It was Ethan's day to bring snacks to preschool. I asked him what he wanted to take and he said "cookies". So last night we made sugar cookies and what a mess! There are many things you have to give up once you have children and perfection is one of them. I make pretty darn good sugar cookies and pride myself on how well they always turn out (a skill that has taken me years to master!) But last night I realized it was far more important that the kids had fun doing it, rather than how pretty they turned out. They had a blast and we created memories. We made orange pumpkins and red leaves and they turned out mis-shaped with finger holes and torn edges. Some where very thin and some were very thick. But who cares really. I was the class mom in Ethan's class today and he was beaming with pride as we passed out the cookies to his friends. That's what was really important.

What a fun mom you are! I would die if M made a mess like that. i need to relax! I love sugar cookies
Oh that sounds like so much fun!! I always say I am going to make something with the kids, but I get annoyed and rush them away. I need to be more like you and realize it is about the memories, thanks for the reminder!
You are a great mom!! I'm starting to let Ash help a little bit, but WOW you are brave!! Thanks for getting my tags at card swap, i'll come get them this week!! thanks
I try to not care but, I still only let them help with their cookies not all of them!!They do like putting the ingredients in though. You guys look like you had a ton of fun!!
How fun! I am sorry you had pink eye. Addi just got over it. It took two different treatments to get rid of it. Your kids are getting so big. 4 more weeks and we will be in Utah. So exciting. There is so much I want to do I don't even know where to start. Brayden can't wait to see E.
