Cookies, cookies and more cookies

So last night was the annual Cookie party, bring a few dozen cookies, a wrapped ornament, and take home cookies and an unwrapped ornament!
I think it all went off without a hitch....or something like that!
Here are a few pics- first off my delicious hazlenut dream bars, let me tell all of you who may not know- I dont cook, I dont bake, I dont broil, or boil or "cut in butter" as the recipe called for...but I did it and they turned out wonderfully (if I dont say so myself!)
Next are someone elses cookies, Im guessing my friend Nichole, because she is very creative!
And last but never least my wonderful friend Beth- it wouldnt be a party without her- or me for that matter!
so thanks all you gals that made it to the party, good cookies and meatballs (mmmm), and good friends-


got to love this girl- check out her blog (blogalicious) and see her daughter.......she wonders where Clara gets her cheesiness from:)

Ah, gee thanks. It was super fun! My daughter is WAY cuter when she is being cheesy. Good times.

When it rains.....it pores:)

So here I am visiting the great town of wenatchee- great friends good family and two children! A two year old and a 6 week old. Never have I traveled this far ( 2 1/2 hours) by myself with them and the trip there- fantastic!! Well on the way home I was stopped by a road crew blowing up rocks- 20 minute delay- okay, so we wait the twenty minutes. We pass the flagger and of course it has been 2 hours since I fed the newborn so its time to eat she screams- we make it to the rest stop and POW its closed, so we pull over! Then in the middle of feeding my two year old yells POTTY MOMMY, POTTY MOMMY- great- I say. So I give her the option to go outside- NO WAY so I say " lets put on your sisters diaper and just this one time you can go in a diaper" NO WAY aaaaaaaaaaaa- what do I do...well, there is a fruit stand up the road! So we hop in the car, get to the fruit stand and I plead my case- YES they say, you can use the toilet!!!
okay, I think we are good to go...but of course we get behind three truckers!!!
So long story short our 2 1/2 hour trip ends up taking us almost four and we make it home to a loving husband and father and a batch of peanut butter cookies from the neighbor!
I guess there is always a rainbow at the end of a rainstorm- HUH?
