Cookie Tuesday {and a Little Cruiser}

Last week, I forgot to take a photo of my new cookie jar before the cookies were placed in it. I made sure to get one today.

It was my first time to etch glass using my Silhouette and while I simply adore the look, I wish I had put a little more etching creme on it and left it on for just a few minutes longer. I'll probably eventually make a new one when I can find a jar that I like and has an actual seal on the lid. But seeing as how cookies don't normally last very long around here, I'm not sure that a tight seal matters all that much.

Noah's favorite ingredient from today? Chocolate chips.


And the look on his face as he was eating them? Pure bliss.

I honestly didn't feel like making cookies today, but between our recent visitors and cleaning the house yesterday and today, I felt like I hadn't spent much one-on-one time with Noah in the last few days. And making cookies together is one of his favorite things {I mean, he woke up this morning asking to "mate coo-kees Momma"}. Enter again, cake mix cookies. This time, we tried a strawberry cake mix with chocolate chips. They turned out okay - not our favorite, but they'll be eaten up, I'm sure of it.

In other news, Ellie has become quite the Little Cruiser lately. Yesterday, I caught this video of her:
