"A Day in the Life" or "Fire Drill!"

Robert was going away again, so I decided that we would have some fun without him. (Well, you know, not "without" him, per se, but "in his absence.")
We made sugar cookies. Enoch only destroyed one.

Mommy did a little bit of a better job.

Yes, the smoke alarm went on, and we left the building like a good little family should. The baby even woke up for it--we couldn't just leave her inside of a potentially burning building--even on such a cold night.

You can bet we watched the rest of the cookies more closely.

Of course. . . maybe the cookies weren't what needed watching. . . .
