Farris and Mommy day!

I know this makes me sound like a kid, but I was so excited to hear those three little words…”School is canceled!” My first thought wasn’t even to ask why; in fact, I really didn’t care I was just excited that I would have a whole day to spend in my sweats with Farris. Okay, I lied; I was a little concerned why school was canceled in September. I knew that this area had some bad storms with powerful winds, but to think that the power went out and wouldn’t come back on at the school I work at was crazy, but again I do live in the “cave” and I rarely hear or am bothered by bad storms.

After hearing the great news, I instantly started thinking of how Farris and I could spend our day. I thought about taking her to a pumpkin patch or apple orchard, but then I decided that staying in and spending some much needed quality time together would be perfect. We opened the windows, let in some fresh air, and started baking! Farris LOVES to help me bake, and she is getting really good at pouring in the ingredients and being my #1 taste tester. We made pumpkin chocolate chip cookies (Aunt Lindsey’s recipe) which filled our apartment with the aroma of fall and put me in the best mood.

**It is truly the little things that make life worth living, and getting to spend the entire day with Farris was absolutely wonderful!
