The kids are home. They were a little wild at first, but either I'm getting used to it or they are easier than they used to be. I gave them the Rice Krispie treats I'd been saving for them as soon as we got home, I couldn't help myself. That may have contributed to the wild factor. But they started to mellow out around dinner time. I baked off another batch of the sugar cookies. Man, a rolling pin would sure come in handy if I'm going to keep doing this Betty Crocker thing, and I have a feeling I am. As per my first attempt, 80% of them broke coming off the cookie sheet, but I don't care because exactly four came out whole, and they're going to get eaten up tonight anyway, and cracks don't make the yumminess seep out.
According to Alex, their mom never told them that there was a party waiting for them on Friday. She also made a confused face and said none of them cried at the idea of coming back here. They were all bummed when they heard that they missed out on the fun. Next year, my pretties, next year!
