Sugar Cookie Heaven!

You all know of my deep devotion to cookies. And lucky me I have passed it on to my boys. Especially Jackson. He loves them almost as much as I do. And so lucky us. . . a wonderful new friend has moved to Pittsburgh named Libby Miracle. Libby has become my other half these last few weeks. And I have loved every second of it. So have my boys. They wake up asking about her. Should that hurt my feelings? :) The other day, Libby invited us over to her house to make sugar cookies with the boys. She has that very fun and cute set from William-Sonoma cookie cutters. Trains, buses, planes, rockets, cars. And the sprinkles to match. Jackson was in HEAVEN!Libby let the boys do so much. Actually, Noah mostly wanted to just walk around with the cookie cutters while Jackson and Libby were busy at work in the kitchen. And then Noah was focused on eating the cookie dough. My blood flows thick through his body! :)One of the best moments of the day was thanks to Jackson. Libby was getting all ready to roll the dough. The cutters were out and Jackson and Noah were so excited. It was finally time!!!! They were grabbing at the different ones and Jackson of course thought he needed to hold all of them. Even if that meant shoving a few under his neck. You have all seen him master that trick at practically birth. I have no doubt that he could carry around 15 cars at once, using his hands and neck. Easily. So, in all the commotion of grabbing and snagging, Noah seemed to have taken hold of a cookie cutter that Jackson had already taken dibs on. First, is was anger, then quickly tears. He has mastered that trick as well. Not cute! And then Noah decided he was done tormenting his brother and gave the cutter back. Jackson follows with this. "Ohhhh Noah. He is such a cute giver-backer!" Libby and I looked at each other and started laughing out loud. It was a classic one that I will not forget. If you can hear Jackson's voice in your head, then you should be laughing too.So, after a long process of making delicious sugar cookies, and no naps, we headed home. I am sure Libby was thankful to have it all end. Talk about a dose of birth control. Noah with no nap=NIGHTMARE! There is nothing more to say about that.We drove home, (Libby lives only a few blocks away) and got ready to have the babysitter come over while Jason, Libby, Jeff and I all went to PF Changs for Jason's birthday. It was great.Thanks Libby for having us over. Sorry about the mess we made, and the screaming 2 year old and the crying 3 year old. That will teach you to invite us over. :) Jackson is still talking about that "special day at Libby's." We are so glad you live here!
