baking cookies and reading day

On Wednesday Clarissa and Ammon had their last day of school–surprise! I really should read that darn school calendar beforehand.

I actually did not feel great on Wednesday and so spent much of the day in bed reading my books, Gay Rights and the Mormon Church by Greg Prince, Essential France by Fodor’s Travel, A Year in Provence by Peter Mayle, and The Anatomy of Peace by the Arbinger Institute. I am reading them all simultaneously because I can’t figure out which one I like the best. I love them all.

And then I finished making some sub-standard zimmsterne, and I let Mary bake Choon’s ginger snaps all by herself. Well, Clarissa helped. 🙂

After dinner (we ordered Thai food because I was in bed reading instead of attending to my domestic duties) I read with the little kids while Lydia and Mary both read Calvin and Hobbes. If it hadn’t involved sore throats and stomachaches, this would have been my favorite kind of day. Even still, it came close!
Abe took this adorable picture of Basil too!
