cookies!






we made cookies, and it was the longest, messiest, most involved project!
we started on tuesday (we got the revelation to make them too late and the dough did not have enough time to chill).
then due to a busy schedule, we didn't get to actually making them until last night. not only was it messy, but joss was in a mood. fun fun.
anyway, they turned out quite yummy.
this is the first time i have made sugar cookies and cut them out and iced them....all from scratch. not too bad....but i know what to do differently next time. (including speaking grace, grace over myself as i do it!)

random

this is going to be a somewhat random post.
yesterday, we watched micah and joss did not know how to properly channel her excitement and was trying to body slam him :) we watched jossy have her snack



you may (or may not) be wondering where alexa is in these pics. well yesterday i took her to her first day of 'school'. while pregnant with joss i was looking for some kind of program to put alexa in so i could have some time blah, blah...but instead we chose to have sara come (which was a great choice). i am finding that i still would like some of that time! and alexa, being the social kid that she is, needs some stimulation. we thought it would be great for her. so, she goes to the y 2 mornings a week for a few hours. so i took her yesterday and she did great. i hung out for about an hour and she seemed comfortable so i left. the teachers said she did great and had a great time.
then in the afternoon i had decided that i wanted something chocolate...and since i don't make box cakes anymore i decided to make some black bottom cupcakes....this is dedicated to you aunt cheryl. only a few minutes after i had started BOTH kids woke up. we are now in the process of transitioning jossy to 1 nap. i kept them occupied with cupcake liners. it actually worked. so, thanks to priscilla and andre (and possibly anne) i only have a few of them to enjoy for myself.




then i was off to a meeting. as you can see the lip has healed nicely. thanks anne for babysitting...
