Unnecessary

As I pulled out batch of cookies number nine from my oven today, I was taught an important life lesson that I would like to share.

It is almost never necessary to make cookie dough that calls for 7 cups of flour.

There are a few exceptions to this rule, which I will outline below.

• It is your neighbor gift at Christmastime.
• You are hosting an event and expecting 108 guests.
• You have 17 offspring that require brown bag lunches every day.
• You run your own bakery.
• You are planning on freezer-storing a year's worth of Family Home Evening treats.
•  Your name is Annette Ferguson, you are having a few family members over for lunch, and you're worried about not having enough food.
• You are the PTA president embarking on a bake sale.

Otherwise, it is unnecessary.  Next time, I'll remember.

Just a Little This and That

This is mostly for Megan, since she needs something to do at work.  Boy, we really haven't been up to much.  I like to imagine that we can move into a bigger apartment so I search nearby apartments three times a week.  I guess I've been doing that.  Oh yeah, I've also been reading.  You know when you have a phenomenal book and spend every spare second reading?  I've been doing that.  I've been looking at Pinterest.  I've been baking (which occurs because I look at pinterest).  I've been spring cleaning.  I've been Relief-Societing.  I've been playing with magnetic letters...oh wait, that's what Raquel's been doing.

She's also been giving piggy-back rides to her friend, Peanut.

She despises when I wet her hair so we can scrunch it up in pretty curls, but its so cute, I can't resist!

I especially love what it turns out like post-nap.

We've made it down to the pool  a couple times once, so we've already been developing fabulous tans.  Bet you can't do that in Utah right now:)

Yikes!  I sound so lazy.  I promise I'm not.  I just like to exaggerate.  Life is good:)  By the way, in case you are in need of some good news:  3 1/2 more months!!!  Hooray!  

Okay okay, now calm down and go snip another link off your countdown.
