My funny valentines... sweet, annoying, valentines

Making heart sugar cookies with my four boys today... NOT my favorite thing to do.

Things I should not have to say while making cookies:

"NO! You can't just eat egg shells!"
"Hang on, I'll roll your dough in a second..."
"NO! Don't put the cookie cutter on your FOOT!!"
"Hang on, I'll roll your dough in a second..."
"Don't put your fingers in the middle of the hearts!"
"Hang on, I'll roll your dough in a second..."
"Peter! Don't throw your sippy cup in the middle of the cookie tray! You smashed all the cookies!"
"Hang on, I'll roll your dough in a second..."
"Who put the cinnamon and nutmeg in the sink!?"
"Hang on, I'll roll your dough in a second..."

"Get out of the SINK!"
"Hang on, I'll roll your dough in a second..."


"You know what?
Fine.
Just eat the dough in front of you and I'll finish up with the rest of it."

That sounds a lot like making cookies with my husband...
"Stop putting bullet holes in the ducks."
"Just the stuff INSIDE the cut-out goes on the tray."
"It no longer looks like a little man when you rip off parts picking it up and then smush them back on once it's on the tray."
"If you use the whole tub of sprinkles on one cookie, we won't have any left for the rest, and they won't all stick, anyway."
"Grandma doesn't need a 'bleeding' deer cookie!"
I can't imagine what it'll be like with Luke AND kids!!!
Apparently the idea that "if you can tell it's a cookie, you didn't use enough sprinkles" runs in the family. (Surprisingly, I heard it from my sister-in-law, too!!!)
