Another Day, Another Round of Cookies

11/29/2015

0 Comments

 
Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

It has been another long day of baking here, and today I even got my brother involved! Alright, so he did like, one batch with me, but for a kid who doesn't like baking as much as I do, that was a lot. I was really glad that he offered to help me for a little while and spent some time with me in the kitchen.
If I counted correctly, we now have ten different kinds of cookies made. That's insane for just one weekend, and I couldn't have done it without the help from all of my siblings, especially my sister. She was my wing-woman for the weekend, and even though she may have complained once or twice, she pretty much washed everything we touched as I was working on the actual baking part. There's no way I could have accomplished half of this without her help.

My littler sisters were thrilled to decorate their sugar cookies today. In fact, they were so anxious to get started on the project, that I was woken up a few times before I was actually getting up out of bed this morning. Twin A decided to bring a singing gingerbread man toy into the room and turn him on right next to my head. Twin B decided to come in and throw herself on top of me. I'm not sure which was worse. And oh! The agony of waiting while I actually ate breakfast! What do you mean, we can't just pop out of bed and start working on cookies? We actually have to eat and brush teeth and walk dogs first? Sheesh.

What was nice though, was that in between batches of cookies, we got to watch some movies (Christmas and two Disney movies) as a family. I had somehow never seen Monsters University (even though my little sisters watched the movie twenty thousand times last year -- I avoided it because I somehow never caught the beginning), so we got to see that today... well worth the wait, because it was just as great as Monsters Inc. was, which we also watched today).

Now you'd think after such a long weekend of Thanksgiving, baking, having the kids home for so many days, that my mom and I would be looking forward to a relaxing day tomorrow. Wrong. We have a ton of errands to run (like getting new shoes for me before Tuesday... can you say 'last minute?') and we'll probably be out all day long until the kids get home from school. Then on Tuesday I have my orientation/training class for Disney, which lasts all day long, so I won't be able to finish with the baking until Wednesday.

I'd love to share pictures of all of the cookies, but that will have to wait until tomorrow. I need to finish loading the dishwasher and get to bed so I have some energy for all of our errands. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend!

Thank you so much for your continued support! I look forward to sharing more stories about my experience with foster care, and hopefully hearing from readers who have questions or similar stories to share. I'm always willing to answer questions and hear about other experiences! Please don't forget to like and share my Facebook author page as well!

I’d greatly appreciate it if you would share this blog with friends and family through your favorite social media sites. If you’re sharing on Twitter, don’t forget to tag me (@TayTayK02) and use the hashtag #TaylorTalks.

Thanks!
Taylor

    Picture
    My family started doing foster care when I was three years old. We took in nineteen children over the course of eighteen years, with our last placement leaving in December 2014. I'm the only biological child in my family, though my parents adopted five of my siblings.

    I love to share my perspective on the foster care system and share how my unique upbringing shaped my life.

    I'm also a Cast Member at Walt Disney World and lover of all things Disney! My career allows me the opportunity to find a little bit of Magic in life every day.


    I enjoy sharing my journey as a writer as well. Find my children's books on Amazon and keep following my blog for updates on future books that I'll be releasing!
