Happy "Really Is" Day

My mother always calls the day after Daylight Savings Time (or, as in the case, the ending of it) "Really Is" Day, because people will say things like, "It is 7am, but it really is 8am."

This morning, I knew Charlie was awake because he was in his room singing "I Write the Songs",* and I was thinking (while laughing) that I hope I can give him the kind of life where he always wakes up singing.




*Because it is on his electronic piano, not because we're secretly Barry Mannilow fans or anything.

Witch Hat Cookies

I made cookies for Charlie's school party tomorrow, and I thought I'd share.

Here they are:


Probably the easiest cookie to make - take a bunch of Keebler Fudge Stripe cookies, and turn them over so the stripe part is at the bottom.

Then get a bag of Hershey Kisses. Unwrap a bunch of the kisses, then place them over the hole on the cookie.

Then get a red icing tube thingy, (remembering that you have to buy a tip seperately, because I totally forgot that last year) and 'glue' the kiss to the cookie as see in the photo.

And totally bake-free cookies. And everyone likes them. And they look cool.

I meant to mention yesterday that there was this little girl at the party who I think really thought I was Snow White. She kept staring at me with these big eyes, and called me Snow White, and hugged me a lot. It was so sweet. Made my day.

Am going to try to nap now. Have a cold. Tragic, no?
