kitchen silverware



ahhhh yes.

I missed a couple days of college literature and I am now deeply depressed about it. In turn--I am to complete two additional blogs to makeup for what I have missed!

I guess in this blog I will recap on what I did during the snow-day, since it relates to school in that I missed college literature.
On the snow day, I did indeed read Slaughterhouse Five so this is obviously a great topic.
As well as reading SH5, I spent the day with my beloved mother and lover, Thomas. Mother started out the day by shoveling before I even attempted to arise. She then made pancakes for my darling little brother Michael; as well as myself. After I got out of bed I ate a few pancakes and talked to my mother about the tasks ahead of us, who was now resting from all of the work that she had done. We had planned two nights before that we would bake our christmas cookies all day! Mother had already made the dough, as she was so sure that we weren't going to have school.

Thomas arrived soon after, and we got to work on all that we had to do! We rolled out 2 batches of dough and used our holiday cookie cutters to make christmas-like things like snowmen, holly, ornaments, candy canes, stockings, and christmas trees! After we rolled out all of the dough we got on a sort of routine of cutting the dough out, popping them in the oven and repeating it over and over. Although Thomas really didn't do much but bounce on the pilates ball, taunt Tucker the Devil Dog, and watch the random soaps my mother had on tv, he did a great job of being our moral support =) After all of the cookies were cut out, baked, and cooled we got to work on our most challenging task--DECORATING!! =)

We decorated for what seemed to be hours! (But it really wasn't) Mother had bought all different colors and kinds of decorating frostings and cute candies to embellish our treats. Thomas and I worked on cookies sort of in an assembly line way--I would frost a bunch of them quickly while he got to work on decorating them and making them look fantastic. After I would frost the first layer I helped him finish up the details and touches. He turned out to the best decorator out of mother, him and myself. After decorating what seemed to be a million different shapes, designs, and sizes of cookies we took a long break where we watched some television! Overall it was a fantastic day, and I couldn't of asked for a better snow-day! Eating a ton of cookie dough and candy, and being lazy with the ones I love.

Even though it was a fantastic, relaxing, and rewarding day I much rather would have been in college literature!!! (not) hehe. No offense Mr. Kunkle =)


There's one make-up! One down, One to go!! Bye!!

Oh alyssa, you are so funny. I love how in this your refer to your mother as mother. I don't know why but it kind of reminded me of how natatlie calls her mom Gerlyn (sp?). I thought it was cute. I also like how you explained your day in full detail. It made me really excited to start helping my mom frost our Christmas cookies. We are doing that this weekend. However, I'm not sure if my lover, Brandon, will be helping us or not. :) Oh and where was Michael during all of this fun? I hope he didn't make you guys do all of the work yourselves. Well anyway, I thought this was a very cute blog!! And have a great and merry christmas!!
