Well, the sour cream cut outs were a hit, or I should say are a hit. Schmills was happy to help and by the way he made Monster's hearts. As monsters do have hearts you know, and they are nice inside those monsters. They are only not nice on the outside. I have this on good authority.
Kelsa was given a tiny bowl with frosting in which to dip her cookie. She then painted the counter with her cookie dipped in frosting. Then she dipped her socked foot into her frosting and frosted the counter, then grandpa took her away and she was mad.
I am a very messy cook and
making these kinds of cookies usually means the kitchen is covered in flour. I also made two pans of shortbread one dark and one light. How can a cup of butter, 1/2 cup sugar and then 2 cups of flour taste so good?
So, Saturday night the kitchen was at least somewhat clean. Well not the floor, as I would be cooking for the missionaries on Sunday, and I was sure to make a real mess then.
Don't tell your grandson that if he doesn't take a bath, he will have to sit with all the stinky people in the back of the church, as he will immediately ask where they are when he gets to church. Like loud enough for everyone to hear. An 18-month-old can crawl under the pews, and you cannot. This will result in a game of frogger, while you are in high heels. Just little bits of advice, because I truly care about all of you.
The roll menu was a huge success, unless you looked at the kitchen afterwards. Rice everywhere. But boy was it good and we had very happy tummies. I still need to put away all the dishes and unload the dishwasher and really wipe down the cupboards. There are plenty of leftovers, so yum again.
I have two wedding dresses to get to work on today and Kelsa is here but sleeping. Hubs just went to get Schmills from school. Daughter will pick them up at 6.
We are leaving Thursday morning to go to daughters in Twin Falls. We will stop and get Hub's mom and take her with us. It is Fraka's birthday on Friday, and daughter's birthday on Sunday. Then we will have Valentine's Day and we will leave the morning of Daniel's birthday after he opens his present. Just a quick get out of dodge trip and a check on mom.
I have to fill my saving envelopes and get my money to the bank for the 5's that I saved and my 2-envelope challenge. Saved $35.00 in 5's this week. Another $100 to my two-envelope challenge. Then putting a $1,$5,$10,$20 bill in a envelope. All leftover monies will go to my weekend trip.
I just ran into shop, and I have a lot more to get done than I thought. I had better get busy.
Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are int the negative.
Kim
No pics of the foot painting? I would love to see that! Monster hearts are fun!
ReplyDeleteOh, I was laughing too hard about church - now that is funny (unless it is you).
She is Picasso, I swear so much talent.
DeleteNice to meet you, Kim!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your post - you have a gift for funny writing! I could imagine the chaos of baking with a child (I think?).
Thanks so much for visiting my blog!
Thanks, Sheila, I have a funny life. I love your style. My style is bib overalls, unless it is Sunday when I dress up and then I have to put on shoes, I call it my two hours of hell. Very arthritic feet and I live in Danskos. But I love how you put yourself together.
DeleteValentine cookies are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteTHANKS DEB, THEY ARE YUMMY TOO. I KNOW I HAVE ONLY EATEN 12 OF THEM THIS MORNING.
DeleteI told you so about the dinosaur hearts! My two older were 2 yrs 3 mths apart. I could write a book on church adventures with those two. The things my son (older) said in church left me shocked. They don't know how to whisper! The church members were always laughing or shaking their heads.
ReplyDeleteSocks in the frosting! It must have been quite a sight and a mess.
Well, my mother always said she lost more religion than she gained just getting us ready for church.
DeleteThanks for the laugh today Kim ... I really needed it!! I laughed about Kelsa dipping her foot in the frosting but I laughed more about grandson asking where the stinky people are in his loud voice - can just imagine!!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't know why I try sometimes, but grandmothering is hard work.
DeleteI need to come & visit, because frosted sugar cookies & shortbread are two of my favorite things! I will help clean up. :-) I'm loving the visual of frogger at church!
ReplyDeleteSO did everyone else as I heard the titters all the way up to the front as I chased the little bugger. Remember 1 cup butter, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 cups flour bake at 300 until firm and golden. Just tryin to help...
DeleteYour sweets look so delicious! Thanks for the smile today.
ReplyDeleteThey are I have eaten 12 cookies this morning.
DeleteOh my gosh I"m sorry but I lost all concentration after reading about the kids... I miss having kids that age around... Such mess and such fun!! LOL
ReplyDeleteIt is a mess always and so worth it.
DeleteI kind of laughed out loud reading the church tales. I would have loved sitting in the back of the church when he asked where the stinky people were! Also chasing a toddler under the pews is a pretty funny mental visual.
ReplyDeleteYes and the little bugger had to go clear to the front as I was chasing her. I had an asthma attack after I got her out int her hall.
DeleteYour cookies look delicious! Schmills sounds like a character; what a fun imagination! And Kelsa will keep you on your toes.
ReplyDeleteHow do you make Kimpa? Sounds like a yummy meal.
Safe travels and Happy Birthdays to everyone celebrating next week.
Well you cook rice, then add a bunch of seasonings to it. Then you Julien carrots, and cook them in sesame oil, you scramble eggs and make them into egg sheets, you buy diakon radish and slice it thin, and you boil fresh spinach and then drain it well and fry it in sesame oil and add toasted sesame seeds, and you get fake crab and cut it in thin strips. After this is all assmebled, youc
Deletesorry I went to correct the spelling of assembled and hit the wrong button. Then you layer your rice on a sheet of nori (sea weed) and layer each of these ingredients and roll into a sushi and cut with a sharp knife. This is not a recipe for the faint of heart. I was taught how to do this by Korean women and I worked with them several times. It isi a lot of work.
DeleteSounds like a lot of work, but I know your guests enjoyed it.
DeleteI have made Japanese sushi so this is similar in a way. Thanks so much
Oh my, your story of the "stinky people" brought back memories.
ReplyDeleteOur oldest son was sitting in the doctor's waiting room with me one day when he was about 4 and looked across the room at a Hutterite gentleman.
"Mom, is that man Santa." Of course I answered in the negative. Kurt got a bit louder and said "But he has a beard like Santa." Once again the answer was in the negative, and since this was louder the magazine I was holding got a bit higher, and closer to hiding my face. Kurt waited a bit and finally said "But Mom he is just as fat as Santa" in a very loud voice. After this my magazine was hiding my blushes by being held right in front of my face.
The gentleman in question laughed very loudly, called Kurt over put him on his lap and asked what he wanted for Christmas. So very glad that he took a youngsters questions in stride and didn't take offence.
God bless.
