My dad leaves today. 🙁 He flew in from California over a week ago, and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed having him here with me. The absolute hardest thing about living away from my home town is being so far away from my parents. I only get to see them a couple times a year, and well, it’s never enough time. My heart is heavy. It was so fun having him here!
My boy had fun playing wii with grandpa. And he helped us build a raised box for our vegetable garden in addition to lots of other things I’ll be showing you very soon!
It’s always so hard to say goodbye even after almost 12 years of living apart. It never gets easier.
So, to help distract myself and hopefully lift my spirits I’ve devised a plan. I’m going to attempt to bake some horse cookies in honor of Derby Week for my daughter’s class. They are learning a lot about the Derby this week. She even has Derby related homework! She has to write 3 sentences about the Derby. Is there something sweeter than kindergarten? Anyhow, hopefully the baking and decorating of some horse cookies will help to cheer me up. If nothing else I’ll be on one heck of sugar high right?! Here’s my inspiration.
I’m sure my cookies will not come out looking as nice, but I don’t think her kindergarten class will care. And just looking at these puts a giant smile on my face.
If you want the 411 on gorgeous Derby hats be sure to head over to The 2 Seasons .
if those frosted horse cookies can't make you feel better, i don't know what will! 😉 i know you how feel- when we lived in louisiana i always felt like that after my parents left.
