dough to go around...

you might not think he's got a sensitive side...but this 'bad A' can bake cookies like nobody's business.

with the help of his siblings of course...

oh, the joys of baking with kids...such a messy (but fun(for them)) process...

nothing beats eating cookie dough right off the mixer!

and i mean, really, nothing beats it...poor Charlie-in the background- is just wishing for a taste!

totally unrelated, but here is all my beautiful sisters and in-laws and mom on mothers day! we missed you Jami B.! it's not complete without you...notice how we didn't put a blonde 'filler' in this time to try to replace you! ha!

one of THOSE days

Seriously we did NOT leave the house yesterday, not once. Not even to get the mail in the front yard. Liam had these same Thomas P.J.'s on all day. Even after a bath last night I put the same ones on again. (too lazy to go downstairs for another pair) HA... it was quite the day. My excuse: (not that I always need one, it's not like this hasn't happened before) I've had some kind of weird stomach bug that has lasted for 4 days. Constant stomach cramps with no throwing up - it is awful, oh yeah and a little diarrhea too, nice. I worked all day Monday and my kids were in the house with the sitter. So I didn't mind laying low all day, esp. being sick.! But my poor kids- 2 days straight!
Please tell me other kids have the same kind of nothingness sometimes.!

Nothing like a nice bath

a day can start out this way...

but after a trip to the American West Heritage Center...(baby animal day)...it's gotta end this way too!
