PIP: how I kept DS safely entertained for over an hour...

put him out on the deck with a tote full of bird seed and sand box toys. :) I put the baby gate up to keep him contained and propped the back door open. I was able to clean the kitchen top to bottom, all the dishes, and make 3 dozen cookies (Cowboy Cookies-YUM!)

    I love them! They have choc chips, raisins, peanut butter chips, and oatmeal in them.

    Technically you can use 4-5cups of "whatever" in them, but this is how they were first made for me, and DH, DS, and I (and everyone I've shared them with) love them. It's a taste explosion in every bite. :)

    Cowboy Cookies
     
    1 c butter (I use 1 stick marg and 1 stick butter)
    1 c sugar
    1 c brown sugar
    2 eggs
    1 tsp vanilla
    2 c flour
    1 tsp baking soda

    Beat butter, sugar and brown sugar. Add eggs and vanilla. In separate bowl combine flour, soda, salt, and baking powder. Add to butter mixture. Stir in oats and chips. Bake at 350 for 12 minutes.

    hahahaa!!! true true...

    DS still says "mommy! look at my poop pickle" so, if it was full of bird seeds I'd probably pee my pants laughing at what he'd say. :)

    -- oh, and he always clarifies to me, "we don't eat poop pickles Mommy. they are yucky. They will make you sick." bahahaha
