We’re so busy …
We finally put our tree up last weekend, while Mr. MK put on the lights … I baked 15 dozen cookies to take to a cookie exchange .
I am so not the Betty Crocker type and don’t like to cook/bake ... so this is a BIG deal. These cookies are so easy, I was a little bit embarrassed to take them. I am keeping my fingers x’d they invite me back next year.
We’ve had bit of a flu/cold thing going around.
Poor Sam is home today with a 102 fever and flu, all while recovering from an abscessed tooth.
I turned 40 yesterday – Yahoo! It’s the new 20 you know? Don’t be jealous … you’ll all get there (you hope!) Psst … if you don’t it’s REALLY BAD NEWS!
The only damper on the Birthday fun—> I am still dealing with this!
It’s going to be a lean Christmas here this year! We want to make Christmas less materialistic (not to mention my house is overflowing with JUNK)! Nobody says it better than my friend Heather @ ohmystinkinheck!
***

Sorry about the flu and cold – we had a week of barfing followed by a week of colds. Sigh.
That bag is SWEET!
Runs off to post about it
December 21st, 2007 at 3:38 pm
Ooooh! If I get the bag I’m gonna give it away on my blog. HA! I love those bags!
I’m so sorry there is flu in your house. I got so tired of all the puke and fever going on around here a couple of weeks ago. We’re glad to be on the downhill side of that.
And? Your birthday?! Way to make it to the new 20!! I have 5 more years and I’ll be right there with you.

40 rocks, it really does. You’re just coming into your own. Like fine wine, baby!
December 21st, 2007 at 5:39 pm
That bag is fantastic!
Poor Sam looked how my whole household felt this week. We ALL got sick and it’s been horrendous!
December 21st, 2007 at 5:51 pm
Hi. Never been here before! I think your cookies are perfect and I hope you can enjoy a sickie-free Christmas with your family. And I hope I win the diaper bag! I’ve posted a link on my site, but it’s a private one. Angella can verify it’s there for you if you need. :)
December 21st, 2007 at 5:53 pm
Need. that. bag. Even I have to pay for it! ;-) Why did I have to start discovering all the cute diaper bags when I’m on the third and final kid??
December 21st, 2007 at 5:59 pm
I agree…I NEED that bag PLUS it’s so pretty!
December 21st, 2007 at 6:42 pm
Happy Holidays, Kim. Hope you see the last of the flu very very quickly, and that 2008 will be full of laughter, joy and prosperity! Thanks for picking me again, I love those babylegs, the girls look so stinkin’ cute in them. Ha, I notice you didn’t ask me for my address… burned into your brain already, eh?
December 21st, 2007 at 7:15 pm
Sorry you are dealing with the flu bug with your kids… and still dealing with the other complaint “bug”. shakes head Looking forward to seeing your Holiday pics. All of your photos are always terrific anyways – it will be great to see them with the Holiday spirit!
December 21st, 2007 at 7:27 pm

Sorry your DS has been sick. I came down with pnemonia myself. I thought that was only for old people! LOL

Ugh, sorry the flu bug is visiting your house. Hopefully everyone will be better soon. Happy belated B-day!
I am off to blog about your contest now! I could really use a new diaper bag for baby #2 – the overgrown backpack is getting old ;)
December 21st, 2007 at 9:31 pm
All blogged here: http://www.theangelforever.com/?p=348
December 21st, 2007 at 9:42 pm
I hope Sam feels better soon, and that you have a great Christmas and all!! I posted about your contest on my blog too…the link is here: http://jonathanandandrea.blogspot.com/2007/09/countless-contests.html
December 21st, 2007 at 10:43 pm
Happy Birthday to you!!
Definitely could use a new bag, mine is an old MEC kids bag pack that fits a few cloth diapers, my wet bag and little else!! Then again the thing is indestructible – 10 years old or more and still looks great!
December 21st, 2007 at 11:11 pm
I hope everyone feels better at your house. I’ve got an idea for your cookie exchange next year- http://www.recipezaar.com/52035
Oreo Truffles- so easy to make=) This and dog biscuits to give to my friends are the only holiday baking that I do.
Lean Xmas is great! Less to put away and see littered on the botoom of the toy box later.

I am currently using a pink 9.00 bag from Target that has white & denim striped handles that I bought when Harlie was about 6 months old and she is now over 18 months old.. Okay, Sweets – You KNOW I blogged about you!! Although I didn’t use the link, I copied and pasted part of your post & put your sites all over!! Anything for an online buddy – especially one that gives freebies – haha! (I would do it regardless) Maybe you hypnotize us with those kids of yours’ eyes!! They are all something special!! Sam’s eyes are the darkest blue I have ever seen. Jalyn’s are so light & Sam’s are so dark – it is crazy that blue eyes can have such a big range!! You are gonna have fun with his girlfriends one day :)

Happy birthday
40 is great I am told. Hope you are all healthy and have a merry Christmas. That bag looks awesome
!
December 22nd, 2007 at 2:29 am
Happy Birthday! I hope that your son feels better, poor baby and I hope no one else gets the flu! The cookies look great!! We call those no bakes and we make them practically weekly! my kids and husband cant get enough! while they dont “look” the best, they taste awesome!! Did you put sprinkles in them though?? so festive! I am gonna do that with the next batch! The bag- is awesome! I would love to have that for Hudson
! (well me!, but you know what I mean..hehe)
off to blog about it! Have a very Merry Christmas!

Un échange de biscuits, quelle bonne idée! Je songe à intégrer quelque chose dans le genre pour Noël prochain.
December 22nd, 2007 at 1:16 pm
cute bag!!
The cookie look good and I am sure everyone while like them. I always wanted to do a cookie exchange but I am the only one who bakes so I have no one to trade with :)
December 22nd, 2007 at 3:39 pm
Ohh! I love the bag! I’ll add your linking code to my blog (even though it’s already there). :)
As for the cookies, do not be ashamed!! I went to my kid’s Xmas programs yesterday – we had to bring baking. Some fantastic person brought those cookies just like you made. I think I ate half of them. (New Year’s resolution: work on self-control
)
Happy Belated birthday!!

I’ve heard good things about JuJuBe but never had one before.
Cookies look good enough to eat- that’s all that matters!
December 22nd, 2007 at 4:47 pm
p.s. I’m closer to 40 than 30 now, too. Yikes.
December 22nd, 2007 at 7:42 pm
Hope everyone feels well for Christmas. Those cookies look yummers.
December 22nd, 2007 at 9:19 pm
Happy B’day…love the bag!!
December 22nd, 2007 at 9:42 pm
Jolly Good! I’ve posted it on my blog here : A Bookworm’s Diary
December 23rd, 2007 at 7:36 am
Oh man, sickness AND holidays!! Not good!!
December 23rd, 2007 at 9:40 am
Happy Birthday!
December 23rd, 2007 at 3:30 pm
Cute bag. Mine is plain black and so boring. I hope I win.
December 24th, 2007 at 12:14 am
Those bags look great. I don’t even have a diaper bag I just use what I have handy but I would love ones of those.
December 26th, 2007 at 9:11 pm
The taste of the cookies is what matters. I have had some of the prettiest cookies that made you want to run to the bathroom and spit out all of the offending bits from the inside of your mouth. And then brush your teeth just to be sure you still can’t taste it.
I hope everyone gets over their sickies.
December 29th, 2007 at 1:57 am
I miss you. So I ordered some stuff. Not the same, but we should get together soon. If only so I can enjoy a lovely bowl of soup and glass of water.
I hope the holidays were good to you, in every way.
xoxo

Oh, I LOVE that bag. Not only do I love purple, but I could really use something trendy like that to carry my little guy’s diapers around in. And, with only a little over 2 years to go ‘til I reach “the new 20”, I need all the trendy help I can get.
Sign me up!
January 1st, 2008 at 1:59 pm
Cuteness-we’ve been sick too :( Happy New Year
January 1st, 2008 at 3:53 pm
