Peanut Butter Cookies

Lucas has been asking me to make peanut butter cookies (which he tells me are BETTER than Mrs. Field's) and I keep telling him it is too much work! Well Alexander was here this weekend and his teacher said it would be good to have him work on tasks and following directions at home. So here was my attempt- we made peanut butter cookies together. I told him that he better watch out because if he knows how to make them, we might be making them every weekend that he is here! He did really good- and I think he has it down! Oh no! :)

Putting Everything in the Bowl

Mixing it up with the mixer.

Of Course, Can't Forget to Lick the Mixer.
Playing in the flour a little bit- and Making a Mess (but I told him to!)
Rolling the Dough into Balls.

Rolling them in Sugar.

Criss-Crossing them on the pan.

Easter 2009

We spent Easter with my family. It was a great get-together as usual- excellent food and good company. We got the cutest Easter baskets full of candy. The kids all participated in an Easter egg hunt, it was so cute. Unfortunately Alexander was not able to spend this holiday with us, but we will celebrate with him when we get him next! Here is our Easter picture that we had my Aunt Tara take.

Babysitting Rocks

Almost 2 years ago now, Lucas and I babysat for a cousin of mine. They have 3 small children (2 boys and a girl) who are a lot of fun to hang out with. Well the deal was- if we babysat we will get some tickets to a concert or sporting event. Finally I received a phone call from my cousin and he had 2 club level tickets to the Wild game. HOCKEY again- seems to be a theme here! It was a fantastic game, the Wild won 4-0. I texted my cousin and asked when he needed another babysitter! :)
