Valentines Day

Yesterday after we did a little schooling, we made some chocolate brownie roll out cookies, in heart shapes of course. Even Eliot helped and we had a really good time ;) (and ps, these cookies are so yummy..mmm)

ready to add to the pan

mushing it back up to roll out again

so much fun! (later he had a suspicious flour mustache and he and Ollie were a bit wound up at dance....hmmmm)
