I think it was too cold last night, NJ woke up with a snotty nose and was coughing more. Poor guy. I let him watch something to get him to rest. I'm sad that I had to turn down two play date invites. One in the morning, one for dinner. Hopefully the rest at home will help. He's otherwise himself, but I'm being extra careful because I want us all to be as healthy as possible with Christmas coming.
For his Christmas party tomorrow at school we need to bring a wrapped ornament and twelve gingerbread men cookies. I made myself a little baking corner. It's been a long time since I've made gingerbread cookies. The dough this time was so sticky, it made for a difficult time making the shape. I made a lot of extras since some of them were crooked. Four hours (or so) later I finally had my batch of gingerbread men ready to go. I had to keep putting the dough back in the fridge over and over. And I could only get about three or four men at a time into the oven. A lot of waiting for it to cool and waiting for it to bake. The best part was taste testing it. Turned out fine, even though I thought I got it wrong.
