Cookies


My neighbor Andee thinks I have great patience because I let the kids cook all the time. Little does she know that I can be a little controlling at times and the kids know my 'rules'. Today the kids made no bake cookies. It entailed the usual ingredients and techniques with a little extra from Scars and Chi. As you can tell Scarlett used her fingers and Chi used his tongue to properly mix the butter and peanut butter in. At one point Scars thought that she would taste the unsweetened cocoa and got a nice suprise, which naturally made her spit it out into the mix....yummy! You gotta love cookies made with love.

Bloggers Block

So I've had a bit of block as to what to write or report or journal lately. Mostly, because I've been sucked into the Twilight series (thanks Sharlene, Nicole and Jamie) combined with some laziness. Whatever. I can't believe that i'm feeling guilty for not having an entry in the last few weeks. I hate trends like these just for this reason.
Well I wanted to share with you some photo's from our very own family photographer...Malachi. He loves taking pictures and has almost broken the camera several times, but it's just a material thing and can be replaced. He's having fun and I've seen more expensive toys than my camera (sorry Rick I know it was a gift from you). He really likes candids and there would be more of Johnson, but he never seems to have a shirt on around the house.

" Say cheese mommy"
I know this one is blurry, but I love that it's centered. We were having fun playing in the rain this day. It was warm and there were bizarre down poors that we hardly ever see. It made for great puddle splashing & stomping.

Malachi didn't take this one, obviously. I just love coordinating sundays when everyone is wearing the same color. I know it's cheesy but I love it.
This girl is so stinkin cute. She can go from looking like a total poster child to....

a complete mess in one second. Typical Boston having her afternoon chocolate fix.


I was a little worried at first that she was being heavily influenced by her brothers toys, but she's recently started finding her girly side. She loves carrying around her little purses and bags right on her elbow of all places. It's pretty cute when you combine it with the switch of her diaper strut.


So there now I don't feel so guilty.
