Halloween Cookies

Last night for family night we frosted Halloween cookies. I think this is the third year we've done it, and it's become a tradition. We plopped Addison in his walker and let him scoot around the dining room (and eat a little frosting) while we went to work. And I must say we had some masterpieces this time around.

Traditional jack-o-lantern faces

"Art cookies" all by Nate. The only recognizable one is the one on the right; a world map.

Sesame Street series: Ernie, Bert, Cookie Monster, Big Bird

Spooky Halloween ones. My favorite is the "Boo!" on the top left (also by Nate.) See if you can find the mustache man, cyclops, devil, vampire, and wicked witch of the west.

    That's so awesome! I think I found all of the faces, but I could be wrong.

    Umm, I hope you don't think I'm too weird, but I just have to share my dream from last night.

    Nate was on a business trip up here in Oregon for some reason, and he needed a place to stay. We offered our couch. Apparently he couldn't sleep, though, because in the morning I woke to find our kitchen and living room absolutely COVERED in baked goods (mostly sugar cookies that looked just like these ones you made). Literally every surface and most of the floor was covered with cookie sheets, racks, pans, and plates of goodies. He said he couldn't sleep so he figured he'd make some food. I didn't complain! ;)

    It's so strange the things you dream about sometimes...apparently your Halloween cookies left an impression! :)

Nate the daredevil

We had one more adventure last Saturday that Nate was too embarrassed to write about. Before our hiking excursion we went to Liberty Park to feed the ducks. Addison had a great time in his stroller soaking up some rays and watching the lake and the people and the birds. We tried hard to avoid the seagulls, which are gross if you've never had much contact with them, and to get to the two ducks that were around, but competition for that bread was pretty fierce, so Nate decided to make the geese work for it (since they're the only ones that would). The documented evidence makes me wonder who was working harder, though, and who was more scared. Must be those ferocious beaks or the powerful weapons they like to call webbed feet. Notice Addison's feet in the video where you can see them.

Golden Parenting Moments

Several weeks ago, Nate woke up feeling gung-ho on a Saturday morning and decided we were going on a family sledding trip. I was a grump, but went along with it anyway. By the time we found a decent place and got a good trail worn down the kids got snow in their drawers and it was time to go. We had a great time, obviously. Poor Nate! .
