Happy Valentine's Day!

We have been frantically making our favorite sugar cookies for the 3 kids three respective Valentine's parties...the kitchen is covered in flour and powdered sugar...but we have been having a blast. These cookies are so fun for the kids to make because you paint the icing on with paintbrushes...so now we have frosting floor to ceiling as well...but we all taste and smell delicious;)
Daddy wondering what smells so good...

Little girls trying hard not to eat all of the butter and sugar

Delia has NO idea how old she is. (or short)

Bella is my professional egg cracker...the girl uses finesse in this ONE activity...amazing;)

Yum....momma loves aprons!

Who is that TIRED woman! We had all been sick for two weeks prior...I guess it shows...only on me!

Getting ready to picasso some cookies

Happiness is a sticky heart cookie

Masterpiece?

Enzo hosting his own cooking show...letting Bella know exactly how this cookie is going to get frosted

Sea of Sugar

This cookie in particular was taunting me....

Proud little chefs!

Spring???

We RELISHED the awesome weather we had this weekend. The kids breathed deep and obviously rejuvinated their spirits. We have all been sick for the last TWO WEEKS...so the wonderful warm weather was really energizing:) Daddy almost finished putting the playset back together (last time it took many, many weeks! Poor Mikey!) and we all played the weekend away:)

We had our first playdate with a family in our new neighborhood...They have two boys and a little girl, Clary. As you can see she fit right in with our little fashionistas...they enjoyed a "fancy lady teaparty" and had loads of giggles.

Don't mess with Boots...she will take you DOWN!

The girls enjoying the 65 degree weather (in February...love it;)

Yes, Mike is actually smiling as he puts this beast back together...he craftily took it apart in HUGE hunks...so although he needed an army to help lift the pieces he didn't have the painstaking job of nailing it together board by board again.

10 mintues of work! Hooray!

Delia and Enzo succumbed to the sun... and enjoyed a catnap in a ray of shine.

Looks like we beat them senseless doesn't it? That's what happens when you get outta line;)

Tagged!

Okay! Kara tagged us to do the following: Go to your picture files, and open the 4th folder, then open the 4th picture and post...could end up pretty embarrasing if you have seen my picture files...BUT this is what we ended up with. Yup...bliss;) Kara I loved the feet comparison photo...too cute;)

I tag Penny, Charlene, Bugga and Amy:)
