valentine heart shaped sugar cubes
1 cup sugar
2 tsp cold water
Optional: Red Wilton 'Color Mist' (food coloring spray)
Plastic or Silicon heart-shaped mould
Directions: In a small bowl, blend the water with the sugar to form a 'wet sand' consistency. Lightly mist the mixture with the red food coloring spray and then re-blend the mixture to create a pale pink sugar. Fill the moulds with the mixture and press down with fingers or spatula. Invert sugar shapes onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet and allow to dry overnight. Voila!

teenagers
so it seems teenagers don't talk much..i miss my talkative Logan..he used to talk all the time about everything or anything.. now he grunts..or just looks at you doesn't smile show any emotion..and spends most of his time in his room..
and when he does want to talk its trying for shock value...he doesn't seem to think or remember hey his parents used to be teenagers... shock value been there done that..i think mine was asking my mother what it taste likes to swallow ..yes that was years and years ago..but at that time i just wanted to embarrass my mother..yes typical teenage girl behaviour..
now boys are so much more different..i was so worried thinking we just moved here he had to leave friends..he is a depressed funk.. he will get out of it.. looked on line for info on teens and depression.. yes he has no signs of it even took him to the doctor to do some blood work to make sure he didn't have anemia or anything..but i guess in the end this is just my Logan..this to shall pass and he will grow out of it.. his grade 6 principal said it best they are aliens until about 18 then they do come back to you.. nice to hear at a elementary graduation..
i have to just except he is doing what most teens do try to separate from parents and enjoy the times when we do play a game or dance around the house listening to music..its hard i had wanted to be this cool down to earth parent that my kids loved to go and talk to and hang out with ..i will hold on to the memories i have and wait for the alien to leave his body
