What we do...
aka The World's Most Complicated Process to ensure that Mickey Mouse head cookies actually look like Mickey Mouse's head.
1. Buy tubs of chocolate chip cookie dough, because let's get serious, this Mama doesn't even know how to spell Betty Crocker.
2. Consult the internet and best cooks/bakers you know for their input.
3. Take all that input...throw 99.5% of it out the window.
4. Spread dough onto baking sheet.
5. Cut out 6 mouse heads per baking sheet. Mentally note that this takes less than 1/4 of a tub...decide right then not to do the math as to how many times we'd be repeating these steps.
6. Pull off all the extra dough.
7. Bake for 8 minutes.
8. Pull out of oven, recut mouse head.
9. Peel off "cookie crispie" edges. Watch husband and girls devour them. Realize that by losing all your fingerprints from cookie burns you'll never work for the government unless you're a spy.
10. Cook freshly trimmed mouse heads for another 4 minutes.
11. Let cool.
12. Repeat.
13. Repeat.
14. Repeat.
15. Repeat. Notice that tubs are not looking that much more empty after each round of cutting. Ask out loud how many more pans is this gonna take. Hear and pretend to not hear Husband say 6.
16. Repeat. Hear husband say "my momma is the cookie queen!" ... ask why it is that we are making storebought cookies when she is the queen. Husband says I dunno.. just thought this would be one of the memories we'd talk about when we're old and retired, you know, if one of us isn't dead by then. Make mental note to put Grandmama in charge of cookies for any and all events coming forward.
17. Repeat.
18. Repeat minus the commentary.
19. Repeat.

This past Sunday Bowen turned 2 and I can hardly believe it! We'll have her party this weekend since Sunday was only 2 days from when we returned from Costa Rica.
She is our sweet, squishy, sassy, curly-headed girl! Her personality is so dynamic and so entertaining! She really rolls with the punches, until she's made up her mind one way, then its her way or no way!
She is full of spunk and completely her own person!
A few facts about you, Bowen:
She wakes up SUPER happy from her naps and first thing in the morning.
She and Grady have a special bond...they make each other the maddest, but also make each other laugh the hardest. They definitely have their own world together.
Her favorite phrase right now is: Heeey ______ whatcha doin'??
This week she also tickled me by saying "Not yet. Tank you thou"
Favorite Foods: Spaghetti, Cheerios, Gummies, Bananas
Favorite Movies/TV: Boz the Bear, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
Night Time Must Haves: Violet, Blankets, Puppy & Duck, Crocodile, Puppy
Favorite Toys: blocks, baby dolls, cell phone
Favorite Drink: milk
Can Dos: sing her ABCs, count to 20, sing Itsy Bitsy Spider, Jesus Loves Me
We just love her!!
