I cried over Chocolate...

First, look at these little cuties (the offending cookie- please tell me they look like cute candy corns, even if they don't):

Here's the story. Ok, I'm tired. It's been a long day in what is promising to be a long, busy week. Holiday weeks are always busy. Plus, I have to play catchup on everything I was supposed to do last week -- including, by not limited to, getting my car registered by Wednesday, doing all my rescheduled Visiting Teaching, getting groceries, finding something for Carter to wear for our Christmas card pictures later this week, etc. etc. Plus I had a VT breakfast this morning, have activity days tomorrow at my house, am chaperoning Carter's preschool party this week, Trunk or Treat, etc.


So... here's the crying story. Tonight I made the above cuties for Activity Days and also for all my friends who brought in meals last week for us. I went to melt the white chocolate in the microwave and instead of melting it, I burned it. I burned the chocolate. And promptly burst into tears. Allen, of course, came to the rescue. We made a double boiler and melted the rest of the chocolate more slowly. He tried to get me to go to bed and finish them himself. Do I have the BEST husband or what?!?! We finished them together but he made me promise that I would blog that I cried over the chocolate. I am pathetic.

I think they look super cute. Really and I knew what they were supposed to be before I read your post. Don't worry about crying over chocolate. I would have too. Good luck getting everything done!

you are not even close to pathetic. You are amazing. I love those cute cookies. I hope that your weeks ends on a high note with the kids smiling and your Chritmas picture turning out great.

I cried when I ruined the first batch of Isabel's birthday cake a few weeks ago - and I'm not even pregnant! They turned out great and look exactly like candy corns.

Sis, you're not pathetic. I cried over Austenland. Case closed.

I love you, and I love that you love my brother. That makes me happy.

i saw those cookies in a mag this year and had it on my list of many things i wanted to do. i'm so glad you made them and they turned out cute. i can almost taste them from here, and they do look like candy corn! and, don't feel bad about crying over the chocolate. i've cried about much less than that.

You poor pregnant-surging with hormones- girl! Your cookies are darling. Thank heavens for understanding husbands, eh?

I think the cookies look great, I'd totally eat them. What a good guy your Al is.

i'm a little relieved to hear that you cried over those cookies, because I've been thinking I'm a little looney lately for things I've been crying over, i.e. winter weather which meant canceling our trip to the Barnyard Boo(we rescheduled), and I cried during High School musical 2 and over many more silly things
