Recreation is a tiring business.
Also, there are some things you have to do that aren't fun, no matter what, when you're the mom. So a lot of the time yesterday was spent going to Costco, baking bread, ironing, doing the laundry and scrubbing blood out of the carpet after Mark gave his friend a bloody nose. And then there was walking down the street to confess my son's deed to the friend's parents...
We were going to go to Jetty Island yesterday or "the jetty" as Adam and his family call it but I was corrected in a very disparaging tone by someone so I'll call it Jetty Island. The weather didn't seem beach worthy though so we made sugar cookies instead.
There's something about making sugar cookies in August. There's no holiday you have to conform to so you can cut out gingerbread man shapes, hearts and fall leaves with abandon. Easter chicks and acorns and stars jockeyed for position on the cookie sheets then we decorated them all garishly with pastel icing and sprinkles...lots of sprinkles.

You made our family hungry with the sugar cookies. We love to make them and eat them. Love the letter cookie cutter, I need to invest in them. You had a quite adventures camp week. Thanks for sharing all you fun ideas. Love your blog and friendship Thelma.
