Saturday morning

Wednesday morning snuggles

Paul came downstairs and said, "Where are the kids?" Both bedroom doors were open, so he had assumed they were in the kitchen with me.

Well, I went upstairs to check. Levi was sitting on Sylvia's bed waiting for her to wake up. Once she did, he ran into his room and then came right back with a stuffed animal and got under the covers to cuddle with her. He loves his big sister so much.

Oh yes - I forgot the dandelion pics

Dandelion cookies

I knew this experiment would be more about the process, and it was. We picked the flowers, washed them, and pulled off the petals. We made the cookie dough. We baked them. We made a glaze and decorated them. The kids stayed engaged the whole time, and the cookies looked so pretty when they were done. We had so much fun.

And now for the bad news: YUCK. It wasn't the fault of the dandelions - the cookie itself was just so blah. I think next time I cook with flowers, we'll just pick a favorite cookie recipe and add petals 😊
