lack of pics

Yeah, I told myself several times this morning to put the battery in camera and take pics of Tiffany and Aidrik while they were here today . . . did I do it? NOPE. She spent all day, from 11am - 5 or so pm, here at my house. We did a store run, made about 10 dozen of a variety of cookies for her friend’s wedding and just plain played the kids and caught up . . . since I hadn’t seen her about 4 months! I couldn’t believe we came to that conclusion! 4 months . . . we live an hour away from each other and thats how often I get to see her?! grrr. Both of our lives are crazy busy with kids and family, so its understandable when life just gets carried away with us, individually.

We had a great day! And, to top it off, the cookies turned out awesome. We made double chocolate chunk mocha cookies that we then dipped half way in melted chocolate, we made peanut butter cut out cookies that were shaped as hearts with chocolate drizzle, and we made chocolate and oatmeal bars with nuts on top. Oh, and my handy pb cookie recipe with choco chips. All turned out beautifully!! I was pleased and I hope the bride is pleased as well . . . if she even gets to see them . . . so maybe I should say, whoever is coordinating the wedding is pleased.

We ordered pizza and picked up Starbucks and just, generally, enjoyed the day together!  I think we both will avoid sweetened anything for at least a week (a day or two) so we can come out of the sugar-induced coma we are in at the moment.

I thank my Heavenly Father for HIS provision and grace today!!

God Bless!!
