We had a low-key weekend at home, with an unexpected bonus: daycare was open on Monday, but I had the day off! And it was balmy weather for January. I got in a fun dance workout, dragged JW out hiking, took a nice long leisurely shower, had a delicious Indian lunch at Dosa Temple, and cleaned out my closet before picking up the kids early and walking them home.
Over the weekend, K and I made and decorated New Year's cookies and delivered them to all the neighbors. I am lazy about rolling out dough and cutting out cookies, so I just shaped the dough into logs, sliced, and baked. I made some lemon icing (using a lemon that CT sent from her balcony tree in California) and K dumped so much colored sugar and sprinkles on top that we'll be picking it out from between the floorboards for weeks. We wrote "2012" with icing to make them New Year's cookies. They were not that pretty, but nobody minded. It was a perfect time to be out delivering cookies because most of the neighbors were hanging out at home, having their own low-key weekends and recovering from the holidays, and were happy to have company. It took a while because everyone invited us in. I think this should be an annual tradition. Next year we'll make more cookie plates, and spread them out over a few days.
