sugar high!!!
so today we made these
but let me start at the beginning...
it has been a very hot summer here and therefore we have spent a lot of time inside. we do have a pool in our neighborhood but taking 3 little ones there by myself is not very easy (i've only attempted it once). so while we have done some swimming with friends we've spent a lot of time playing in the toy aisle at target and going to storytime at the library. the other week m and i went shopping and she saw some sugar cookie mix. "mommy can we please buy this and make them to eat". so we bought the mix. i thought today was as good a day as any to make them (considering it is going to be 95!). so when p went down for her morning nap out came the cookie mix, one egg, and one stick of butter and thus the sugary mess began.
i gave each kid a bowl of icing and 2 cookies to ice. which ended up being a good idea because i believe more of the icing went into their mouths than onto the cookies (but isn't that the point?). next we let the sprinkles fly and fly they did. i think i'll be sweeping up sprinkles for a week. i let them each eat one of their creations and they are saving the other one for dessert tonight.
all in all we had a very fun morning (yes, cookies before lunch...sometimes you got to live a little). i think this picture of j sums it up...
you can never have too much icing and sprinkles!

she made me do it!!!
so i guess i have a pretty normal life. i've been married to the love of my life for almost 6 years and i have 3 kids, 4 and under. ok...so maybe my life is a little crazy. since i have 3 little ones i am always hearing and seeing many funny things. my aunt, miss a, is always telling me i need a blog to show off my kids and tell all our funny stories. i knew it would be a good idea. my husband's family lives in seattle and i thought they would love updates on the kiddos, but trying to blog while raising 3 kids seemed a bit much. "oh it's easy" she told me! ok...well, here it goes...I'M BLOGGING!!!
