It is hard to believe that spring break is over - yes over with a capital "O". I can honestly say that we - well at least me - had a great time. Yesterday we made these super cute cookies with friends.I adapted the dough from the Alton Brown Sugar Cookie recipe; they turn out great and the cookies are not overly sweet. I made them Galactosemia "safe" - dairy free - by replacing the butter with two sticks of Earth Balance. I also used Whole Wheat Pastry Flour instead of regular flour - the flour did make a huge difference....
The weather today was just amazing - it must have been in the mid 70's and we spent much of the day outside plus we never used the car. Yay!!! We first took a leisurely stroll to a couple different playgrounds at each the girls got to play a lot....
Our next stop was at Portland Nursery which is a fantastic garden store and it was just buzzing with people today. Oh, and yes Magnolias are blooming...Next we walk past friend's house where the girls got to play outside with their friends and the adults had some grown up conversation.
The last stop - and dinner tonight - was Por que No on Hawthorne {Rice & Beans for Alena and Pollo Verde Taco for Mia Rosie}
Now, the kids are tucked into bed anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Easter Bunny...
