Today was one of those days where you drink warm liquids and bake lots. As I watched the kids get on the bus I couldn't help but feel as though we are living in a snow globe that has just been shook. While the snow swiftly blew around outside, I managed to bake a gazillion cookies. I lost count after four dozen.
I made a double batch of our favorite ginger cookies. One batch for the freezer and the other for the cookie jar.
Then my mom sent over a small jar of M&M's she found which inspired a double batch of monster cookies a short time later. Most of these went in the freezer for snacks, but I left some out on the cooling rack for after school.
And when you bake that many cookies, a sling is a must. Sawyer was happy to sleep away the morning snuggled next to me while I put pan after pan in the oven.
By the time the afternoon rolled around we were all feeling quite listless. Ollie napped while Fin and I enjoyed a game of memory. The pictures on the cards made me smile with snowy scenes from a make believe world. I wished I could be getting ready for a nap under a warm rug, just like the characters on the cards.
We were quite happy when the sun decided to come out in the late afternoon. The days are slowly getting longer!
