The cookie of the week was chosen by Libby. And since the kids had a half day of school yesterday, she also helped make them. I bought the dark chocolate with raspberry creme baking pieces at my local grocery. Not sure if you would be able to find them at your local grocery, but like the york pieces, maybe you can locate them here. We just used our chocolate chip cookie recipe and used these for the chips. Only two of the kids liked them, and my husband thought they were "different". I totally agreed. The next time I would probably bake them in brownies. The box brownie mix.

As I promised Andrew, I made his friend Jack a hat for his birthday. All the same information as here. I am loving these hats so much. Quick, easy, cute and inexpensive. Can't beat it!

Because there wasn't any school today, Andrew headed to the party. Like Emily, I am loving wrapping gifts in newspaper. Comics for the kids.

Enjoy your weekend. And if you are somewhere cold, bundle up in some of your warmest hand knits. I think it is the perfect weekend for that!
