Photos: This week...cookies, cupcakes and a rainbow oh my

I know I already shared this.  But I baked a lot of cookies this week.  



Rowen fits into the next size up of the onesies from the Baby Shower.
C is for Cupcake designed by Auntie Ange!


I made wontons.  Well, I made the filling and cheated with store-bought wraps.


Rowen discovers and is fascinated by the pockets on her pink "hot day" romper.


Just standing around, chewing on my fingers, waiting for Daddy to wake up....wearing a drum set onesie designed by Daddy.


Visited Katelyn on the Friday before her Monday due date!  Still no Baby Boy yet as far as I'm aware...but no text responses tonight could also mean Baby Time!

Katelyn also made Rowen an amazing cupcake blanket.  I still have to get some better photos of it as Rowen is trying to eat it in all the blurry photos that I managed.  Go to Katelyn's Blog to see photos of the most amazing cupcake blanket! It's so pretty and I can't get over the fact that she made it!


Found Bean sleeping under Rowen in her crib


Got caught in a crrraaaaazy sunshower/thunderstorm driving with the Baby after Meghan's Bridal Shower on Sunday.  Saw a pretty rainbow afterwards though!

Baking Cookies

I think it's a pretty well known fact that I LOVE COOKIES!  

This past week I've been into baking chocolate chip cookies.  I've done two different batches.  I'm trying to "invent" my own cakey-chewy type chocolate chip cookies, because those are my favourite kind and I'm a weirdo who can't follow recipes.

Baking is also kinda relaxing for me.  I hate the clean up but I love the process and the eating.  Is there anything better than a fresh gooey chocolate chip cookie with a glass of (almond) milk?  












So here's a funny story.  Remember how I mentioned that we live in a small space?  Well, now that Rowen is in her Big Girl crib, her "room" is the one corner of the living room that isn't windowed.  

After Rowen went to sleep tonight, I wanted to make some cookies but I was afraid that turning on my hand mixer would wake her.  So I measured out all my ingredients into different bowls in the kitchen, brought everything into the bathroom and made cookies there!   I went back to the kitchen after after the mixing part was done....it felt kinda goofy, but it worked!  

Plus, it's very likely that my bathroom is cleaner than the kitchen.  But that's gross so don't tell anyone....
