One thing nice about Kent starting work at 9:00am is that we always get the mornings together. The other day, Elise woke up saying that she wanted to go on a hike, so we took the morning and did a short hike on south mountain which was so nice.
It was Papa’s birthday last month, so we had the girls make birthday cards for him. I told them to choose the stickers for the card that they thought he might like, hinting at the wild animal stickers, etc; however, they were sure papa wanted princess, fairy, and ballerina stickers on his card.
Saturday afternoon I was so tired I just fell asleep on the couch. Kent took the girls outside for a while so they wouldn’t disturb me. Anna drew pictures of me all over the sidewalk sleeping on the couch with a pillow under my head and a baby belly.
The girls and I decided that because it was fall we were going to make pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. Anna was really excited and kept telling me how she loved pumpkin cookies, though I don’t think she has ever tried them. Well, I don’t know what she thought pumpkin cookies were made out of, but as soon as I put the pumpkin puree in the bowl for her to mix, she started crying that she did not want that pumpkin in her cookies.
It was quite comical because as soon as she tasted the cookie dough she stopped crying and insisted that we make pumpkin cookies again, which we did.
Your girls crack me up! So funny about the card and cookies. I can't wait for you to have your baby!
