A Lazy Day...

Bryant headed out this morning for a guys weekend camping trip with some men from our Sunday School class. While I had every intention of going to the playground with the kids today... needless to say that didn't happen. Pretty much it was just a lazy day around here. Nathan became a professional TV watcher and Gracie got a nap in while I did a little work in Elijah's room. For a child that had absolutely no clothes at the beginning of this pregnancy, he sure does have a full dresser now. Thanks mostly to the clothing that was passed on to us from friends at church and a few things that we had either purchased or set aside because they were gender neutral from the other kids.

One thing that I promised the kids we would do today was make cookies. But, do you know how hard that is when you are out of brown sugar?! Literally all that leaves to be made is sugar cookies... and after dinner we tackled them. The kids did such a good job taking turns adding all the ingredients (luckily it was Nathan's turn when we had to add the egg... not sure what would have happened if Gracie had to crack it open). We used my mom's recipe, it's the only one we ever use.... typically we roll them, cut them and then frost them after they're cooked. But, tonight to save time we made them the way that grandma does... sprinkled with sugar and squashed with a cup. The perfect treat to end our lazy day.
