Busy, busy day

We had so much going on today we couldn't get it all in.

I had made a batch of chocolate chip cookies before work today. I asked Nate to take the last dozen out of the oven in 10 minutes and then ran off to work. Eight hours late we both come home from a variety of events and could smell something like butterscotch. Nate immediately remembered the cookies he'd forgotten and pulled out lovely charred black 'cookies'. Such a sad waste of beautiful cookie dough. We are so very glad we didn't burn the house down.

And here is what went on for those 8 hours: I was helping with a baby shower for Nate's little sister after work-hence the cookies (the girl party). Nate ended up on call and had two service calls to go to (the unplanned interruption to a busy-but-manageable-up-to-that-point kind of day). Nate's parents were superstars and watched the kids at last minute plus took them to the car show (the boy party) for Nate to meet up with them when he finished his service calls hours later.

Thinking about it, it's actually a good thing we ended up unable to get a baby-sitter so we could go to the play that we had tickets for tonight, it could have been another 2-4 hours before we'd have found the cookies!
