manly baking

ryan, b and jk did a little holiday baking {{kind of}}

the only tool of the trade needed for the manly man's baking...scissors
{{notice the santa apron}}

the 'break apart" maneuver and teaching session

proper placement...and sweet little girl hands

finally...big smiles and hugs waiting for the smell of fresh baked cookies!

notice there's no finshed product pick...yep, we ate them up and then remembered.  ooops!
so i'm totally not knocking the manly cooking style, bc the cookies were, well, fresh baked cookies and i didn't have to do it!!

Those are my favorite type of cookies...the hubs too. He is such a sucker for 'fresh baked cookies' that I keep the break apart cookies in the fridge at all times. He can cook up a few when he wants them and then the next day he can have more fresh baked..yum!

Love the pics!

Aww! That is too cute! Mr. C made me home-made cookies for my birthday and just the thought of him baking for me made me smile! :)
Kimmy said…

Awwww I love it! Actually in our house, my husband's the baker, and I prefer the 'scissors only' type of baking. I'll do the other, but I like to keep it simple. ;O)

Those prepared pkgs yield some of the best tasting cookies. Cute photos!!!!!

Saying hi from the Kidz blog...love the Daddy cooking day! Have a Merry Christmas!

That looked like a very happy event with Dad. The kids look like they are having fun. In our household there would not be that many cookies on the tray..we eat the dough!
He & Me + 3 said…
That is my kind of baking. LOL
Very fun and delicious! A magical WW to you!
Lindsay said…
That's MY kind of baking....obviously (if you saw my Tuesday post). LOL. Hey - as long as they are delicious, and obviously they were) you're golden. And you're right - YOU didn't have to do it. Bonus.
Carrie said…
I highly appreciate the non-cleanup factor with break & bakes!!
Karen said…
You know- I think that is more than my husband knows how to bake. Though he can cook and does three nights a week. I love the pictures. You can tell your girls adore their dad. You are very blessed to have him.
Susan said…
I don't think my husband has ever donned an apron. Good for your manly man to get involved and look the part to boot.
CntryMomma said…
I always tell my husband he's hot in an apron ... not sure if he believes me 'cause he always says "shut-up" hehee

We are a Lands-End loving family around here!

random acts...GNO

over at GNO, there's a few of us who decided to challenge ourselves last week to perform a random act of kindness.   i talked with my girls and hubs about what we could do... we reserve some funds each month out of our giving to put towards a current or urgent need that we find.  i think it's important to let the kids see how we give as family...and they should be part of that decision too . as we were talking, and eating chinese...come on, you know there would be eating...i open my fortune cookie.  and this is it!! i was out getting a few minutes of alone time and decided to pay hubs forward by getting jiffy lube to do the oil change.  while i was there, i remembered how hard it was being a single mom.  i remembered that the little things, like oil changes, suddenly became bigger things and honestly, more expensive things.  *light bulb!!!* thomas rang me up for my oil change and asked if they had any scheduled appointments that i could pay for.  he looked at me a little odd...

sadness

on the way home from DD {{bc apparently there was NO preschool today for jk...it's no prob, really...we just rushed around and scrambled and got in the car and then when we got there and there was no school...well, there were tears...thus DD}} , there came a moment of sincere sadness in my heart. jk: " mommy, i want to look like brookie" "why sweetie? you are the perfect jada" jk: "i don't like my brown skin. i want peach skin like brookie" i just sank. does that not make ur heart want to break? a 3 yo is struggling already with her skin being different. then, this happened: brooke: "jada, god made you and he loves you. he does it all right the very first time" then, i think my heart grew three sizes . jada threw a big smile up on her face and said, "ok. god loves me" now, if we all could just do that. god loves us...he doesn't make mistakes...he makes perfect works of art. sometimes there are scratches in the art.

tuesday tribute---for tuesday

go blog yourself has been on my reading list for quite sometime...and so i really came to love little tuesday whitt and her whole sweet fam and became involved in praying for them in tuesday's battle with that stinky neuroblastoma . tuesday's parents are totally amazing...they inspire me! although tuesday went to play with jesus not so long ago, there have been so many people that are changed because of the courage and strength and honesty of the whitt family. on the day of celebration of tuesday's life, a number of folks who couldn't make it out to the funeral, took their kids on a 'wagie ride', which was one of tuesday's fav things. we all posted up our pics...shared our experiences with each other...and hugged our kiddos a little tighter. my kiddos wagie ride is here . from that precious little tuesday and her honorary wagie ride, a blog spawned...of course...and it is dedicated to nothing more than, in their words, "to keep track of lives touc
