This year the girls had fun bringing Valentines to Peggy's. We also made heart shaped cookies to bring for the kids. Quick story about that- we decided to wait until the night before Valentine's Day to make the cookies (not smart in retrospect.....will do weekend before next year) and as I was multi-tasking by getting the dough ready, dishwasher unloaded, kids pj's on, etc., I somehow misplaced the heart shaped cookie cutter. I was getting frustrated retracing my steps and looking everywhere for the cookie cutter and starting to loose my cool. I think Maggie picked up on that and she started to look for it too. As she was digging through the container that we keep our cookie cutters in, she pulled out the pumpkin cookie cutter and calmly said, "Mom, don't worry, the pumpkin kind of looks like a heart when we turn it upside down. We can just use this."
And right then I realized that the roles had reversed. She was absolutely right, there was no need to tear the house apart and stress about not finding the heart cookie cutter. She was definitely the voice of reason and we did use the upside down pumpkin and bent in the sides a little bit and it worked perfectly. Happy Valentine's Day!
