It's the Snack Basket Again!

So it's snack basket again. Wow - wasn't I just slaving over the flower pots? So I thought I'd try these messy beauties! What was I thinking? I probably need to go core some strawberries to send just to be on the safe side.
So you start with a roll of dough....bake in a 9x13 pan for 13 mins...
Pull it from oven and plop hunks of creamy peanut butter and marshmellow cream. Yes, in case you are wondering - extremely low calorie. Put back in oven for 1 minute until it is this messy

Pull after one minute and sprinkle chex rice cereal and m&ms on top. Throw back in oven for 7 minutes. Voila'

A sneak peak at my next project. Lots of babies being born around the neighborhood. I'm thinking comfort food even though the new mommy I took food to last week was in regular clothes. What is it with these people? Recipe looking delicious already.

Dinner at the Keys sometimes includes but is not always limited to Nacho Cheese Doritos, Popcorn Shrimp, maybe a chocolate Pop Tart here and there. Ok, really I'm exaggerating. However, it is always so nice to open up the freezer to find a nice little care package, labeled nicely from mommy dearest. I love it when she rolls her little Honda in the driveway and begins unloading her little cooler on wheels. She says she's unable to cook here now because we're always on the go or there's a kid to be tended to (spanked). So she freezes what she cooks and brings here. That is that she freezes something EVERY DAY. This woman cooks for her man and there's always meat involved which I tend to not cook. My family dearly thanks her. In between freezer meals there are some bowls of Cheerios involved for dinner or after much pleading from both children, a trip to Taco Bell every now and then. Do you love the labeling!

Tiger's Return

We couldn't make it to the Master's so I've brought the greens to Skyline! The azalias I had to dust the yellow coating off before I brought them inside! It is so yucky out.
And thanks to the Easter bunny, and the fact that things got so busy I didn't dye eggs with my children, we have 2 dozen eggs with which to elevate our cholesterol. Mmmmmm egg salad is delish. I'm not sure Scott appreciates it in the middle of the night though when I fan the covers!

Egg Hunt

Two of the cutest kids I know - after the egg hunt!

A bright crazy flash and some cupcakes. You can hardly tell but the frosting was green. They turned out pretty cute but we had to cut the twizzlers in 1/2 to make them stand up.

The gaggle of children. We gathered them up so they would not see where the eggs were hidden. That presented a great opportunity for a group photo. They were oh so cooperative!

Lillee Grace and Mary Kate trapsing through looking for eggs!

I'm not quite sure who got this egg? I'm glad it was LG going for it and not Bax or someone could have had a black eye.

The tiniest egg hunters! They stayed in their strollers most of the night!

Angel. He was still slightly under the weather and drowsy from the antibiotics so he was pretty tame and there were no "bees" buzzing about.

Lillee's Easter basket. New Liberty of London skirt from Target and some cool animal stamps with an awesome pink and purple stamp pad. And what's an Easter basket without some yummy sparkling grape juice. Alice in Wonderland and some flipflops!

Baxter's basket complete with gum eggs, The Squeakquel, a tugboat to paint and some Play Doh eggs!

Tough to make out but some sweet Little People in some very large plastic eggs.

Good Friday

We went here for Good Friday to hear Chris Tomlin and Louie Giglio. The latter was a little long winded but Matt Redman and Chris totally made up for it. It was a really fun time with great friends and some terrific youth.

Springtime Homework

What beautiful days we've had lately. We enjoyed sitting outside doing sentences for homework. It's time to spread the big Spiderman comforter out in the grass and read some books. I hate LGK didn't have her pigtails on for this pic. Bonnie, our neighbor, came over a couple of weeks ago and put them up and she's not wanted any other hairstyle ever since. Thanks Bonnie! It's not too bad unless I don't have them equally weighted with hair, they are not even on her head, the part in the back is not straight (now how does she know this?) or the bands I'm using are just aweful mama. Oh the woes of girls. All Bax requires is a little spray from the water bottle and some $ .99 Aussie sculpting gel.

I love a man that sleeps with no shirt!

Growing up, my dad slept without a shirt on. We see Scotty sleeping in sweatshirts and tshirts (with holes and yellow underarm stains). Lillee Grace would never sleep with both of my parents if my dad was not wearing a shirt!
Along comes Baxter who I'm supposing either A) had a meltdown and slung his shirt off sometime before bed or B) decided to be like Poppy. I'm going to go with B! Either way, Ben loves him. Now that he's got sleeping shirtless with pirate pajama bottoms down, it's time to get him loving Carharts!
These boys are seriously going to be best friends. Ben thinks whatever Bax does is great! Maybe except the thumb sucking!
