The Moll's at Sweet Sky Farm

One of my favorite things to do with the girls is bake cookies. We make homemade chocoloate chip oatmeal, peanut butter, and sugar cookies quite often. Last week we decided to try out a new recipe... lemon zest sugar cookies with egg wash coloring. We had so much fun! The girls loved rolling out the dough and making little "girl" and "heart" shapes with the cookie cutters. But their favorite part was PAINTING COOKIES! Addison couldn't believe it. She asked, "Momma, are we REALLY going to paint cookies?" in somewhat disbelief. It took a bit of explaining for her to understand that she could EAT this "paint" :) Now, every day she asks when we can paint cookies again.

Addison discovered the magic of electricity this January! Her hair is getting so long and she loves to have it washed, blow dried, brushed and braided. But she also LOVES to see it spread out like this!

December and January found our family pretty sick. It started out a few weeks before Christmas, as I wrote about earlier, with a basic cough. That cough turned in to croup, which turned in to borderline pneumonia and bronchitis... yuck! In the midst of that, the girls began to sleep in our room on the couch, which allows their chests/heads to be elevated, allowing them to breathe better than in there own room - and allow Mom and Dad to get to them easier when they awake 5,000 times a night! Though the girls have returned to sleeping in their own room and the sickness has left us, they still love the magic of our couch! Every chance they can, they try to nap on it. The only lingering problem is that Emme keeps falling off of it... and continues to sleep on the floor or cushions that are there to break the fall! Poor thing! As long as she's comfortable, right?!?
