Cookies and a Pirate

I don't have much to say today, but I will post a couple of pics.  I already had these up on photobucket and since it takes about 20 min to upload photos, I might as well use them.

We made maple leaf cut out cookies.  I think it was on recipezaar.com.  The kids always enjoy making cut out cookies and I don't, but I let them do it once or twice a year because I remember how much fun it was as a kid.  Now that I am the grown up, I have to deal with rolling the dough - which is my least favorite part - and of course, the clean up.  Lots of little sprinkles all over...  yuck. 

B was walking around with a bandana, so I turned him into a pirate.  He was a pirate with a sullen attitude.  He likes drama.    But isn't he adorable?

My next post will be a little more exciting.  Or creepy....

And boy, do I remember how much FUN it was to make cut-out cookies. You hit the nail on the head, with that one. But it's good to pass along those good memories. One day, when they're adults, you'll have a whole new level to bond on, as they put an arm around you and say, "Wow. Thanks for letting us do that. It's not so much fun when you're the grown up!" ;-)

About Me

Oh, the crazy things that happen in my house.... I am the wife of M for 8 1/2 years now. I am the mother of a 10 yo boy - D, 6 1/2 yo boy - N, 4 yo girl - Princess C, 2 1/2 yo boy -Toddler B, and girl Lil' L 1, and a new little blessing due Jan 31. I've been homeschooling since 2003. I lean towards a Charlotte Mason approach, but more often than not, it's "whatever works".
