saturday

oh yeah. I am so tired I cannot come up with a fun title for this post. I miss my scrapping desk and had wanted to spend some time here this weekend. Then I go and start to feel sick. Man... so not fair. I worked through it for the day and made three batches of cookies for hubby's work meeting Monday and Tuesday. But now I am totally beat. Gonna find some warm jammies and snuggle down on the couch. Hoping to feel better tomorrow.

cookies and scout

This was in Alex's room from Scout. Alex LOVES his Hershey Kisses so these were a nice treat. And the best part, he knew not to eat them until after breakfast! I don't think he ate them until after school that day. Such a good boy.

 Scout was hanging out in Kira's room on her alarm clock, Ashley.

This was the message that Scout left for Kira. Guess he noticed her not listening to us yesterday. ;)

 After school Alex found that Scout had rearranged the days on the advent calendar. He was putting everything back in order for me. He knows how I am. Such a good boy!!

Then he spent the day in our tree hanging out with his friends. He also happened to snag a piece of a spritz cookie to nibble on while he was there!

Here is the process of baking said spritz cookies the day before. My helper was Kira on this day. She loves using the cookie press and it was nice to have the help.

They were so busy eating they didn't want me to take a picture. LOL

Need to get the other Scout pictures off my camera. Maybe tomorrow after the craziness of the day. Gonna miss that little rascal around here.

Merry Christmas everyone!!

slow sunday

and there is nothing wrong with that! Got a bit of football to watch today. As well as encouraging Kira to read her book report book. She is not liking this book at all so she is really struggling to get through it. When it's a book she likes, she can whip through them so quickly. This one... not so much. Hoping next months book selection is better.

Here are the cupcakes I made yesterday. I had left over frosting from our Thanksgiving and Christmas cakes that were taking up valuable real estate in the freezer so that's why there is orange and green frosting with Valentine sprinkles. It works for us and the family didn't mind eating them!

I went to clean the sink next to the washing machine and looked down and spotted a small hidden Mickey!! Kira thought it was pretty neat. I think it's Disney World's way of letting us know we should be heading for a visit. LOL Of course we don't want to go while they are in the midst of remodeling Fantasy Land so it looks like our next trip won't be until 2013! Seems so far away! Till then we will have to make due with all the pictures I have of the last two trips and spotting the Mickey's that pop up in our lives!!

It's quiet this morning so I think I shall attempt to scrap some pages. Working on our Sea World visit. So far, so good!
