Valentine Treats


I'm no Martha Stewart, but these Valentine treats that Ella and I made this afternoon turned out great anyway! I got the idea from a magazine in a waiting room some time back... unfortunately I didn't make a note of where I saw it, so we had to wing it. We started by getting Maggie, Kate, and Sarah to take a nap. Then Ella counted out the number of caramels, Nilla wafers, and sticks that we needed~ sneaking in math where I can. She opened the caramels and I melted them. We used them to hold the sticks between two of the cookies. Next I dipped them in some melted white chocolate, and Ella was in charge of the sprinkles. Tomorrow and the next day when I complain here about Ella's terrible red dye induced behavior, just come on back and remind me exactly who's fault it is, okay??

I love the pictures of the girls. I am glad you guys had some decent weather so you could get out and play.

Those are beautiful! I was just watching Martha make lady bug cookies and thinking how fun it will be to decorate cookies with Emma.
