Our church on occasion has left overs from the local stores that are no longer wanted to sell. It just so happened that after Christmas were these cookie decorating kits. I grabbed a couple of boxes. The kids enjoyed an afternoon of coloring these cookies. The cookies already had a print of the characters off of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer claymation on them. They used these food coloring markers to color them in. I saved those markers - I thought they were really neat. The kids had so much fun decorating the cookies. As far as taste is concerned: well - even the kids thought they were a bit too sweet and not so good tasting. Needless to say we still have them in little baggies in the pantry. They will probably turn into bird feedin' food. Oh well . . . it was a good time had by all.
uh, we got one of those kits too! It was a fun project for them, but lets just say they were gross! So they got tossed in the trash. It was a really neat idea. Maybe next year we can buy one in the first part of the season, and maybe they will taste better!
We are a family made up of nine beautiful children, one busy mom and one devoted and invested dad. We strive to please God and reflect His love to others. We believe in the saving power of our Lord, Jesus Christ. We love our friends, and family and that's why we blog - to share the day to day happenings in this one crazy, big family. We are so very blessed that three of our children have Down syndrome. You are welcome to read, laugh, and cry alongside us. May your visit here be a blessing. Thanks for stopping by.

Kidlet Speak
Me: Isaac did you already put all your clothes away?
Isaac: Yes, I did.
Me: Wow, that was fast.
Isaac: That's what happens when you have years of experience Mom.
Me: (eye roll)
Things to Consider
We so often concentrate on getting our little ones to look good for going to church. Hair: check, dress: check, shoes: check, etc. However, how often do we do a heart check? Making sure our little ones, as well as ourselves, are ready to hear what the Lord might say that morning?

Looks like fun and a great idea!
