Earth Day Cookies

So, I love to bake.  I look for any excuse to bake.  It was a sunny day?  Le'ts bake.  It's raining?  Let's bake.  You get the idea.  Well this year we (ok, I) wanted to bake cookies that looked like the Earth.  Very simple to do.

Grab your favorite sugar cookie reciepe.  I wanted to use my mom's sugar cookie reciepe, but I didn't have all the ingredents so I settled for a different one.


Make your sugar cookies,  divide cookie mix into three different bowls.  Leave one white, color one blue, and the other one green. 
to make the cookies, take a bit of each color and mix them together and roll into a ball.  Place on cookie sheet and flatten.  and above is the end results!

I just realized...

I never wrote about our trip to Camden Adventure.

So we met up with a friend at Camden Adventure to see the sharks and sea turtles.  We have season passes and I wanted to use them one last time before they expired at the end of this month.  We normally don't go on the weekends, but we were showing our house and needed to be out of it.
When we got there, there was a rather large tour group there.  We managed to stay out of their way for the most part.
The girls were getting their face painted when a young lady from the tour group asked if she took take a picture of the face painting hut.  I thought she was being very thoughtful to ask since K would be in the picture..................oh was I wrong.  She jumps behind Kayleigh, holds on to the chair and smiles so big and her husband snaps away.  um okay.  So two thoughts run through my head.  1) she is now going to end up on some website selling American babies or 2) don't worry, she will just be in some random strangers photo album.  Let's hope for #2.
So the girls get their faces painted and we go stand in line to watch the 4-D movie.  Another couple from the tour group start to video tape Audrey.  The older lady kneels down and starts to talk to Audrey.  In a blink of an eye SHE PICKS UP AUDREY and dances with her while her husband video tapes it!!!!  What in the world???????  My husband just stands there and doesn't say anything.  I start to say "put down my child" and she lays eyes on Kayleigh.  She discards Audrey and tries to pick up Kayleigh.  By then Randy finds his voice and pulls Kayleigh away from the crazy American baby seller.
We watch the movie and the girls seem to have forgotten about the whole thing.  As I'm walking out of the movie I feel that Faith needs a diaper change.  So I run a head to change her in the nursing room (I"ll nurse her there too while I'm at it)  As I'm leaving the movie another lady from the tour group starts talking to Faith.  "oh baby want a cookie? baby want a cookie?" nope I say, she wants her diaper changed. and I run away.  Safe behind closed doors, I feed and change the baby.  As I'm feedind the baby a MAN opens the door to the nursing room!  Mind you I placed the "Room in use" sign on the door (which is at eye level).  What seems like forever, he finally closes the door.  I finish up and open the door to see them standing there (the man, his wife and their baby)  I put on an ugly face and point to the "room in use " sign.  The guy goes, Oh, its ok.  Its ok.  I go back at him. "no, its not ok to open a door on a nursing mother exposing her to the world"  he goes "no, its ok.  I only opened the door a little"  "NO, NO , its not ok.  Learn to be nice and not rude". 
We eat lunch and see the sharks and left.  I couldn't wait to leave.

The year is 1/3 over and it still sucks

2011 was supposed to be better than 2010.  So far, not true. 

I like to think that I'm a good person so why am I going through all this shit right now?  I know it will only make me "stronger" but gosh darn it, I'm ready for it to be over.
