The Every-day Things

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.IMG_1093

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.
