This and That

It's really very cool that the schools here in Portugal will allow you to bring a cake and celebrate your kids birthday. Brooklyn wanted me to make a giant cookie for her birthday party, but I had to make two of them because those kids LOVE my desserts! It's the sugar....the desserts here in Portugal aren't nearly as sweet as the ones we Americans make!





I always try to make something different. The kids loved the giant cookie. They said they'd never seen a cookie so big!






We celebrated mother's day the same day as you guys did in the States. Here are a few pictures from Mother's day at church.








This week has been so nice. The weather is absolutely beautiful! I'm having a hard time staying indoors.

However, I'm mothering a very sick boy that has the chicken pox....he is so pitiful. Would you say a prayer for him?



Hope you guys are enjoying your week......

I feel SO bad for your baby. I have been praying for him. I hope they don't last too long. Thankfully your other kids had the shot and won't get it. Glad your weather is great. The cookies look scrumptious!

Wow, he really has a big case of the pox. Praying he comes out of it soon. Love the bog cookie....nothing like a sugar fix to please the kiddos.
