Valentine's cookies

By -
Last weekend, we made Valentine cookies. I spent most of Friday in the kitchen rolling out cookie dough. We made all sizes of heart cookies.

Then, on Friday evening after dinner, we decorated them. To say that we had fun making a mess would be an understatement.

We made icing in several colors and put some in decorating bags and thinner icing in squirt bottles. Paul was so cute making his cookies. He put some icing on top in no particular design. He had a very fun time. Sarah Belle tried her best to make beautiful cookies. She did really good making her cookies look so sweet, just like she is.
Anna Brooke made her cookies extra fancy. She embellished every one with sprinkles or some fancy decorating skills.
Luke made his all abour sports. Can you spot the basketball, football and basketball net?? he also made a tower of cookies.
Then, I gave it my best shot at decorating. I tried several different tecniques and got pretty good at marbling.
We had so much fun doing this. The little Fullers want to do it again for Easter and all the holidays.
I will let you know how it goes...

On Valentine's Day 2007 Patrick and I decided that we would not get each other a gift. This was the first time we had made such a deal. I did pick up a card for him and filled it out. Valentine's Day was on a Wednesday and we really didn't see each other much until after church that night. He came home exhausted. We had our little family of five all together in the Family Room and I handed him his card. I had signed it the way I usually do with an extra note on the very bottom: P. S. Baby Boy due to arrive in September. (Now, I didn't know for sure he was a boy, but I had a feeling) Patrick FELL INTO THE FLOOR!! Fast forward 7 months. I was very busy getting ready to open WEE Love Academy, the weekday preschool ministry at church. I was thinking that I would get the Preschool started a few weeks then the baby would come. Well, Preschool started on Tuesday, September 4, 2007. It was a great day and I came home energetic! I thought nothing of it just busied m...

Pretty...

Hello There! There is something that has bothered me for years. I have begun to do better, and encouraged others to change their ways. This is it... Why do people almost always compliment little girls on their appearance first? Little girls are held to a higher standard in regard to their appearance and little boys are held to a very low standard regarding their behavior. This baffles me. I know you've heard it, probably even done it.  What's the first thing most people say to a little girl? "You're so pretty!" "Your dress is so pretty!" Why not compliment how compassionate & respectful she is because you just witnessed her let an older person get on the elevator first? Brave because you see the band-aid on her arm from a doctor visit? Smart...maybe she has a book in her hand! Funny...did she just tell the best joke you've heard all week? Creative...does she have an ornate hairstyle?  Or an outfit you would have never ...
