This 2 week break from work and school flew by. I really enjoyed a lot of time at home (and running errands) with the sister and bruddah.
Shelby and Coleman are imaginative and play really well together. They fight too, but that’s normal. I love how well they play together, and I can’t stand the messes they make! They often dress up, and pretend they’re spies, or veterinarians, or dog catchers, etc… This day Coleman walked in like this and I knew they must be getting dressed up to “get married.” This is Coleman’s go-to “fancy” shirt for getting married. He had it all tucked in, and had even picked out his own shorts, socks, and shoes to go with it. (He was very proud.)
But there’s my goofy boy!!
Soon, his “bride” came in and they danced and danced.
The girls watched. Lena and Molly:
One night after bedtime, Daddy found Shelby sleeping like this, between her wall and her bed. I’m pretty sure she does this often- last night she got up crying around midnight and when I put her back to bed, her pillow and a blanket were down there.
Another night, we made cut-out sugar cookies from scratch and decorated every one of them. This was a first success for me- I researched a lot of recipes and decided on this one http://allrecipes.com/recipe/the-best-rolled-sugar-cookies/ (I pinned it so it can be found forever!) 
It was a winner! The dough was fairly easy to roll out, and Shelby and Coleman were able to help a LOT.
Once cooled, I iced each of them and handed them off to the kids, who did ALL the decorating.
They were very thorough, and very proud of their work
I think we have a new Christmas week tradition
