Who am I?

Lately I have been finding a creative bone in my body that I didn't think existed.  Most would not call me the artsy fartsy type, but something happened in February:

On Valentines day I randomly decided to pull out our Valentines day box and looked inside.  I found a table cloth, cookie cutters, and a heart shaped straw.  I thought to myself "what in the world am I going to do with these random items?"  So I did the first obvious thing.  I put the table cloth on the table. WOW.  Go Athena.  So creative :).

Then I looked at the cookie cutters and thought.....hmm...maybe Joey and I will make cookies.  I am not much of a baker, but I figured we had all the ingredients for sugar cookies, and we did.  So I pulled out the ingredients and Joey and I got to work.

They turned out pretty good.  We only made 8 cookies.  Don't judge me.  It is very difficult to make sugar cookies alone with a 2 and 1 year old :). 

I wasn't done there. My  next creative move was to take the heart shaped cookie cutter and cut their PB&J sandwiches into hearts.  melt. 

It was a homerun in the 2 year old world.  I also found use for the straw.  Joey loved drinking out of it at the same time as me :).

We took an intermission (nap time) between lunch and dinner.  But you wouldn't believe the creative juices that were flowing at dinner......heart shaped quesadillas :).

Once again....slam dunk!
Oh but wait....the creative bone didn't leave on valentines day.  I decided to make a diaper cake for my the baby shower I threw.  Not bad for an uncreative girl like me :).

  1. Oh my gosh, all your heart-shaped food is cracking me up. That is so cute! And I love the diaper cake - I've always wanted to do one of those!
