the rest of our day...

so after i went to the parent-teacher conference (where mr. shelby said he was already getting sad thinking about june when mckinlee would not be in his class anymore) we went to freddy's for lunch. it's mckinlee's favorite place and after such a good report from her teacher, i thought she deserved it.
we had this. these are absolutely my favorite french fries! this was my first burger, fries and pepsi since our cleanse. it sure was tasty~~but i didn't feel so good later :(
of course after our lunch we had to get some custard. vanilla with heath bar for mckinlee and plain chocolate for me. yum-yum!

then we went home and did this...
we had made the dough the night before and put it in the fridge to chill. you know how i hate the feel of flour, so mck gladly volunteered to do all the dirty work. this sugar cookie recipe came with the good tip of putting balls of dough in wax paper (all i had was foil), rolling it out and stacking them in the fridge. then you just get out one section at a time, pull one piece of foil off, flour it, turn it over, flour it again and cut out the cookies. very easy and much less messy!
we made plain ones, crystal ones and sprinkle ones.
then came the fun part...frosting them!
here's the little baker.

and here's the finished product. mck kept saying she was having so much fun. a good way to spend a day off.

(and if you're wondering, yes, they taste as good as they look.)
