No More Cookies in the Cookie Jar. Updated!

Do you remember that game growing up?

Who took the cookie from the cookie jar?

Krissi took the cookie from the cookie jar.

Who me, couldn't be. Brent took the cookie from the cookie jar.

Eventually you run out of people and say. "No more cookies in the cookie jar."

Well at my house I have two very cute cookie jars. After I get home from work today I will prove it to you. However, with this whole not eating sugar non-sense I have started there are no cookies in the cookie jar.

Yes it is the Christmas season and SOMEBODY decided that eating no sugar was a good idea.

Who was that somebody? Somebody remind me, oh yeah, it was me.

Well regardless of whose idea it was. One result has been, "No More Cookies in the Cookie Jar."

So here is my big, big, big question, I need your help.

What do you put in a cookie jar. When there are no cookies?

Krissi took the cookies from the cookie jar. Yes it was me I admit it now what do I do?

The Before Mentioned Cookieless Cookie Jars

Isn't he cute don't you just want to eat some hot chocolate and a snicker doodle cookie, right now?

While taking his picture this guy told me that he is in need of some sugar cookies. I told him that I really liked the tangerine idea. He said that he really like the idea of some sugar cookies. Maybe I will have to invest in that mousetrap idea.

You all have made some great suggestions. However, I have to say being as I have a huge bowl of tangerines and there is nothing my family likes more this time of year then oranges. I will have to go with my friend from Denmark idea and use them for tangerine storage.

I was going to suggest sugar free candies, but if you're reforming your eating more snacks won't help you! So I'm out of ideas now..

Put a mousetrap in there, and hope that you remember your sugar diet before you dive in for cookies.

Put all the tangerines in there which can fit. They smell and taste good :-) And in Denmark they are the definite smell of Xmas.

You can do what Ron had always wanted Sharon to do with her candy and cookie jars, put carrots and celery sticks in them. Then you'd have to put it in to fridge.

I love the tangerine idea. You could also put christmas scented potpourri or pine cones in it. I'm sure it wouldn't taste very good; so it wouldn't be a temptation.

I say puppy cookies. Then the jars are used for their intended purpose, you wont be tempted (unless like my brother you have sampled Milkbone and enjoy them [and yes, he really ate the Milkbone brand dog snacks]), and your dog will love you even more!

However, since you have already setteled on the tangerine idea, I suppose my suggestions are moot. --Gosh, I hope that is a proper spelling of moot... how sad that I can't even spell 4 letter words. And no, that wasn't a comentary on my inability to spell curse words... I can spell those like nobody's business. And yes, I know that it isn't proper to beging sentences with "and." Shoot, now I am rambling...

I was just browsing other blogs. And do you know what I like about yours? I like that you're real. I just read one that was all like "and then I fed the baby, and then I read the scriptures with her, and then I made scrumptious candies for the ward party, and then I got dolled up for my husband..." I almost barfed on myself. I like that you are real person.

By "we", I mean we, the neighborhood people. Okay, I need to stop commenting now.

Oh, and these "other blogs" are not anybody we know. It's a girl from high school, who has apparently turned into the most perfect Mormon wife on the planet.

At my Age

I saw this quote the other day and had to smile. It has been interesting finishing school at my age. I have had this feeling more than once that I am a little old, and finishing school is something I should have done a long time ago. Usually I remind myself that we all have our own paths to take in life. My path had me marry at 19 and become the mother of four beautiful rug rats by 27. Marriage and children defined me more than anything. I became more aware of my talents and abilities. I really didn't know who I was before I became a wife and mother. Waiting until now to finish my degree gave me time to figure out who I am. Well, at least to have a better idea of who I am. I love being in a classroom, I love learning, and I love helping others learn. My inner nerd does little happy dances every time I learn something new. Each person on this planet has their own God given talents. We have a responsibility to find our talents and to make the world a better place. How old you are wh...

Pinewood Derby or Bust!

If there is one thing that Brent and I both agree on.  One thing that we both believe is essential to the proper development, growth, and raising of a son. That no boyhood would be complete with out.  It would be participation in the Pinewood Derby.   Yes, on this one thing Brent and I are in total agreement.  A boyhood is not a true boyhood until a boy has built a pinewood derby car and then competed in a pinewood derby.  It is that important!  I'm sorry if you have never had the opportunity to live in a house filled with the air of pinewood derby. If you have never had the opportunity of watching a father stand to the side as his son uses HIS power tools. The opportunity to take a chunk of wood and see that inside the wood is the makings of a CAR.   You wonder why men are so obsessed with cars, with how there made, and how fast they go.  Well if you have ever brought home a pinewood derby box kit to a home with boys and men all your questions would be answered. Once the car is b...

S. is now 11 years old and is counting down the days until she turns 12. She is in the fifth grade and says math is her favorite subject. She stays pretty busy with swimming and soccer. This past year in addition to a regular AYSO team she has been competing on an All Star Team. She has really enjoyed it and is really looking forward to a tournament that will take place in Hawaii this July. She still loves swimming and is still competing when she can. A. is 9 years old and is the professor of the house.  He is our silent man whose brain is in constant motion.  He reads and reads and reads and soon will read me out of house and home.  He enjoys video and computer games, and he loves playing sports.  In January he made the city swim team and continues to play soccer, basketball, and anything that I let him.  Al will soon be eight.  As in next week soon.  The best part of school she says is 3:25 when pressed for a better answer than that she say...
