Clabber Girls


(You should recognize Annika by now.)
Remeber "Serge"? She is always a part of our baking bonanzas. She is an accomplished pastry chef.
Sometimes I wonder why I even bother putting a bow in her hair... By the way, she put the sprinkles on, then picked them all off before eating the cookie.
Well, this was our attempt at making valentines for the ones we love. I don't understand why they lost interest so fast. Glue, heart doilies, coffee filters, markers - doesn't that scream fun? Annika's mom posted pictures of our event on her blog too and I told her - to look at the pictures you would never know of the skipped naps, the sugar highs, the lunches refused, the fits pitched, one miserable kid from a raw bum, and a howling dog who had just pooped on the porch! Arts and craps (I mean crafts) with children is not all it's cracked up to be.

Don't be discouraged you captured the moments in pictures and you will forget the tense moments. Except where you documented the tense moments in your commentary. That's a draw back with this blog deal. This falls in the same department as "Why don't we make some hot chocolate, get the kids and decorate the tree." It's never quite as much fun as Hallmark tries to convince you it is. Good effort though and you got to eat cookies.
