Time Well Spent

Matt was away for an Winter over-nighter with our teens at the beginning of February. It was an all-nighter and tubing event, so we both decided it didn't make sense for our whole family to attempt that together! My mom was willing to drive down from PA to keep me company and help me keep my sanity. We had a crazy but enjoyable time with the kids, and my mom and I even managed to sneak in a BBC chick-flick after the kids went to bed. . .accompanied by icecream of course. We had a good time together!

Getting ready to make and decorate sugar cookies for Valentine's Day. I told my mom I would NOT have attempted this chaos of 3 small children gathered around one cooking area without an extra pair of hands. So . . . she took pictures and laughed A LOT!

Zeke and flour--NOT the greatest combination in the world!

Everyone loves licking the beaters

She looks like she is in PAIN!

This picture makes me laugh--Ezekiel looks just as concerned as I do!

First batch out of the oven

FINISHED!

Now, on to the decorating. . .mom braved helping little man

He actually did pretty well. . .

SO proud of his cookie!

Meticulously placing one sprinkle at a time
