Lazy Sunday

Today was one of those laid back and relax kind of days. Both Cory and Joshua seem to have colds (Cory's being nastier than Joshua's). Anyway, with a yucky nose and a slight cough I didn't want to put Joshua in nursery today at church and expose all the other kids because I HATE when sick kids are in there and give their germs to him! So, we ran to our favorite Target this morning to get some decongestant and a few other items and then spent the rest of the day being lazy. This afternoon Cory decided to add a shelf for more storage in our mechanical room so in order to keep Joshua out of his way and keep him occupied I decided to make cookies with him. We mixed the dough up and then rolled it out to cut out hearts. Joshua loved trying to roll out the dough and had a blast cutting out cookies - he ended up with his own little section of dough in which he just kept pushing the cookie cutter down and picking it up. He also enjoyed putting sprinkles on the cookies. By the end it looked like Joshua was wearing more of the ingredients than were in the cookies, but hey the big thing is that he had fun! He was also a big helper when it came to clean up time - he loves playing in water so he was in charge of rinsing the dishes. He also had a good time eating the fruits of our labor! I only captured a few pictures and none of Joshua actually making the cookies because I feared that if I had a camera in my hands that would be the time he would dump something or knock something over.

Being a helper by rinsing the dishes.


YUM!!!!
