First of all, thank you so much for all of the cobblestone love. Charlie loved it too!

I have started Libby's vest. I forgot that when I bought the yarn I bought one ball of the oatmeal color. So happy with that choice, otherwise I think it would have been very dull. Since I don't have a pattern, I am changing colors when the mood strikes. And holding it up after every row, to make sure I like it. For some reason, this brings a smile to my husbands face. (?) I guess I am spending more time looking at this, then actually knitting. I have drawn the pattern (onto a paper bag) and am using that as my guideline. Keeping my fingers crossed along the way.

I can't believe that it is now the sixth week of school and I have yet to do a cookie of the week. I have been baking, but I have chosen everything. This week is Andrew's turn, and he chose, Chocolate Brownie Cookies.

2 cups sugar :: 1 cup vegetable oil :: 4 eggs :: 4 squares semi sweet chocolate, melted and slightly cooled :: 2 tsp vanilla :: 2 cups whole wheat flour :: 2 cups all purpose flour :: 2 tsp baking soda :: 1/2 tsp salt :: 1 cup chocolate chips (optional) :: 1/2 cup walnuts (optional)
