So I got thinking about what else I could do that would be productive still (and ignored the good book I'd started that sat on the oh-so-comfy couch).
Zach's birthday is coming up in a few weeks. I totally don't want it to be "just another thing we need to do". I want it to be just as special as if we hadn't just finished moving to a temporary house. I want him to remember it for the things we did, not the things we didn't do this year.
So I did some baking.
I made the "goody" for Zach to bring to school to share with his class. I had it in my head that I wanted to do these cookies (they're smaller and less messy than decorated cupcakes)- even though I had long packed my cookie cutters, and there was no way I could find that box in the abyss we've stacked in the camper. I literally walked into it, turned around once, and walked back out. I would spend more time looking for it (and annoying Dustin when he had to restack it back the way he wants it ;) than it would be worth, so I popped uptown and bought a cheapo one from the dollar store. I'll give it to my mother-in-law now that I'm done with it - I asked to borrow one and she didn't have one. (Everyone needs a pumpkin cookie cutter, right??)
I think they turned out well - and I know Zach will love handing them out!
