While Apple took a super-long nap on Saturday and Peanut Butter took Noodle and Taco to the batting cages, Kiwi, Reese, and I made sugar cookies. Vanessa wandered in and out of the kitchen wondering what we were up to! The kids had so much fun decorating the Springy sugar cookies. Who am I fooling??…
