"Sophie Do IT!!!"

You turn your back for ONE SECOND!

Actually, I just looked down at my camera...

And before I could throw it {gently} on the ground & RUN to the swing set,

Sophie was shimmying up the ladder to the slide!

Once she was up there & had conquered her mountain, she turned to me

And gave me one of her

"Sophie Did It" grins.

What a girl!

The last from my womb,

The most fearless of my three,

The one who cries the easiest {and most dramatic},

The one who can give lovin'

AND

claw your eyes out in the same second.

I tried to help her up after she made it down the slide,

Alas, she poked those cat claws at me & screamed,

"SOPHIE DO IT!!!!"

What could I do, except let her do it,

And capture it on camera...

The Best of Intentions...

Start With One...

Even TWO are Better....
Trying Your Luck with Three....
Not So Good...

I like to blog surf. It wastes precious time but I'm so addicted. Hello, my name is Lindsey & I sit at the computer jumping from blog to blog when I should be cleaning house, cooking supper or God Forbid, playing with my children.

Wheewww, glad that's off my chest.

Anywhoo, I found this recipe months ago and tucked it into my 'favorites' folder. I was needing something to do in between putting off a load of unfolded clothes and a dirty bathroom, so I went to my little favorites folder and pulled this one out.

I thought the idea was so cute! I tackled this one! And I also have tackled three of these puppies since they've come out of the oven!! There goes my work out plan....

I made the dough a few days ago. It requires you to refrigerate it before working with it.

Kind of a delayed gratification thingy...

Once I was between loads of laundry, I took the dough out today and cut it into my little assembly line...

Then I worked each piece into a ball & put 1 color of each into another bigger ball.

{That sentence didn't make sense at all so just follow in the photos}

Then I rolled that final ball into a 12 inch snake-like strip. Finally coil it up into a pretty little spring.

Definitely remember to grease your pans

Yes, yes, I know....Eight went into the oven...

but only seven made it onto the cooling wrack...The original recipe has such prettier photos.

But I'm sure they taste just as good!!

(p.s. They were really fun to do! Now that I know what to expect with the food coloring, I'm going to do them again with Alexander The Assistant.)
