Suddenly I had a burst of domestication. I don't know why. It could be this post or maybe I'm nesting (maybe our kids are just around the corner?) Anyway, I baked cookies yesterday! I used to cook and bake more, but then I had kids and life got busy etc. Lately, I lack successes, maybe the issue of being too busy plays here also.
Ryan always teases Lance telling him that it is his turn to cook dinners because mommy used to cook until Lance was born, therefore it must be Lance's turn.
Another sign that reminded me that I do nothing in the kitchen was yesterday as I went for my mixer that sits on the counter, I noticed cobwebs on the beater. The possible causes of this could be a) We have an unusual amount of very active spiders b) I don't use it very often c) I don't clean. I think it is a combination of b and c.
My boys almost died of shock when they came home from school and saw the cookies. They of course wanted to know the next time I would be baking and can they put in a request.
I just wanted to share my small victory. My hopes and dreams are to be as good as some of my blogging buddies (you know who you are domestication divas, with your good for you foods). For now I'm just happy that my oven still worked.

Yum. Those look so good! I like the thought that your kiddos are right around the corner - that's why you're nesting :)
I am so proud of you ... yummy looking cookies and a clever post to brag about it.
I like your way of thinking Rachel. The closer you get to E. the harder our wait gets. But I'm happy for you of course!
I wish I had something more exciting to brag about. Maybe earning a great scholarship or something else great would be more worthwhile. I only mixed 10 things together and opened the oven door. My posts are getting so pathetic (like my domestic life) that maybe I'll brag about getting my dishes done next time! (I guess I would have to actually do them to talk about it)
The cookies looked very good. From a grandfathers point of view, the fact that the "boys almost died of shock when they came home from school and saw the cookies" is better than any "earning a great scholarship". Love of the kids may not pay the bills, but it has a very lasting wonderful effect on your life.

Your life is exciting and wonderful. And your cookies look great! And your blog was funny :) Especially the link to last year's Thanksgiving dinner. I had forgotten all about that. When I clicked that link and went back to that posting I had to laugh out loud!
You are doing better than I am in the baking department! Lately, I haven't even tried to use my oven for more than just heating up a frozen side dish. Your cookies look delicious!
julie, you are the queen of domestic divaness! here's hoping your little nestlings are just around the corner (and also hoping some of those cookies might make their way to OR??)
also, loved grandpa jc's comment. so sweet! happy weekend!
Thank you for all your kind comments. I wish I could send you all cookies!
Julie, I wish that you could send us all some cookies as well! They look soooo good.
hey julie, just saw your response about not having anything else to brag about --food posts are always fun to read, so brag away. besides, those cookies look scrumptious! hmm...now i wish we had cookies here....
Food is such a "safe" topic because everyone loves to eat.
