An afternoon update

Micaela finished everything, stamped for a while, watched a movie with me while the boys were still asleep and Asher played, and then we started the cookies. She's been good all afternoon.

Baking cookies woke everyone up, and we are anticipating our first batch.

Confession: I didn't have chocolate morsels. I chopped baking squares. I licked the cutting board before I washed it. Something has happened to me in the last five years. I have lost my last shred of dignity. Next I'll be licking the board and forgetting to wash it. When I am a mother retired (when my children don't live at home and are not with me daily) perhaps I will recover myself.

What a hoot! Now I'm going to be thinking of making cookies and licking the cutting board until I DO IT! LOL

So - how far did Nathaniel count? I'm wondering how many cookies he got. LOL

Poor Nathaniel. After lots and lots of practice, he stil got stuck at three. One, two is all he got, but they were big. I got 31 cookies instead of 60. I need to work on my portions. He was happy anyway.
