What a wonderful day in the kitchen. I was looking at some Choco Chip Cookies, but bought a slice of Choco Cake on sale. Yummy. Glad you had some fun time outside with tossing the football.
Since Henri's soccer ball got deflated we are back to the indestructible football, lol!!!
Had a bad day but you cheered me up with your day! Yay! Hugs!

HI Chris, oh WOW what a wonderful baking Fri. My Dad also loved to go fishing, he would get on a charter boat and go deep sea fishing. What kind of fish does Carter catch? Do they eat the fish he catches or does he throw them back? Those cookies look SO yummy, I love t eat them fresh out of the oven, they are so ooey gooey! I love the decorations, is that a Yankee cup? What will your A's say? :P
Have a great evening watching MH Hugs
