Day 45: sleepy day

Poor deks had a very sleepy day, falling asleep in places he normally doesn't sleep in!

Day 44:Keelies "style"!

Everyday is a bit of a disagreement with Keelie and her choice of clothes . Now granted she does pretty well dressing herself and match, it's the accessorizing that's a bit out there- and as Keelie will tell you she has style !!

Day 43: so comfy!

Day 42: bowling fun!!

Day 41: curse this rash

So I take photos almost everytime Keelie has a major break out of her rash, when she was just over a year old she got burned on her face- well the rash appears exactly where her scars from the burns are- you can't usually see the scars until now- with this lovely rash . Thankfully the rash thy appears where the scars are doesnt usually get welts or hives with it.

Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. It should have the consistency of play-dough. Allow the dough to come together for an hour at room temperature. 








Then, shape the dough into a log 10 inches long and 2 1/2 inches wide. Roll the log in parchment paper, then roll again in another piece of parchment. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.






Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Cut the log into 1/4 inch slices and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Check the cookies around 17 minutes. They are ready when the centers are slightly firm.
