Baking moon rocks

When I signed up to bring in snack for Christopher's class tomorrow, I didn't realize that it would be the day they would celebrate his half birthday. I'm glad they do this for those poor summer birthday kids and you can bet that Chris is just as happy! He may be more excited for this than his actual birthday. Anyway, we have a kids cookbook that has a recipe for "moon rocks" in it (really just cookies!) so that is what we made today. Here is the chef with his makeshift apron...

The fun thing about a kids cookbook is that they instruct you to mix things with your hands! Here is Chris digging in...

Finally after baking and cooling, our moon rocks are ready for school! Some of Christopher's friends from other classes will be receiving some as well.
