Days off are good.
Days off you get to spend with your kids are good.
Days off where you also get to spend part of the day with your mom? Really good.
Columbus Day was a day off of school for my kids. The teachers had an in-service - so no class for them, so I took the day off. So we convinced my mom to come out to play for the morning. We went shopping to Sam's Club (we bought each other the same thing as a Christmas gift - shhh it's a secret - ok not really), drew pictures, traced hands, and sang songs. We also baked cookies.
Snickerdoodles are one of those things I've been wanting to bake for a long time and just hadn't gotten around to doing. We made it happen! Bronwyn was my official ball roller and cinnamon sugar coater. She rolled each dough ball to make it nice and round, then rolled it in the cinnamon and sugar. She made sure to arrange them just so on the cookie sheets. We watched them puff up in the oven and make the house smell so wonderful.
For the first time in ever... the girl found a cookie she will eat!! Wait, what? Bronwyn eating something she baked? Unheard of! We all ate them too - very yummy cookies!
We ended the morning with my dad coming - always a hit when "Papa" comes over. Nicholas can't get enough of Grandpa.
Looking forward to our next day off fill with fun and laughter.
