Weekend fun. WOW! What a weekend we had. We stayed at home, with the exception of church on Sunday. It was ABSOLUELY WONDERFUL! The weather was beautiful. The boys played baseball outside for a while, we did some baking, and just simply enjoyed each others company. On Friday when I got home from work we ate supper, I made some caramel chex mix, and some haystacks. YUMMY!! Austin and Zach bought playdoh with their allowance, and they created all evening--like for about 4 hours. Cookie cutters everywhere, and lots of neat creation, I just wish again that I'd taken more pictures. Saturday we slept in--ahh this is the life--and when I woke up I thought, "I haven't made cut out cookies in forever." I made sugar cookie dough, and then made a pot of "White chicken Chilli", the boys enjoyed the weather outside for a while. We ate lunch, which was tacos--an all time favorite in this house. Tacos at least once a week. Then to decorate the million cookies. Really there were only about 65 cookies. They were divided between boys, and let them go. Zach got tired and left a few undone, so between Austin and I we finished them. Now, Austin, my artistic one, took great care with each cookie. It was just a wonderful weekend of family. Much needed relaxing.
How do you get your boys to sit and decorate cookies?!
ReplyDeleteI would love to do that with my kids. Hmmm, may be too late, then again they may be at just the right age.
I really like your bath room and bedroom. Very nice!
WOW! Your bedroom and bathroom are sooooooooooo pretty!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm glad that SOMEONE likes to decorate cookies cuz I HATE IT! WITH A PASSION!LOL I find NOTHING relaxing about it!LOL (get the idea?) Glad things are going well for you!
Sounds great! :) I love decorating cookies! :) We do that on Valentines day every year. And sometimes--if I make time-- on Christmas. :) Do you know sugar cookies freeze really well, too. (Even with the frosting on!) :)
