I love this weather.

Windy, cool, right before the rain. Fast-moving clouds. Spooky moon. Can't beat it. I can sit outside for hours.

I still believe in fairies.

The girl lost a canine tooth today. She came home, proudly showed me the tooth, and said, "How much money will I get for this... MOM? Huh, MOM?"

This made me sad. I mean, I still believe in the tooth fairy, why shouldn't she? I promptly told her that I didn't know what she was talking about, and if she didn't believe in fairies, I guess she wouldn't get any money.

So, when the tooth fairy came to visit, she found a note:

Dear Tooth Fairy, I'm sorry I thought you were mom. I ♥ U.

Much better.

I'm baaaack. With cookies.

So, this new year's resolution isn't working out so well. At least I'm back, even if I'm not consistent... never give up!

I'm trying to figure out how to get rid of some yummy cookies that are sitting in my kitchen. The kids wanted to make them, so we did. Why is it that the kids always pick out the recipes that are the WORST for the diet??? These are marshmallow-chocolate-chocolate-chip awesome cookies. I've made them before. Each time, I've posted pictures on flickr. You think we like them?

Speaking of the diet (while I eye the cookies and DON'T eat them)... I have lost 12 lbs and have plateaued, so I'm glad I'm blogging right now instead of eating.
