Tonight I finished up the valentine cookies for Quinn's valentine party at school on Wednesday. I was assigned 2 dozen sugar cookies. It's been a 2 step process... I made the dough on Saturday and thought I would bake them yesterday afternoon but that didn't work out so I finished them tonight. I have to be honest and say this is not my picture of my cookies but I found this picture at www.flickr.com and this person used the same exact sprinkles that I did. I just didn't put quite as much on! The kids like to decorate them like this though. I like to taste the cookie in there some where. Anyway, I was amazed at how close they looked to mine. I'm looking for the perfect sugar cookie recipe. I've used a couple of different ones but it seems like they crack and break or they stick to the pan. Do you have the perfect recipe? I need it!! I enjoy eating these cookies that's for sure! ; ) And it was all worth it after Quinn finished his cookie up and said, "Thanks Mom, for everything you did for me today... like, you had my snow pants and hat in my backpack this morning and my boots all ready to go". I just love having a # 1 fan. Everyone needs one. He even put a note on my pillow tonight telling me he loved me and he put some XX's and OO's on it. Tony got a note too. Some day he is going to be quite the charmer with the ladies...in about 30 years right? Oh~ what did I need to send in for Madison's party you ask?... a box of Cheez-It crackers! Ha! Was that ever easy!
That's all of the "heart"-warming stories tonight.
Love to all, Leah
