cookie cutters picked out for her to use, but she didn't just want to do hearts...she made an "L" for Libby, a dog bone, a dog, an airplane, a foot, a pumpkin, and a few flowers! And of course, the cookies had to have sprinkles, because what is the point of a cookie if it doesn't have sprinkles?!

Here is Martha Jr. adding sprinkles to her masterpieces!

Here is Libby earlier in the day cooperating with the Mama so I can take her picture!

Here is Libby with her cookies after they came out of the oven.

Please excuse the mouthful of cookie in her mouth!


Now it's brownie time and I must have met my quota of pictures,
because this is where she starts avoiding the camera!
Just look at her face! She knows exactly what she's doing!


Now it's time for her to hide! She thinks she's so slick!
But she doesn't know...

...You can't hide from the Mama!

Libby decided she would let me take a picture of her with her Valentine's Brownies. But she did have to throw in this goofy look on her face as payback!

Ah finally! It's time to lick the bowl clean! This is what

cooking is all about!

MMMmmm...

There is nothing better than chocolate!

I just love the way Libby sits criss-cross-applesauce (that's what they call it at school) on top of the counter with her bowl of brownie batter!
