Anyway, it has been three days since my last post, so let's play a bit of catch up. :) On Friday last week I was having a massive craving for sugar cookies... probably because I found this delicious look recipe and I was curious to try it out. I admit that those brightly colored sugar cookies in the grocery store often look good. I love that they are so soft, thick, chewy, and sweet. So I was thinking that a copycat recipe would be fun to try. I tell you what, I was NOT disappointed! Those cookies are ah-MAZING! They taste rich and buttery (probably has something to do with 3 sticks of butter for 28 cookies...) and real. No artificial waxy taste. I ended up being too tired on Friday night to finish them, so we got up and frosted them on Saturday morning after breakfast. The kids had fun "helping". Here's a peek.
Emilie and I sat and chatted while the kids all played. We mixed up a loaf of bread too... because what fun is a day without a kitchen project?! I will admit that it is a bit strange working in my old kitchen, which is now Emilie's kitchen. lol. She has it set up very nicely in there, and we are so happy that they are loving the house. We may not always understand the way God works, but are confident that they belong in that house. :) Matthew is raring and ready to start our next adventure once the house is officially theirs... if only we could figure out for sure what exactly our next adventure should be. haha. We have some ideas, but are still praying about it. We definitely want this next home to actually be a home for us for a while. Despite what some people seems to think, we do not actually plan to continue moving every 6-12 months or during every pregnancy. I get a little sensitive to comments about our 'history' at times, but Matt reminds me it's our life and we've done the things we've done for good reasons - so who cares what other people want to think. Guess I just need tougher skin sometimes.
Ok, I got a little off topic there. Forgive me. :) As we were getting ready to leave we let the kids run around and play outside a bit. It was about 48* but the wind was cold! Didn't stop the kids from having some fun though.
This morning we took daddy and dropped him off at work. He has since run off to Wyoming with a woman from work. :) When I say that to him, he gives me the look, and reminds me that Lucy is super sweet - and approximately 65 years old. lol. I've met her, and I agree that she's very nice. A guy from the office also went. He has a demo for his software product on Thursday morning. Lucy and Tim have stuff to do all day Thursday, so they will all head back on Friday. It's about 8 hours away, so they'll be home sometime Friday late afternoon/early evening. I am glad that he doesn't have to drive all by himself.
After we got home, the kids had a little breakfast and then Brielle and Joshua snuggled up on the couch with a pile of stuffed puppies and a baby doll. Of course by the time I thought to take a picture, Joshua was about over the sitting and snuggling part and had decided to get down and move on to the 'I just want to throw them' part. For your information, Brielle does not like that part. :) I got him set up with something else so she could finish playing with puppies that were not flying through the air at her head.
