"Daddy, I love you! Thank you for my new swing set"

-
Oh my gosh, Kenzie almost peed her pants when daddy and Matt brought the swing set over the fence to the house. I will explain the story later. She had so much fun with it!
"Sissy, are you sure this is safe? I am not so sure about it!" Maddie didn't really know what to think of the slide. She hated the glider. She just isn't big enough yet to know what to do on a slide. We will be getting an infant swing to put on it for her. Then maybe she will start to like it.
"Mommy, it has a slide too"
Sittin pretty! I loved this pose. She is so into taking pics today!
Look at her! She loved it! She couldn't wait to get on the glider, swing, slide. She wanted to do it all!
Wow, Daddy pushes me. Kenzie's teacher doesn't push the kids on the swing. If they can't do it themselves, they get no help so she was shocked when Daddy helped her.
Now for the story about the swingset. I have been pricing them for a while and my neighbor came over and said that his neighbor to the rear would sell me the swing set for a mere $40. That is less than 1/2 of the lowest price I had found. I jumped on the offer and told Ryan to stop by the ATM on the way home. So there is the story. Now for the significance of getting the swingset. I decided that instead of buying something the girls could play with inside, I wanted to get an outdoor toy for Madison for her birthday. I also got Kenzie's report card today which was great. So the toy was for a birthday and a reward for a good report card. Kenzie loved it and was so surprised when Matt told her that the swing would be staying here forever. She thought he was just letting us borrow it, but now that she knows it is hers, she is so darn excited!
I had a good day. I was up until 2am working on the wedding cake that I forgot to get a pic of, but there will be other times when I do a cake that I will get the pic. I got another order for next week today. It is a babyshower cake. So now next week, I have Maddie's birthday cake for the party, and a baby shower cake to do. I think it will be tons of fun!
Kenzie had a good day at school and then came home and helped me finish the invites for Maddie's birthday party. She also helped me buy the decorations for it. We went to the grocery and she was so good that I didn't even mind when she sneaked a hershey bar onto the belt when she knew I wasn't looking.
Maddie got a birthday present today. She loved her outfits Yaya and Pappy!
And that about sums it all up!
Love,
~Dawn~

Chocolate Brittle Surprise

-
Last night, knowing that my brother often has a sweet tooth at night, I made some Chocolate Brittle Surprise. Here is the recipe since I promised I would put it here for Candice: Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Then lightly spray with pan spray (like Pam). Line the cookie sheet with saltine crackers. Boil 1 cup butter and 3/4 cups of brown sugar for 3 minutes. cover the crackers with this butter/sugar mixture. Bake at 400 for 5 minutes. Then put 12 ounces of semisweet chocolate chips over that immediately after it comes out of the oven. as it melts spread the chocolate so it evenly coats the crackers. Chill the brittle in the refrigerator or freezer until hard. Crack like you would peanut brittle, then store in ziploc bags in the freezer. Yummy! Amanda makes this all the time and since I wanted something cheap and easy to make, I made this. It is so goooood! Kenzie is at school and I am about to work on my Research Paper for school. Hope all is well. Maddie has ...

Lots going on in the future.

I have joined up with a group of my friends and we are planning some get togethers. We will be doing play dates at each other's houses. We are hoping to be able to do a christmas party in december. i am also hoping that in the future we can have some mdo activities (mom's day out). in addition to this we are working on a recipe book to share our favorite recipes. we are also doing a babysitting swap starting soon so that we can just swap with one of the girls. I would watch April's two kids so she can have mommy time, and she would swap another night with me to watch my two kids. I think it will really work out well for all of us. Kenzie is starting to learn some sight words. She can already recognize the words I, A, and Can. I know it is only three words, but she is learning that is what matters most at this moment. I can't wait for her to learn more words as she progresses in Kindergarten. Maddie came up to me today and said, "MOMMY BATHROOM!" so ...
