Honey Cookies

Yum,

nothing better than home baked goodies. Lucas and I made the dough for these cookies yesterday, but didnt get a chance to roll them out, bake them and decorate.

So my 2 big boys did it this morning.

Hi All,

Well there is yet again no sleep happening in our home, poor Lucas has developed another infection in the ear that still has the grommet and glue ear in the one that lost its grommet!! so more antibiotics. It is making for a very tired, grumpy family at the moment.

So after reading Maree's post yesterday about having whingy kids and baking cookies, we did the same at 7.15 this morning!! LOL
