No, I haven't fallen off the face of the earth...(wonder where that phrase came from??). I've just been busy reacquainting myself with home. Not even going to go into that, actually. Except to say that it really is good to be home.
The twins were here this past weekend, too. We had a ton of fun. I can't believe how they've changed since last November...they're two-year-old bundles of energy.
They LOVE the lake and wanted to run around outside. So their dad and "Poppa" trotted dutifully behind them to make sure they didn't fall in. It was nippy out there and I opted to stay indoors.
We baked cookies, the twins and I. Chocolate chip cookies from the recipe off the Nestle Toll House Morsels package. That's a great recipe.
I measured out each ingredient and divided them into two little bowls so that each twin could help. They stood on chairs on one side of the peninsula in the kitchen and I stood on the other side with the mixing bowl and electric mixer. First I beat the butter and sugar and then had the twins add the rest of the ingredients - each taking a turn at dumping whatever it was into the mixing bowl. They were fascinated and took their jobs very seriously.
I turned the oven light on and they sat on little stools to watch the magic happen. Then we ate the cookies, of course. And they took a bag of them home.
All in all a very rewarding weekend. By the way, that's a picture of the cloud bank that moved over the lake and brought chilly temperatures. It looked better "in person".
