Arrgghhh Maties!

I hope we aren’t the only ones who took full advantage of National Talk Like a Pirate Day. My sister {she’s way cooler than me!!} called me up and told me that Krispy Kreme was giving away free donuts if you went in and “talked like a pirate.” You also got a dozen donuts if you dressed like a pirate! Apparently, we weren’t pirate-y enough…but we sure did have fun! And the kids enjoyed their free donut!

That’s how we roll!

***********************************

Instead of going “over the top” with a dessert, and knowing that Ben was working and I didn’t want to stress out about running out of time today, I went the “classic” route for the dessert auction with chocolate chip cookies. {I used milk chocolate chips.} And, instead of auctioning off a plate of oversized cookies for someone to keep for themselves, I packaged the cookies (2) to a bag and priced them at $5. So, in all, they sold for $40. Not too bad! I wish I would have doubled the recipe and sold more of them! And in case you are wondering, the dessert auction is held to raise money for our youth {boys and girls} to go camp this summer. In all, they raised $1650! {correct me if I’m wrong!} I think that’s a new record!
