It's all over now - Thing 3 pulled himself up to the coffee table this morning...and what did he grab just before falling on his little rear? The remote control of course!
Yesterday T1 told me that I need to go get my hair done so I can look pretty again. HMMM. In his defence I had just cut his and hubby's hair and told him how handsome he looked. I think spending a few hours at the beauty salon sitting around reading magazines sounds just fine!
When we were leaving to go see Santa at the local Lewis store T2 exclaimed, "But Mom, why are we going to the North Pole?"
I've been reading Jigsaw Jones mystery books to the Things lately. As we drove by our church they noticed that the sign was painted brown. T2 said, "We have a mystery to solve!" T1 "Yeah, we need to find out who has brown paint!"
They recently requested to put out carrots for the reindeer along with cookies for Santa - I'm going to race hubby for the cookies!
Speaking of cookies, Rose, here is the Molasses Cookie Recipe you asked for. Have fun!
1/2 c softened butter
1/2 c shortening
1 1/2 c sugar, plus more for garnish
1/2 c dark molasses
2 eggs, lightly beaten
4 c flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 1/4 tsp baking soda
2 1/4 tsp ground ginger
1 1/2 tsp ground cloves
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Mix butter and shortening ( or just use butter flavored Crisco like I did). Add sugar and beat until light and fluffy - about 3 min. Mix in molasses and eggs. In another bowl mix dry ingredients and then mix all together. Roll 1 1/2" balls and dip tops in sugar. Place on greased (I never grease mine) sheets and bake at 350 for 11 min. DON'T OVERBAKE or they won't be chewy inside. Makes about 4 dozen.
