Payton arrived about 7:20 this morning. We had breakfast and Beth thought it was time to introduce Payton to Lucky Charms cereal. He loved it and had 3 bowls with milk. He ate more than his brother. It looked like it was going to rain, so we decided to make cookies for the party tomorrow. Payton and I went to the store for brown sugar and butter and Beth and Kyle worked in the yard. It started to sprinkle as we were coming back from the store and looked like we might get a good soaking, but not. Only a few rain drops and nothing more. So off to making cookies we went. We made chocolate chip and white chocolate chip. I think Payton had a good time making them and loved the taste of cookie dough. But I think he had a better time eating the cookies after they were baked. We had lunch and Payton went down for a nap. Beth cleaned up the kitchen from the cookie mess and had Kyle start on painting the umbrella holders. We could only paint one of them as the cement was still wet and needed to dry first. His first attempt was a little out there as he painted it 3 different colors, so I had him try again and only use one color. Payton got up from his nap and wanted to go to the pool. So off he and Beth went for about an hour. I was dealing with issues with Kyle that caused him to be grounded for 2 weeks. Why 12 year old boys do what they do, I will never understand. Maggie came to pick up the boys around 5pm. We have a busy day getting ready for the gathering tomorrow. Today's pictures are of our cookie making process.
