Cookie Swap Party

Fun, fun day today. We had our annual Homeschool Cookie swap at Maw's house. We were sad that Sarah & the kids missed out.....Anna was sick & throwing up this morning. Sure didn't need to share those germies around with everyone,but we DID miss them!! Danielle, Alley & Florence came....9 kids & 5 grown-ups made for a house full of FUN! We had piles of yummy cookies to sample & take home.....chocolate chip, M&M, peanut butter, oatmeal raisin, lemon bars, pecan & sugar. And Maw gave each of us the cutest little cookie tins to take our cookies home in. I love the Christmas cookie tins like that.....I keep mine sitting out on the table full of different kinds of cookies during the holidays. Or should I say I 'TRY' to keep them full of cookies.....that's a hard task to accomplish with all these kiddos around! Ha! Talked to Clay a little while ago.....they are staying over one more night at the hunting cabin. The boys are having such a good time! And Michael is bound & determined he IS going to shoot a deer this year. Especially after the fact that Jon killed TWO more!!!! A spike yesterday evening & a doe this morning. I tell ya, that boy is something else! Clay said he even gutted & skinned the whole thing himself....under the watchful eye of Clay & Mason, of course. Jon always talks about building himself a log cabin when he gets older & I can totally see that happening. That just SOUNDS like something that Jon would do! Off to tuck my Alli-girl in bed now & then I'll try & upload & resize some pics from today.
