"Mom, I'm so sinky"

Children really are adorable...but sometimes trying to figure out what they are trying to tell/ask you is so complicated....and then, just plain hilarious.

Heidi just came to me and said, "Mom I'm so sinky." Of course, I respond, "You're stinky? Do you need a bath?"

She says, "No,mom, I'm sinky."

Me..."You're sinking?"

"No, I need a sink," which is how she pronounces DRINK.

"Oh, you're thirsty...." LOL.

Last night we busied ourselves making gingerbread and sugar cookie dough. Our cookies may not look as pretty, but they taste delicious and I would recommend the recipes above!

A hint...before refrigerating your dough, divide it and put it in freezer size ziploc bags and roll it out in the bag...the kids can help, it stacks well, and is ready to go when you are - plus it cuts down on flour mess.


Today we did the cutting and baking....

A little eggnog break...

...and the decorating...whew, an all day project.


Voila!


We also made Holiday Eggnog. It's delicious, recipe courtesy of a family from our small group. I would say it is more milknog, than eggnog, but man, it's good nog and you'll have to spike it to your liking, as the recipe is kid (and breastfeeding/preggo mama) friendly!
RECIPE UPDATE: On my second batch I added a third egg to the mix...it seems perfect and a bit more eggnoggy without being overwhelming...HTH!
