Here's to making things easier!

Well it finally occurred to me that it was the holiday season and I wanted to be baking and making goodies. My very wise sister-in-law clued me into making gingerbread cookies with a mix. Whenever I've made them by hand it has always taken so long and been so messy and hard on my mixer and ultimately, the cookies aren't even that tasty. Well, sitting in my fridge right now is a batch of dough waiting for the kids to come home and roll and cut and it took me two or three minutes to throw together. Yeah!

Goose is trying to get Boon Dog in his crate. I don't think he believes that he has to obey her. He is amazingly patient with her poking and prodding. I think I just heard her tell that something was disgusting. Hmmm. Maybe I should check it out. . . .

Janey is trying out for a part in the Cinderella play today. She has no fear on stage and I have to say that she is adorable when she's performing. I was going to wonder where it comes from but her Dad is the biggest ham I know. The boys are fun. I am so grateful that they are good friends.

Beulah is enjoying her new haircut. She has to say she doesn't like it, occasionally, just so she's not bragging, but I know she knows she cute.
