What do you do on a Sunday afternoon?

Making sugar cookies was what Sasha wanted to do today after church. How could I refuse? I LOVE sugar cookies. Baking with all that flour can be a bit messy...................








Here are our creations. I made the frosting a wee-bit runny. **Sigh**, making frosting is quite complicated, you know. But, here is the thing, the kids are all into it at first, and then suddenly, I realize I am alone in the kitchen, frosting cookies. It was their idea, and they lose interest way before the final cookie gets adorned. (Yes, those are ghosts, gingerbread men, and a candy cane. Yes, I know it is July.) But, I must say, I had fun with that runny frosting and created some cool lookin' cookies. Can't wait to eat them for breakfast tomorrow. Did I say that out loud?





I am having flashbacks to the 80's, are you? I think I had a shirt or two that resembled these cookies. Awesome.

It looks like a fun and yummy way to spend Sunday. I'm always abandoned in the kitchen finishing the cookies alone too. But they taste so good! It looks like you guys are having a great summer. We miss you guys!

You are such a good mama! I love the floury faces! It must be a universal mom thing to end up finishing the cookies on our own! It happens at our house too. Oh, and I think the frosting is pretty!

They turned out adorable! You're good.....I never make my own frosting, I always buy because mine always turns out twice that runny! And Hey,.....there is nothing quite like Christmas in July!

Man I wish I was your neighbor so I could have a big plate of those....I'd even help you decorate them after your kids left you :)
