Because some days you need more than others,
and in the spirit of keeping it real, here's a
glimpse of last week!****
Harry....is attempting to pour his
own drinks! Apparently, he still needs
a little practice! See the salt shaker...yes,
it was open when the juice spilled!
It's now one solid block of red salt. ha.

Spencer... gave The Mister a handful of
buttons from his winter coat when he
got out of the van one morning!
Apparently he decided on the way to
school that he didn't want buttons anymore!

Alex...helped himself to jalapeno cornbread
one morning before any one else was awake!
Apparently he thought his fingers were the
best way to take a piece!

As for the good....I made it through 25 dozen
goodies for an order for a wedding shower!
Whew! The best part was when they were
all done..that..and sampling each kind! :)

Yes, I'm laughing...so laugh with me!I'm SO glad it's a brand new week!
Hope you're having a great start to yours! :)
Now, let's put the kettle on and have a treat!
those goodies look yummy...jalepeno cornbread, do share...a little spillage isnt too bad. smiles.
ReplyDeleteGood Grief you're Good!
ReplyDeleteHi Betsy

Happy days
You are an amazing mom and an amazing cookie maker indeed! :D
ReplyDeleteBetsy,
ReplyDeleteyummy treats...you are amazing!

Mommy 2
What a great big ole beautiful heart you have Betsy....
ReplyDeleteand your baking delightfully creative :) Dee Dee
What an amazing Mom. I think I would have got a piece of that cornbread too..I love the middle square.
ReplyDeleteThe wedding shower goodies are to die for....you are the best of the best goody maker!
I love these posts! Who needs buttons? Your goodies are gorgeous... 25 dozen, must have been one big wedding shower!
ReplyDeleteBetsy, I also love your post. You are a GREAT mom. The goodies look very good!
ReplyDeleteReminds me a bit of a friend's status update on Facebook, "Too blessed to be stressed." And wouldn't you know it? I was feeling overwhelmed.
ReplyDeleteLove the red rock salt. :)
Julie ~ hey, did you see my sidebar? Thanks again...so fun!
ReplyDeleteBrian ~ you can have a piece..preferably not one Alex has touched, right? LOL.
ReplyDeleteI'll be right over - I'll even sew those buttons back on if Spencer has decided he needs them.
ReplyDeleteyour baked treats are beautiful!
We have some grown up members in our household who still use fingers to cut cake. Who..... me ...... no way :)
ReplyDeleteMy hubbies jacket has also been deprived of its buttons.
Your wedding treats look yummy
How did you get to be such a loving and talented and patient woman?! What a marvel you are. LOVE the cookies!
ReplyDeleteA little spill here and there never hurt anyone, and who needs buttons anyway.
ReplyDeleteNow, about those treats. I'll take a cup of hot tea with extra sugar and honey, and please pass the cookies.
Your cookies are amazing...the details you've added really give a special touch. Wish I would have known about these cookies for my DIL's shower. I have the same pattern on your dish with the cookies....on my grandmother's dresser set. I love that pattern. So nice to see that you are using your antiques. Does it have the stamp Bavaria on the bottom?
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday!
xoxo
Matty ~ extra sugar and honey? You do have a sweet tooth, don't you! LOL!
ReplyDeleteAs you can see, I didn't sew the buttons back on! ha.
Maggie ~ the plate is hand painted...it doesn't have anything stamped on the back. It has a mate. Not sure if it's Bavaria, but it's pretty!
ReplyDeleteYou must have the patience of a Saint ;)
ReplyDeleteAt least he ate your cornbread, and not your wedding-cookie order.
What a great mum, I admire you take on life......
Deep breaths, eh Betsy?
ReplyDeleteNo more buttons.....how funny.
ReplyDeleteYour shower treats are beautiful!!!!
Gorgeous Goodies! And Kids will be kids, won't they!
ReplyDeleteYour sweet treats look delicious. I bet the ladies at the wedding shower were delighted with them.
ReplyDeleteCornbread tastes best when eaten with the hands : )
HI Betsy! Waved at your house this morning!
ReplyDeleteCatching up with MY FIVE MEN! You have been busy...SO MANY cookies! I bet each and every one was picture perfect! YUM! My favorite is the tea cup cookie.
As for the guys...well...hmmm, they DO make life interesting yes?? I got a giggle out of it!
I hope this week is EXCELLENT! The weather sure is WONDERFUL isn't it???
Jill ~ you are WAY to chipper! haha...you must have had a wonderful weekend away with the girlfriends! :)
ReplyDeleteAlways love these 'keeping it real' posts. Another stellar post in the life of Betsy and her men!
ReplyDeleteThose treats look incredible, btw. Wow, now that would be very surreal to sit there drinking coffee whilst dunking my coffee cup cookie into my coffee mug. Wonderful.
I love that you share these "triplet moments". It is a fascinating window into your life. I posted about your draining stones today on my blog. Thanks for the idea.
ReplyDeleteBetsy, you are an artist! Your cookies are so pretty. Each little treat is a masterpiece of its own.
ReplyDeleteFunny about the buttons...nice Spencer decided to give them to dad. Hope Harry gets his beverage pouring skills perfected soon. Good for Alex...he'll never starve.
My question is this (and, as I have not made it through ALL the comments, it may have already been asked) how do you keep your men out of your wedding order? Or do you just not sleep the night before delivery.
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful. Do you do anniversary teas in California?
You have an incredible sense of humor! And I love that you found these things and then took pictures of them to share with us! Those wedding goodies look incredible too -- way to go!
ReplyDeleteThe buttons were my favorite!
ReplyDeleteYum, by the way...
Maybe Spencer was hinting his coat really needs a zipper Betsy! You are a star with those 250 (oops 25!) dozen treats. You know Martha started off life as a Caterer, so be careful or you'll knock her off her mulitmedia perch in a flash.
ReplyDeleteMillie ^_^
Betsy, those are BEAUTIFUL tea cup cookies! Makes me smile just looking at them!
