Sweeties

With all of these snow days and ice days and days without power, we've been doing a lot of crafts. One day last weekend we changed it up and did a little baking!  Mommy baked simple sugar cookies and when the kids woke up from nap, the cookies were ready to be decorated!  We mixed up some icing in baggies - Sean wanted red and Clare wanted pink...

After squeezing icing on the cookies, the kids covered them in sprinkles:

Clare helped with some quality-control on the sprinkles...

Clare took hold of the camera for a few shots:

But Mommy got the camera back and got some snaps of Clare waiting patiently for the icing to dry so she could sample a cookie...

The Valentine's fun continued later on this week - we had a snowday on Thursday and the kids worked hard on their Valentines for their classmates and their teachers.  They made up "Frozen" and "Despicable Me 2" cards for their friends and we made "love bug" ladybug-type cards for their teachers.  Friday morning the kids had a delayed opening and they were excited to get to school for their Valentine's Day parties!
