Cookies and Swimming in the bath

Rio and I are spending A LOT of time at home.  He has been asking all week to go to the zoo and swimming and I just cant seem to get it together enough to take him to do either.  So he settled for the next best thing.  We made cookies in the morning and he went swimming in  the bathtub this afternoon.  What a good sport.  We are heading to an extended family dinner tonight in which I will be sitting on the sidelines as my family battles it out on the “beach” volleyball court.  Should look a lot like the beach volleyball we have been watching on the Olympics this week (wink wink).

Maybe I will remember an apron for Rio next time. 

 

Found the best Choc chip and oatmeal choc chip recipes on the back of the bulk choc chips from Costco.  Seriously the best recipe I’ve ever tried.  Email me if you want it (O:

    As busy mothers, we find ways to satisfy our kids when doing what they really want to do is just not possible. Baking cookies is always a good way to side track a kid. Good thinking!!!
