On Sunday morning, Daddy and Chase went to mass. As usual, they bought some of the things the eighth graders are selling as a fundraiser for their trip to Washington D.C. Daddy bought Krispy Kreme donuts and pretzel bites. Nanaw came over about 3 p.m. to watch Mama make cookies. When Nanaw got there, she was making turtle cookies, the ones Nanaw used to make years ago when Mama still lived at home with Pawpaw and Nanaw. When Nanaw first started making them, she used semi sweet chocolate chips and then changed to milk chocolate because Nanaw and Mama liked those better. So Mama now uses milk chocolate chips, too. When they were done and cooled, Mama gave Nanaw a sample. They tasted really good but the chocolate chips got smeared all over, and Mama wasn't happy about that. While Chase and Nanaw were sitting at the kitchen table watching Mama, they cracked and ate nuts. Chase cracked a perfect Brazil nut for Nanaw, something no one had every done. Nanaw was very excited. They had a grand time cracking nuts and talking and laughing. The Mama got the cookie cutters out: a Christmas tree, a candy cane, a stocking, a gingerbread man, a snowman, and bell. Chase and Nanaw played a game of guessing which cookie cutter the other one had selected. Neither Chase nor Nanaw got any of their answers right. Next, Chase went into the living room to play knee hockey with his stuffed animals, and Nanaw went in to watch. For dinner, they had Mama's delicious stir fry. Later, when it was time for Nanaw to go home, Chase said Lars wanted to have a sleepover with her because he didn't want her to go home. Lars brought along the other lemurs Dylan and Lemy. Chase decided Charlie and Charles were going to have another sleepover with Chase. At Nanaw's house, Chase's lemurs, along with Nanaw's lemur Waino gathered on the sofa with play bananas, and Nanaw took a picture of the lemur banana party and sent it to Mama and Chase. The first photo below is Chase trying to crack a nut and having trouble doing it. The second photo is Chase stirring the stir fry LOL. The third photo is the lemur banana party photo at Nanaw's house.
