For family night in September, I was trying to come up with something we could do that would be aimed at Lucy. So I came up with the idea to decorate sugar cookies. Well it took longer to make them then I hoped, so we ended up doing family night on like a Tuesday. Lucy helped me make the frosting while Shawn spread our big picnic blanket on the living room floor. Why do them in the living room you might ask? Well the Republican Caucus was that week, and I think that was the night Sarah Palin was announced or something big. So to make everyone happy, we did this in front of the TV.
I took Lucy all of 30 seconds to realize everything we were using was edible. She loved that I was using "potty treats" aka chocolate chips as decoration. I'd put one on a cookie, she'd take it off and eat it. Once we let her go at decorating, she stopped eating everything because she was having so much fun, but no one would want to eat the cookies she decorated. In the end I think we ate maybe 4 cookies and threw the rest away.
Look at Lucy's tounge as she concentrates. She got that from her dad, and she's been doing it since birth. Do you like her decorating abilities?
The finished product, and as Lucy puts it "All Done!"

Oh man looking at those pics made me miss you guys! Lucy looks sooooooooooo cute and so old!
Yeah who's idea was it for you to move??? Every time Cole points to her picture on the blog and says "Lucy" I feel so sad! But just remember they will meet at BYU and rekindle their love :) haha to answer your question I was planning to work and had Babysitting all set up, but it fell through when my friend got pregnant and was going to have 2 kids under the age of 18 months (that would be her kids)plus my kids so we decided to have me stay home and that felt right. Just think...we could be having play dates every day!
