She started begging to go out and play with her friends before lunch but I put her off. You see if she plays outside I have to go out with her and of course take Tommy. This is only a problem because it's so hot outside. I don't like it being so hot and Tommy just can't take it for long at all.
Then we had lunch and then nap-time. She didn't want to take a nap so she hid under her bed, of
course laying still under her bed caused her to fall asleep. So, she took a nap under her bed today. I thought it was pretty funny so I got a flashlight out and took the picture.I was in a baking mood I wanted to make cookies and bread and anything warm and delicious right out of the oven.Of course I had to feed Tommy first.
Next I put him in our baby carrier and started making my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe. I havn't made any since I was in Utah and was crossing my fingers in hopes that the altitude change wouldn't ruin them. (The altitude change makes a big difference on corn bread.)
Well, the cookies turn out great! I only wish I could munch on them all night.
When Clare got up she enjoyed a little cookie dough then asked if she could show the cookies to her friends. There was no way I could say no. Kids should go outside and play in the sun with thier friends and share cookies. I told her we could share our cookies.
We nocked on our neighbors door and everyone got a cookie. Funny thing, Clare didn't want any. But then they all played with chalk, then paper then on of the older kids folded an airplane. So I began to show Clare how to fold an airplane.
From there it morphed into five other children sitting just inside the door while I gave two lessons on how to fold a basic paper airplane. It was a lot of fun. I really enjoy having so many kids around. It will be a thing I miss and Clare will miss when we get a house again someday.
You know I really expected to stick my head out the door latter and see ten or so paper planes on the ground. But when I looked out the ground was miraculously clean. I'm always amazed at what these kids are excited about. Chalk, paper airplane, jumpropes, any and all balls.
Are all kids like this or is it just the ones who live near me?
