I made cookies for the track team. Tyler requested chocolate chip and white chocolate macadamia nut. I think I over-mixed the batter for the chocolate chip cookies because they came out weird. The white chocolate macadamia nut cookies were REALLY good.
I almost always have m&m candies in the house, but I have replaced them with these Unreal candy coated chocolates. They don't have any artificial ingredients, corn syrup, GMOs, etc. I found them at Target; Reagan and I both think they taste better than m&m candies! I am making an effort to cut out artificial dyes in our food. It is derived from petroleum; that is gross. I actually have a plan to go through my cabinets and throw out everything that has artificial colors in it - sprinkles, Jello, and whatever else I find. I don't think we have too much. I plan on taking a picture and posting it.
Kate has three teeth coming in at the same time in addition to a nose that won't stop running. She had some trouble sleeping, but is doing better. The constant stream of green mucous is kind of gross.
I am now working on the color orange with Kate. I filled a bin with orange things for her to enjoy.
She made her first collage yesterday! I taped a piece of contact paper, sticky side out, to the sliding glass door and gave her little pieces of orange crepe paper streamers, orange pom poms, and orange foam stickers to stick on the contact paper. She did this for the longest time.
Collin missed four days of school last week with this awful virus. He still has a cough, but should be able to go back to school on Tuesday. I'm happy it's a long weekend.
