I don't have time to write a poem! I have so much to do today.
This morning the kids and I baked cutout cookies. I found the recipe through a comment on my friend's blog. I'm happy with the cookies. They are soft, puffy sugar cookies. I prefer them to hard crunchy ones.
I nixed the idea of making my own icing and letting the kids decorate with tips, etc. I asked DH to pick up 2 cans of icing on his way home. They can ice & use sprinkles. Santa will be happy.
I got an status email from job #2 which sent me into a panic. Luckily Backyardigans captured the attention of all 3 kids and I was able to handle it.
I've got the rest of my list to tackle
- wrap presents
- make presents
- laundry
- ice cookies
- bathe children (better put it on the list, lest I forget)
Last night I was able to finish my cowl.
At least that's one less thing on my list. Of course, now that I've got the knitting itch back, I'm sitting here thinking of what I can start knitting next instead doing all of the above. I think it will be a shawl for the school casino night. Is anyone up for a Melon-along?

I think I'm making those cookies today too! It's so funny you mentioned melon - I got out my VLT book yesterday and was just looking at that. I think I'd have to leave off the border, too hard. It's been so long since I've knit I think I need an easy project first, get my knitting mojo back, make sure I can still remember how to cast on.
Have a Merry Christmas! Hope you get your list done!!
Oh, BTW - TWD is accepting people until Jan 1!! You can still join!!!!
