Girls Night In

Last night Zoe and I were a very productive bunch. What does every girl need? Chocolate and crafts.

N has been craving chocolate chip cookies for about a week. It seems that every time I went to make them I was out of some key ingredients. I think flour, eggs and vanilla are important for the cookie baking process. After making sure we had everything, Zoe and I decided to make N some cookies last night. While she wasn't too sure about the touch of flour that she tasted, she is totally hooked on cookie dough.

She's a girl after my own heart.

Since she likes to talk to herself in the oven and the oven gets a bit hot when it's on, we decided we needed a distraction. I had to make a birthday card for a client at work, so we decided on scrapbooking.

Zoe helped get everything out and found a plum colored sheet at the bottom of drawer #3 that would be a perfect canvas for her masterpiece. I found glittery butterfly stickers that she would love.

When I got out my colored pencils to fill in my stamp outlines, she decided she would "color" instead.

These are our masterpieces.



After all the baking and creating, we cuddled in her room before bed. It was the perfect night. I look forward to many more nights in with my girl.
