Nathan and Cookies

I can't recall the last time I have made cookies from scratch. Obviously it has been so long ago that our 4 year old, Nathan, can't remember it either! Here is the conversation I had with Nathan at the grocery store last week:

Mom: Let's make some cookies today.
Nathan: We can't make cookies, Mom. Let's buy some.
Mom: We can make cookies.
Nathan: (thinking) Oh yah, let's get some cookie dough.
Mom: We can make our own cookie dough.
Nathan: (quizzical look) Let's just buy some cookies.

Needless to say we have made many batches of cookies within the past week and have had lots of fun!

Too funny! Really though, why make cookies from scratch when you have ready made dough?

I do, however, want to come over and make cookies with your kids. If I remember correctly, they like oatmeal.

Michelle, I was so glad to get your post on our blog! Even happier to see that you have a blog started...as you can see, I update each month or so. :o) Did you move to Utah? It will be fun to catch up...your family is adorable and so much bigger!! :o)

Welcome to the blogging world. I'm excited to learn what life is like for you guys up there. This story about the cookie dough is too funny. I think my boys would be the exact opposite...they'd think it was strange that we could already buy cookie dough ready to just cook!

Nice blog! It will be fun to have you so close! I was just thinking of you yesterday and that we should get together...I have youth conference this week and girl's camp in two weeks so we will have to figure out a time! :)
