Like a Baker

Today was our Cookie Making Day. Tomorrow is our CRK/Mom's Club get together and we were making cookies for everyone for Valentine's Day. We bought all the stuff needed like cookie cutters, special glitter icing and sprinkles! Chelsea only cares about eatting the dough instead of cutting them out or decorating them. So I had to do all the fun stuff and she just ate them! They turned out beautifully I think. And we both got the best of the cookie world!!!

There was another act of nudity in our house today...from the same little boy!!! He has now figured out how to strip down so I find him running around here like an exhibitionist. GAH. Other than that and standing on my feet for hours to get these cookies done so the icing would be hard enough to bag them tonight, there hasn't been much else going on. I'm just bored out of my mind staying in this house all the time. During the day it isn't so bad because it's just me and the kids here. But around 4 or 5 Ray comes in and then Ellie is usually next home and then John. It just gets old having to stay in someone elses house all the time. Chelsea has been told numerous times today to stay out of this or don't do that and I get tired of hearing someone who doesn't really care about her tell her to do things or not do things.

We get to pick orders this Wednesday and I'm excited to see what will be open and what John will put in for. I'm sure he will pick Washington as his first pick and maybe even his second and third if there are enough openings. I was hoping for Japan and I'm sure there will be tons open for there since most military people don't pick overseas, for whatever reason. I know that the opportunity wont come around again for us to live overseas and I am excited to possibly get the chance to have our kids live some place where most people aren't able. But we wont be able to know for sure where we get to go for another month at least. Hopefully we'll know something soon since we are going in sooner than expected! I'm really nervous about John being resentful if we get to go to Japan. He has voiced his thoughts about not wanting to go anywhere other than WA but knows how unrealistic it is to expect that he will really get it especially since there aren't many spots open for his job there. But when we talked about coming from San Diego to here I said I wanted it for our kids because our parents were old and we wouldn't be able to come home that often.

So until another day......
