Finally...

We finally got a significant rain around here.  I must admit when the kids wanted rain gear, I was a bit worried we wouldn't get our monies worth out of them but we got a good rain last week and the kids were SOOOO excited to use their rain gear - a Frozen umbrella for Riley and fireman boots and jacket for Jacoby!!!

Come again soon rain!  We had fun with our new gear!!!!

Patty Cake Patty Cake...

bake me some cookies!  Ok, blog catch up time, the past few weeks have been super busy at work (of course because I gave notice).  I hate when responsibility gets in the way of doing the things that I love.  So prepare for an onslaught of blog posts!  :)

When we were down in Disneyland we bought a Mickey Mouse (or as Riley would say Mickey "House") cookie cutter, so with the tremendous about of rain that we had a few weeks ago, I decided it would be a good time to introduce Riley to the art of baking.  My friend gave Ri and I matching aprons for my birthday so Riley was super excited for us to match.  Riley loved baking, she wanted to be involved in every step, as she does with almost everything these days, like dinner every night.  So we pulled up a chair and she watched as I mixed the ingredients.  Then we moved over to the table and Riley helped with the cookie cutter.  We have some funny looking Mickey "House" cookies but all in all it was a fun activity to share together!

Getting ready to bake!

Watching the mixing

Time for Mickey "House!"

Ready to put them in the oven...

YUM!

Rain Rain Go Away!
