Smart Kids...

When Momma's away...

the kids will...

make large frosting covered cookies!


Then, they will eat all of the evidence before mom gets home!

Smart kids!

mmmm...

White Chocolate Chip Cherry Chunkies....(secret recipe)

yummmmmm.....
Zucchini Bread...

Oh Yeah...White chocolate chip cookies

snickerdoodles

...just one blessing of the season!

Cookie making day...

Almost everyone got in on the action today.

With the rain and snow falling outside,

the place to be was in the kitchen with the warm oven.

Aubrey managed to leave the computer for cookies!

Sydnee loves helping.

I can't believe how big the girls are getting.

Wasn't it just yesterday that Sydnee wasn't allowed to get anywhere

near the hot pan?

Now, our little man is in on the action.

He loves to "help".

He watched the cookies bake...

barely able to contain himself!

We made white chocolate macadamia nut cookies...

and chocolate chip pumpkin cookies.

They are wonderful!

They won't last long...

a single tear...

It is snowing...

Do I need to say more?

A single tear falls down my face...

But, wait...I will fight the depression getting ready to set in.

I think we need to make some cookies!

Fall comfort food...

There is nothing better in the Fall than comfort food.

Around here, that means...

...cookies, desserts and a crockpot full of chili!

Mmmmm....

"big boy"...

My little man is becoming a chef!

He loves to help.

He loves to be a "big boy".

He is concentrating so hard, his tongue is sticking out. How cute!

Miranda is such a wonderful big sister.

She is always willing to let one of the little ones help out.

...and helping is this little mans thing.

Except, you do hear a lot of...

"I do it myself."

He also like to sample.

This family can go through a batch of cookies in a heartbeat.

If you don't get 'em quick... they'll be gone.

Weekend stuff...

While the hubby and I were out today, the girls made some chocolate, chocolate chip cookies.After church we drove about an hour from our house to a newish IKEA.

I just wanted to see what all of the fuss is about.

Yeah, I could do without it. I know some people love all of that modern stuff, but not me.

They did like playing with the trains though.

Last night, while sitting on the couch with my little man,

he said...

"Momma, put you head on my shoulder."

Awwww... How could I resist?

Then we vegged out watching the Olympics.

Remember when...

Do you remember when you had your first oreo cookie dunking lesson?Lily and Brysen enjoyed a small dessert with a lesson. (Daddy enjoyed it too.)
Dunk it halfway. Eat the half you dunked...
... Then dunk again. Mmmm. Mmmmm. Good.
