Adventures in Babysitting

First of all, my computer is back! Virus free! We decided it was going to cost too much to have it fixed, so we just wiped out everything on it and started over. I think we saved everything important to flash drives...or at least I hope we did!

Yesterday I got to spend the day with three of my most favorite people. Eli, Beaux and Eden. We had a blast drawing pictures, watching a Eukanuba Dog Show (we wanted Razzle to win) and playing board games. Unfortunately all of that took about an hour and a half. I was then forced to either get creative, or give in to the chaos.


So, we made cookies.


If I mysteriously get sick in the next few days, I don't think it will be hard to trace back the origin.


Then we baked them and decorated them with chocolate frosting. They were delicious, and our only casualty was a white pillowcase that Beaux used as a napkin for her chocolatey face, hands and legs. Yes, there was chocolate on her legs...don't ask me how.



Then we built a fort out of blankets in the living room.


We ate our cookies inside and watched Banana Splits, which is quite possibly the creepiest cartoon I have ever seen. But they loved it.


What an adventure!
