A Fountain

OK people, so I have had the cutest ideas for posts for every day this week, but I was sooo super busy each night that I couldn't get it done. Until tonight. This is the first post of 4 that are new tonight... make sure you check them all out. I'm dressing Keelyn in all her Christmas outfits this week... with matching hairbows... cutest thing EVER!!!

Sooo... here we go with a recap of why I couldn't post until now.

On Monday night, I made these guys


Look at 'em. They're like a little army. An army of kisses.

Don't mind my arm shadow :)

Monday was a rough day for poor Keelyn. She was very fussy for Holly, and was even more fussy for us! She WAILED any time she was put on her back. It was not pretty. I finally gave her some Tylenol at 9:30 to help her sleep. She just seemed like she was in so much pain! Made me want to cry ;(

On Tuesday, I told Holly all about her bad night, and we both thought the same thing... ear infection. So, I called Sean to tell him about it and being Daddy of the Year, he took off the afternoon and took Keelyn to the doctor. The result? No ear infection! Thank goodness. She was apparently having a bad day. Poor thing. Sean also went to the doctor for him b/c he started to not feel well. Poor thing. The result for him? Not sick.

Tuesday night, I started preparing my famous Snickers cookies. For those of you who haven't had them, let me tell you that they are DELICIOUS!!!

I prepared 105 of the lil' guys... then I ran out of Snickers'. Shoot. But hey... preparing them is the hardest part, so I got most if it done.

Tonight, I finished preparing them and got to bake them. I baked 151 cookies in 2 hours. Impressive, huh? I thought so.

Take a look at them all... lined up so nicely...

Once I had the cookies all baked, it was time to melt some chocolate. Double boiler style.

Then I dumped the melted chocolate into a ziploc baggie for my DIY piping bag. Clip the tip and go to down drizzling chocolate over the cookies...

MMmmmm....yummy.

Once done with the chocolate drizzle, it's time to sift some powdered sugar on top. Don't they look to die for????????

Close-up...


Do they make you want to reach out and grab one???

They do me!!

So there you have it. My reason for not blogging the past few nights. Tomorrow night brings the cutting out, baking & decorating sugar cookies, then I'll be done.

Are you wondering why I've titled this post "A Fountain"? Well... due to my counter being overtaken by tasty treats, I was unable to lay Keelyn's towel on it for her bath. So Sean helped me out by holding Keelyn while I got her undressed. See where this is headed? Yep. She pretended she was a fountain... and peed... all over Sean... and my couch!!!!! Was she done? OH NO!!! Once she was done with her bath and I was drying her off, she turned her fountain back on and peed on me. Hmmm.... maybe that's why those old ladies were calling her a boy at the craft show...

Oh well. OK, now scroll through the next few posts to see Keelyn's Christmas outfits of the week so far. TONS of super cute pictures of her!!!
