I’m finally feeling more like my energetic self after spending several days in bed sick. There’s NOTHING like being sick to make you appreciate being not sick. I’m very thankful to be not sick.
With my energy being back, I spent a good part of the weekend cooking and baking. (And doing dishes.) What a big floury mess I was. I even went a little over-crazy and made this snowman when I was making whole wheat donuts Saturday morning.
He needs eyes and a nose…
but the kids thought he was pretty cute anyway.
