Colds and baking....

This past weekend was Thanksgiving weekend and we enjoyed a quiet Thanksgiving with Dan, Jamie, my Mom, myself and the 2 dogs (Miss Izzi and my Moms dog Mini). We had a nice time - packed up Mom with left overs and took her back home. Then a day off before Saturday brunch with my brothers and Mom and Aunt at our place. It was a busy day off preparing for our brunch - but we all enjoyed the time together. 

Sunday was church and recovery at home. Monday was.... Miki has a bad cold and Jamie was her watcher/caretaker/hoverer. 

We had quite the day with me feeling terrible and Jamie wiping things down with Clorox wipes. Izzi on my lap under the covers and me just wanting to sleep. Which was never going to happen. 

Tuesday was another day of sickness still feeling terrible and knowing that we had to make something for church on Wednesday night - as Jamie goes to Choir practice, potluck and bible study. We decided on brownies- I knew it would be as fast as we could do. After a quick lesson in thorough hand washing- we were off.... Pulling out measuring cups and mixing bowls. Pans and spoons. Pre heating the oven... I was coaching and he was doing.

Over all it was not a bad day of learning. It did take 1 1/2 hours to make 12 cupcake size brownies - that would have taken me 10 minutes or less. But- he did it. I was proud. Cold and all!
