can often be reduced
to simple equations
today's problem went something like
this
rainy day
plus
friends over for the afternoon
plus
we're bored!
equals
get in the kitchen a make cookies
and incidentally
that's my kinda math
just sayin
we rifled through the cookbooks
to find our favorite family collection
thumbed the splattered and stained pages
on the hunt
for that no-bake recipe everyone loves
rootled through the cupboards
to be sure the necessary ingredients
and tools
were close to hand
needless to say
the boys
(all 5 of them)
were more interested in continuing
their wii lego star wars thingy game
and happily left the actual concocting
to the girls
which suited me just fine
not gonna lie
the thought of 5 boys in my kitchen
with an open flame
gives me the colly wobbles
little miss and her friend 'curly girl'
took turns carefully measuring
at which point i recalled wondering
if they had done the pre bake hand wash
hmm
some questions are best left
unasked
unanswered
goods were added
one by one
mixing
with total concentration
mothers who help scrape out peanut butter
would do well to take care with cameras
is there such a thing as a peanut butter proof camera?
cuz there should be
since this cookie includes oats and peanut butter
it's healthy-ish
right?
nearly there
waiting for them to firm up
took, like
forevah
at least 10 whole minutes
but in the end
there were two very self satisfied girls
as well they should be
because i can personally attest
the cookies were delish
unfortunately
they're bored again
