Cookies

Here it is 12:30 Thursday night and I just finished cookies for work tomorrow. October is national Physical Therapy month and I work with PTs so we are bringing desserts tomorrow to celebrate. I'm almost embarrassed to take my cookies in because they did not turn out the way I envisioned them. See for yourself:

Even worse than that is what the kitchen looked like when I finished.

I was not up late alone though. Here is a shot of Riley after I busted her trying to get a cookie off of the table.

Bad dog. Luckily the cookies taste much better than they look. They are super rich though due to the fact there is an entire POUND of butter in them. Delicious!

Never again

We took our darling Claire to the fair yesterday with our friends the Weeks family. I was planning on having a picture of our festivities but since I was so overstimulated and Claire was miserable I didn't get one done. Seriously, I know the fair is always crowded and loud but last night was ridiculous! I don't particularly like to be touched and I was touched, a lot. Granted it was only people bumping into me but I can't stand it! I could never live in a crowded city like New York. It was way too loud for Claire and people were passing her around and she couldn't take it anymore so she cried herself to sleep. Then she woke up again when we ran into some friends (you know who you are) and she cried some more. Poor thing. She was so exhausted that when we got home she slept through her dinner and went right to sleep. The hubs actually had to wake her up to feed her this morning. On a much more positive note: the funnel cake was delicious! Maybe next year it'll be easier when Claire is a little older. We'll see. Maybe.

Adventures with Food

I've been meaning to update for a while now but it seems a lot of my nightly free time is now devoted to Claire's diet. Claire started eating cereal two weeks ago with underwhelming results. Let's just say I now have a video of my daughter crying with food dribbling out of her mouth. Ah the memories. The video looks a lot like this :

Just add sound and tears. Luckily, my friend Jennifer suggested mixing bananas in with the cereal and joy was restored - until green bean time. Oh well, it's a learning process I guess.

We are taking our muffin to the fair tonight so I'll try my best remember to share that event soon.
