Boys in the Kitchen!

The rule (by recommendation from my doctors) has been: No other kids in the house while Mom is on chemo. So my poor kids have had to wait to be invited to play at their friends' houses this summer or just play with each other at home. Well, with this temporary stint of good health I'm enjoying, we invited Noah and Matteo over tonight. The Briscoe family has been such a blessing to us these past few months. JoAnn has called me every few days just to check up on me, and they've had the boys over to play and swim many, many, many times! Their teenage girls have even invited Alana over to swim! What a great family.
I gave the boys free reign in the kitchen tonight and here's what they baked all on their own. Noah and Bryce made peanut butter cookies from scratch, while Matteo and Jared made chocolate cake mix cookies. (A great success, but I won't post a picture of what the kitchen looked like after they got done!)

Oh my, my cookies don't even look that good. I love Joann. I think she's one in a million and always good for a laugh.

Thank you so much, Cheri for having the boys over...they loved it! We love having the boys over and we need to have Alana over more often too! I am so happy that you have been feeling well. I know I have been in and out of town often, but am willing to help ANY time I am in town. You are an inspiration to us all and one fantastic woman. God Bless You!
