Prepping for the big day

Who doesn't love Valentine's Day? Who doesn't love cookies? Who doesn't love Valentine's Day cookies?

Ever since we decorated cookies for Santa, we knew we needed another excuse to make sugar cookies and pull out all the sprinkle-covered stops for an upcoming holiday. Lucky for us, Valentine's Day was just around the corner. I bought all the sugary ingredients weeks ago, made cookies this morning in various heart shapes, and we settled down for some decorating fun this afternoon. Even Matt got in on the action (just a little pre-first birthday cake eating test... we don't want a Luke vomit repeat)!

Fun fun fun, followed by sugar crashing all around, followed by three boys sleeping very soundly tonight!

Life gets in the way

Things around here are hectic! Boys in school, parents at work, making time to eat, finding time for all to sleep in between everyone waking up, attempting to scrapbook so I am not perpetually 5 months behind life... sorry there haven't been any Slavik updates over the past week! Hopefully tomorrow I'll have an opportunity to sit down and script about the things that have been going on. In the mean time, a photo of Luke (mid temper tantrum) at Umstead State Park. Sure, he looks pathetic, but it will sure make you crack a smile!
