looking forward

to what's in store for this week because

 so far, i'm loving monday. 

 today my munchkins and I said bye to daddy before work

 and geared up for a day filled with baking & cooking.

 we started off with oatmeal lace cookies, 

 which I must say are my new favorite cookie. 

 they are dynamite and I'll be posting the recipe below. 

I got the idea from the yellow pepper's blog and she inspired me to make them!

 One batch made 4 dozen cookies so we made a special delivery 

 to uncle JJ and aunt emmy as well as nana and papa!

 very exciting. 

 of course we rounded up our trip with our usual frozen yogurt stop, 

 today- pomegranate/raspberry sorbet. 

 holy beyond moly delicious, really.

  we finally came home, prepared dinner and ate. 

 now I'm enjoying them play outside while I sit posting this and finishing

 up a few assignments for classes.

 some things I'm looking forward to this week.

Parenthood finally returns with new episodes! I've been 

patiently waiting, and yes I'm obsessed.
An old friend who I haven't talked to in forever is pregnant with her second 

and she's having a baby shower- I did something homemade for her baby girl!

semester in non-western art. very intriguing.
