Christmas Wishes in the Cox House

-
As some of you know, I tend to try and shop very early for Christmas. I have been trying to get some ideas going for this year. I asked Kenzie what she wanted Santa to bring her this year and her reply was, "Mommy, I want you to bring me a scooter and Daddy buy me a MOTORCYCLE. A pink one. Not like Pappys. I want a little one." I just thought it was tooooooo cute since she can't stand to hear a motorcycle running near us in the car. So, I am kicking up some thoughts for everyone else also. If you know that you are on our list and have any ideas please e mail me so I can adjust the list accordingly. I know that some of you are going to be wanting a list from me.

*Ryan has a list of fiesta that I want (e mail him if you need it)
*The new fiesta color this year is ivory
*Ryan has a list of cake decorating supplies I need (he is thinking about getting some for our anniversary next month so get with him if you wanna contribute to my obsession of cake decorating).
*this really cool new gizmo for my kitchen aide mixer (again e mail ryan if you need the deets)
*an extra mixing bowl for the mixer
* my american cake decorating magazine subscription is no more. I forgot to renew it, so I would like that in addition to a subscription to mbn (mailbox news) it is another cake decorating magazine.
*among other games are you smarter than a 5th grader for the wii

and I will update my list as I find things I might want. I have gone into the DO NOT BUY FOR YOURSELF mode.

The kids are doing great.

Kenzie is really getting into books.

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 ...
