What Am I Going to do with These 5 Dozen Cookies?

By Courtney 13 Comments

When you spend your whole Saturday morning baking cookies for a cookie exchange…

IMG_3822

(I totally made these Hot Chocolate Cookies – thanks so much for the recommendation, Julie! They are SO good…and I know have 5 dozen of them in my home).

And photographing endless numbers of “races” so we can see who won…

IMG_3811

And playing game after game of hide and seek…

Only to soon after that discover that the rest of the day would be spent at home…on the floor of the bathroom with one poor kiddo.

It snuck up out of nowhere, but Lucas wound up with a little stomach bug late Saturday afternoon. So I scratched plans for the cookie exchange and two of us spent a good few hours in the bathroom watching shows on the iPad until it was finally safe to relocate to the (covered) couch.

Of course, I immediately “felt sick” once he did, and so did Jay but we weren’t really sure if it was just our minds playing tricks on us or not. We’re actually wondering now if Alex’s little bout last week at night may have been related, so who knows?

All I do know, is Jay is now also down for the count and I still feel off. And I haaaaaate being the (maybe) last one. Am I going to get it? Am I going to be safe? THE. WORST.

So in case you were wondering what we were up to this weekend, this was it. ; )

Here’s hoping that the rest of the week gets better!! P.S., have I mentioned how much I despise “winter” and all the sickness that comes with it??? (sorry, I’m a grump about it!)

    Oh bummer! Hope you all feel better soon! Claire & I are just getting over an upper respiratory thing and it broke my heart to see her not feeling well.

    Ugh - the stomach flu is the WORST - especially when kids aren't old enough to realize what's going on and just puke wherever. I hope you are spared! Thanks for the cookie idea, though - I have to make 6 dozen this Sunday and these look perfect! :)

    Ugh... sorry you guys got hit! Last spring, my kids got it a month apart so we really weren't expecting it again. It's almost better to have it go through everyone all at once -- at least you're prepared!

  • Jay and I had been planning a secret overnight trip to @greatwolflodge for the boys for about a month and a half, and seeing their reaction to the surprise made the wait totally worth it😲(you can see that in my IG stories today!). They swam until their fingers and toes were raisins, played a gazillion games, stayed up way past their bedtimes, and ate like kings.🤗 Aaaaand, now I’m ready to be back home, in my own bed 😴 #greatwolflodge #surprise #familyfun
