Today I dropped Brandt off at Preschool and Alivia and I went grocery shopping. It's always a experience or something always happens when I take Alivia, never fails. Sure enough we were at the meat counter and I saw a rotisserie chicken cooking away, and thought that sounded good and "easy" for dinner tonight. So after I picked up my other meat and chicken off we went to keep shopping, sure enough, Alivia starting yelling "CHICKEN!!!!!" At this point I thought she was just expressing to me that it was chicken and so I said, "yes, your right Alivia, that is chicken". I continued to keep pushing her down the aisles and before you know it she started to SHRIEK that word again... "CHICKEN!" At this point, I caught on and knew that she wanted me to feed her chicken in the store "RIGHT NOW"! I was thinking this is a disaster, I can't feed her chicken, first of all it's 9:30 a.m., second of all what a greasy mess that would be, third of all could you imagine the looks I would get if I started to give her the chicken, ha! Anyways I told her nicely "no Alivia, we can't have chicken until dinner tonight." You won't believe what happened next, to my surprise she took that "no" like a champ and we went on our way. This usually doesn't happen at all, she usually has her mind set and doesn't let it go, I think this is a sign that she is no longer a baby but a "BIG GIRL". Phew, thank goodness she took that like a champ, I HATE being the Mom with the screaming kid in the grocery store, but when that happens we run to the aisle with the fruit snacks, ha ha(not kidding!) and all is good as long as her mouth is full of sugar!
After we had lunch and I was putting groceries away I came upon some flamingos in my pantry, flamingo sugar cookies that is. I had forgotten that I had them in there and I needed to make them since they have been in the pantry since last fall. Who doesn't want flamingo cookies in Spring, which is still kinda winter because mother nature thinks we need all of the snow now that it's suppose to be Spring:)
Anyways.. here are my flamingo cookies, too bad I don't have a beach to go with them......
Cute right? Well let me tell you that today I have decided to retire from making sugar cookies with shapes. As long as they aren't shapes I am good. I have the hardest time making the dough work for me and keeping the shape all together before I even bake them, call me crazy, but it just doesn't work well for me. Can you tell? lol... look at the flamingo in the lower right corner, he looks like he has a "butt" problem, don't you think? Well actually quite a few of them look like that, ha ha! Anyways... I will leave the sugar cookie making to my Mother-in-Law and my kids, they love to help her make them and she makes them all the time:)
This is what was going on this afternoon after nap time.....
Where's Brandt? Can you find him?
And here is what was going on tonight.......
