Cookie Monster's Birthday

For Cookie Monster's Birthday (it is actually celebrated twice, once in November when the actual birthday is and once in May...don't ask me why). I decided to make Cookie Monster pancakes. All I really needed was the above ingredients. I let each of the boys make their own "abstract" version of Cookie Monster.

You can't really tell in these pictures that the pancakes were blue. This is my rendition of Cookie Monster. It is REALLY abstract, doesn't look like him at all. The idea of it was fun though.

The kids thought it was so fun.

And delicious.

We also put syrup on them. Yes it was a major sugar overload.

After Palmer got home from school I gave them some coloring pages to color while I made dinner.

Hunter doesn't last too long with coloring pages.

Didn't they do a great job?

They really take their coloring seriously.

I decided to make Cookie Monster cupcakes for dessert. I didn't want to go to the store so I just used what I had. I have some good ideas for the next time we celebrate this holiday. This is another abstract version of Cookie Monster, but hey it tastes good right?

I actually thought they turned out so cute. I just made Buttercream Frosting and wiggled the frosting all over the cupcake, you can really use any frosting tip to make fur I think. The rest is chocolate chips and marshmallows. I got the chocolate chips to stick to the eyes using a dab of frosting.

One happy customer.

Delicious.

The kids get so excited when I tell them that we are going to celebrate this or that on a certain day. They have started coming up with their own "days." They other day Lincoln came up to me and said "Mom, today is Wii day. We just play the Wii all day long." It didn't happen :)

Oh what will I do when these sweet boys don't want to celebrate silly things like Cookie Monster's Birthday with me any more...I will cry that is what.
