Yummy cookies, what was I thinking? and yes, diarrhea

Jason has been at work all day today and some of yesterday. So, Lauren and I have been hanging out together here at the casa. She has really been on one this weekend, so it has been trying at times. And when she and I go at it - WATCH OUT. So, we've had some tough times, but I didn't want it to be all about that. We played dress up dolls this morning after we had some scrambled eggs for breakfast while watching some cartoons. Then I headed in to clean the kitchen and she was right behind me. She helped with washing, tidying and she kept saying "washing dishes is fun! Isn't it mom?" So, I am glad she enjoyed it and we did get to be together. Then we gave Shelby a little soak in her bath. She's shedding and this helps her with that. After that we had some lunch and then I decided to make some cookies - I had found a new recipe on a fellow bloggers post and they looked really good. So, we baked a batch and then she has been playing with her neighbor friend ever since. I'll post the recipe for the cookies later...you gotta try them. So keep checking back.

So, I'm here catching up on some scrappin, bloggin and organizing. Wishing my husband was home cause I really am not use to this alone stuff. It's fun for a while, but it's nice to be together on the weekend since we both work full time during the week and are exhausted most evenings. Hopefully he will be home soon.

Oh, about the diarrhea...Lauren and I were cleaning her room yesterday and I was piling up some sketch books, color books, etc. I found this tiny little pink notebook and I asked her where she wanted it. I made the mistake of calling it a notebook and she said "Mom, it's my diarrhea...it's very special". I cracked up! Her diarrhea...who knew she had one already?! Guess she put me in my place. Hilarious!

Oh yes and take a look at this...what was I thinking? It was too cute - we found it at Costco for under $10 bucks. I figured maybe I would be able to use it someday, or it would be a good gift for a friend. Either way, I just had to have it.

Did I mention that it snowed last night. Seriously? I am over this winter stuff!
