Pine Wood Derby Time!

Friday was the big night! B got to race his B6 Bomber! Although he was sick with influenza throughout almost all of the building of it, he did awesome the night of the big race. B earned 5th out of 18! Not too bad for a tiger cub!

Playground in January?

We have been so lucky to have gorgeous weather the last few weeks. It hasn't even snowed yet and it is January! The boys and I took Cyler to the dog park yesterday and enjoyed the playground afterwards.

C discovers snap, crackle, and pop for the first time!

Our Rockin' New Years Eve

New Year's was supposed to be celebrated with our very good friends, but trouble hit when C started puking the night before. We decided not to infect the rest of the nation, so we stayed home. We crafted, popped balloons every hour, made homemade pizza, drank ice cream drinks, and little Mr. crashed at 7:30pm. We were awakened a few hours after midnight be B puking! Gotta love the flu bug!

Send me back to work...I can't stop cooking!

So far this break I have made a million different little goodies for my buddies. These are a few of my favorites. First, the BEST crispy cinnamon waffles with homemade whipped cream. For reals...the best waffles I have ever eaten! Next, these were supposed to be for NYE--before throw up fest began! These are pepperiment oreo covered brownies. AWESOME! And finally, I made these for my in laws for Christmas Eve breakfast...make your own fritattas. They turned out darn delicious and even C ate them!
