When Mom's away...

Some of my friends and I went out for a "girls' night out" last night for dinner and a movie. We were out from about 6:30 until after 11:30. We had so much fun and the movie (27 Dresses) was fantastic! Great chick flick! Anyway... I never worry about the kids when I am gone because Joe is very capable of taking care of all of them, but this time he went above and beyond the duties of dad while I was gone. He made the cutest sugar cookies with them and he cleared off and repainted our built-in bookcase while I was gone! What's even more awesome is he thought to take pictures while he was making the cookies with the kids. He knew that would be important to me. He also made me my own SHMILY cookie! Isn't he sweet? :-) Here are the pictures to prove it. Way to go babe! The kids had a lot of fun and the shelf looks great. I really appreciate you. :-)


Ainsley and Carson working hard to make the best cookie.

Hayden's version of making cookies - a crumbled pile ;-)

The cookies are on their way into the oven.

My own personal SHMILY cookie :-)

The painted bookcase. We have big plans for this bookcase, and painting it was the first step to getting our project started. I'll have to post an after picture when we are all done.
