It Must Be a Monday

because I'm still trying to get my groove. I seem to have helpers it would appear doing this and that to help clean. I'm just not going to think about the cleaning I'm going to have to go back and do to clean up from the cleaning. Some little helper in photo 1 below has rearranged my flower arrangement, putting the sunflowers on bottom... for example.







The dynamic duo decided mom needed help in the kitchen and took matters into their own hands.
















We made chocolate no-bake cookies because everyone was craving cookies but I didn't want to turn on the oven since it's already 90 degrees outside.

Don't I know how incoherent all this sounds. It's just how the day is going. A little of this. A little of that and nothing major really getting done. Oh well. BTW below is the recipe for these delicious cookies in case you've misplaced your favorite chocolate cookie recipe...


No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
2 c. sugar
1/4 c. cocoa
1/2 c. milk
1 stick of butter (1/4 c.)
*** Place all the above ingredients in a sauce pan over med. heat and bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes, remove from heat and add...
1 t. vanilla
pinch of salt
1/2 c. peanut butter
3 1/2 c. oatmeal
*** Drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper (or foil works too) and let sit until firm - about 15-20 minutes.
God Love You and Keep You

Man, I'm out of butter and may have to stop by the store tomorrow to pick some up to make these yummy cookies.

I've had a similar day. Did you see my post on organization today? Let's just say about a fifth of my stuff got organized. But, I was busy all day as well doing a little bit of everything and getting nothing done.

Hey, are you in RC? Just say your side bar. I'm in the Washington section up here. :-)

Yes, Betty these cookies eased the restless tribes quite a bit! ;o)

Jen, I am in RC here too! It's wonderful to have such great groups in the Church! Nice to connect with a fellow RC sister :o)
