this is why I'll never be skinny.





















(I have mentioned before, I love to bake, not?!) Oh, and then I like to eat too. Bummer, how that works.

Today the youngest 4 helped me to make a double batch of Monster Cookies. (For those less familiar, a single batch calls for 1/2 pound butter, 1 pound brown sugar, 1 1/2 pounds of peanut butter, 1 pound choco chips, 1 pound M&M's, 9 cups oatmeal....to name a few.) It's not for the weak-armed. It's quite a workout just to stir the dough, which I'm certain makes me feel less guilty about indulging in a few.

Anyhow, I'll be busy through nap-time, but hoping to freeze a bunch for next week's end-of-school year treats, etc. But don't worry, we'll have plenty to eat here too!
