Lunch with the Girls and Watermelon Cookies

Saturday my mom, sister, grandma, aunts, and cousins got together for a "girls day". We met up at Tempe Market Place and ate lunch at Paradise Bakery. After a delicious lunch, the little girls and their mom left and the rest of us went to see "Julia & Julie". So cute! But like my mom says, for a Saturday matinee, my 13 year old sister and I were the youngest two in the theater. The average age was about 60, and there were maybe 15 guys! The movie was so cute, I would see it again! After the movie, my mom, sister and I walked around and spent some good mom and daughter time together! After lunch we took a group picture, this is all the girls on my moms side, minus my moms sister and her cute 4 year old. It was so much fun to have a girls day!

Yesterday my sister in law was having an open house for the preschool she is starting. She needed cookies, so in the mist of cleaning and getting the preschool room ready, I made these cute summer cookies!


I will admit I was blog stalking and found them on someone's blog, but they were so fun I had to try. We made sugar cookie dough and dyed it green. I rolled them out and used a cup to cut them since we didn't have a circle cookie cutter. Then I cut each circle in half before baking them. We frosted them with pink frosting and used mini chocolate chips for the seeds. I hear they were a hit, but I have eaten a few and they a were tasty! I forgot to take pictures before they were served, so some of the seeds are missing, but you get the idea! I am glad I got to try them before summer comes to an end!
