A Big Day for Maya

Honey Oatmeal Cookies

to be shared with Maya's theatre class tonight,

they've prepared a skit for the parents!

And Maya told the teacher she'd be making cookies from "scrap"

butter, sugar, brown sugar
eggs, flour, vanilla, raisins

and her favorite ingredient..honey combined with oats

make for a yummy cookie! She was distracted by the window
but kept on rolling that doughsquooshy messy fun

this kids got skills

and imagination

Arrrrgh

it's a cookie pirate
She placed them in even rows

and counted them
before I put them in the oven

..then exhaustion hit

with a touch of dramatics and with her apron still on

she takes a much needed nap for the big night ahead of her.

My little actress rested, dressed

and only a little smudge of dinner left on her mouth :o)

...smiles

and hugs from friends

They performed an excerpt from

"Gooney Bird Greene and her true life adventures" By Lois Lowry
Maya played the role of "Chelsea"

She remembered all of her lines and not a cookie was left!

A great ending to a big day
