Cookies, Beans, Rice, and Noodles

Today we were bored...what's new? We decided to make cookies. We didn't cook the dough. We just ate it. I've never been one to bake the cookies. When I lived at home, when I was younger, I would make the dough and my mom would bake the cookies. She hated making the dough. So, it worked out perfectly. Now, that my mom's not around, they never end up in the oven. Ohh well. Here's my little helper.

Here's the result. Btw, I ate way too much. Now I have a stomach ache....and of course, heartburn.

We were still bored so I got creative. I pulled all the raw noodles, rice, and beans I could find out of my cupboard and poured them into a big bowl. Then, I put animals, spoons, little cups, ect. into the mixture and let Bryson have a hayday with it. He loved it. It kept him busy for quit a while.

I however wasn't very entertained with it. So, I took pictures. I took a bunch of other cool ones but didn't want to bore you with them.

Who would have guessed this could be so much fun?

    That makes me laugh that your dough never makes it to the oven! And the beans look like fun!

    I have a great recipe for chocolate chip oatmeal cookies that is delicious just as dough. And its great because there are no eggs in the recipe, so no worries about getting sick.

Bryson's Store

Image
We didn't have Family Home Evening last night, so we had it tonight. We made a little store for Bryson to sell candy from {it was his idea this morning}. He was in HEAVEN! Dad brought boxes home from work, bought candy on the way home, then came home and we all made it together. The huggies box is his cash register. And, we used fake money from one of our board games. We'd give Bryson the fake money and then he'd give us some candy. It was SO funny. He kept saying, "This is a fun activity!" {He picked this saying up from grandpa!} Here's the front of his store. Here's the back view of his store. Here's daddy buying his candy. When Bryson thought we had boughten enough candy, he told me to take his spot so he could buy some candy. He's not stupid! Here's a video clip of one of daddy's transactions with Bryson. It's so funny....you have to watch it!

Break Dancer

We went to a wedding on Thursday night. It was a Argentine wedding so they had a ton of music and dancing. Bryson was in heaven. We couldn't get him off the dance floor! I recorded this video off of my phone so the quality isn't very good {because of the low lighing in the place}. But, hopefully, you'll still get the idea. Everyone was break dancing inside a circle. I could tell Bryson wanted to go out on the floor so bad. So, I told him to go do it. And he did. That part is at the very beginning of the video. Then, he went out and danced with everyone else. He had some good moves. I couldn't get too much on video because people kept walking in front of me. But, this should be enough to make you laugh .

Bryson's Girlfriend

Image
Bryson has a little girlfriend at church. They are so cute together {they even look alike}. They stick up for each other in nursery. If a child picks up a toy that Bryson had been playing with, she takes it away from them and tells them it's Bryson's. She is also his first kiss. You go boy!Her dad told us that last sunday she was excited to go to church. She said, "I get to see Bryson today. He's so hansome!" This morning Bryson told me that he loved her, and that they were going to get married in the temple, and give kisses and love. Too cute. We always have to let them play together after church is over because we can't seperate them. So, us parents just stand there and laugh at them. Yesterday they had a fun during their "play time". The were splashing each other with water from the drinking fountain. It was pretty funny. We hope they'll really get married. We'll have to keep in touch with her parents. Ha ha.
