Cookies!

Time to get started!  I got their work area set up, rolled out the dough and let ‘em go to town.  You may notice that Sister’s hair is straight.  We got haircuts earlier that day and the last few times we have gone, she has asked Mrs. Jill to make her curls straight. Looks cute, but I prefer the curls.  She prefers it straight. Naturally.

We waited two days before we decorated them.  We had been diagnosed with flu and I wanted to make sure everyone had several doses of Tamiflu in them before we held those cookies in our hands and breathed all over them.  We still breathed on them cutting them out, but I figure the hot oven baked all the germs away right?  I know, I’m stretching a bit but I’ll take anything…

I need to figure out which cookie C. is working on and remember to NOT eat that one….With or without flu germs, those are some awesome lookin’ cookies!

Magic seeds

First off, I misinformed you all on the girl elf’s name.  Her name is not Sparkle, it is Glitter.  We woke up a couple of mornings ago to this note left by the elves.  It told the kids to plant the magic seeds at bedtime in a bowl of sugar and see what grew while they were asleep.

So, that night after baths, that is exactly what they did

This is what  we woke up to….

Choooo chooooo

We got all set to decorate our gingerbread train earlier this week.  I baked the pieces on Sunday and we assembled on Monday.

The finished product…

The kids were diagnosed with flu today, so we are all taking Tamiflu…yuk.  At least our last dose will Christmas Eve and then we will be all healthy!

*sigh*….

This was the surprise that Freddy brought back to us.  His little sister.  RA named her Sparkle. These two are sure to have some fun together.

I took an unexpected trip and have not felt like blogging. My mama passed away. Im still reeling. I will do my best to keep everyone up to date on Freddy and Sparkle and their adventures, but it may just be pictures only.  I don’t know.  I just don’t feel chatty or witty or even remotely funny.
