Super Hero!

Joel and I got a sitter on Friday night, aka. the best babysitter on the planet. (No, seriously! If I were to hand pick the best, cutest, funest, 14 year old, she still would not be as good as "Hay J". It was a first for us. With our parents living so close, we are blessed with free babysitting, almost anytime we need it. This weekend, we thought we would give the grandparents the week off! Anyways, how many 14 year olds do you know that will send me a text, saying, "Hope you are having fun, we are!" She is so great! I even had to call her mom the next day, and tell her how much I LOVE HER!)
Anyways... so we went and saw Batman! Everybody seems to have to same opinion on the movie. It was great, erie, creepy, scary, lame story, long, blah blah. I think the Joker made the movie, and would see it again, only because he was so great.
But speaking of SUPERHEROS, Tearz made Superhero cookies with her boys, and they looked so fun, and yummy, I thought I would do it with my kid(s), and my adorable nephew! It was so fun, and they were yummy.





The trick to these brightly colored treats? Food color PASTE! I told the lady at the candy making store, "I want what ever it is that makes their mouths turn BLUE!" Thanks Tearz for your post, and for your friend who came up with the idea! GREAT and FUN!

Make 'em HAPPY-Monday!

I saw this great idea on a random blog! Since I had a bunch of grapes that were a day away from being mushy, and some sucker sticks that didn't get used for the baby shower I was planning, because the baby came early, I thought we would try it out.

Then stick 'em in the freezer for... several hours. These kids could only wait 4 hours...

WHEN ASKED IF THEY ENJOYED THEM:

Maggie: " I know that it took a really long time for them to freeze, it was worth waiting for becuase they were really yummy"!

Ryan: "They were stick-a-licious, juicy-a-licious, freez-a-licious. Get it?"

Me: "Nora, did you like them?"
Nora: "Yeah"
Me: "Were they freez-a-licious?"
Nora: "Yeah"
Me: "Anything else you want to say about these grape freeze things?"
Nora: "Yeah"
Me: "OK, What?"
Nora: "Mmmmore?"
