Happy Valentine's Day! <3

Day 100!!

And When You're Done With the Snow...

Yes, another snow day today so the kids were home again and, since the preschool follows what the school system does, I was home with them! :) I've done a lot of "blog surfing" the last few days...I miss my craftin' blogs since I'm always so busy with school and I was also looking for ideas for my kids at preschool. But then I had to go and make a stop over at the Picky Palate where Jenny had posted these a few days ago. Why did I have to stop in?! In a matter of seconds I had texted Randy to also grab a bag of Double Stufs at the store - I have very little self-control when it comes to chocolate...add in some Double Stufs and I am so there!

Rylee is usually the first one in the kitchen to help me but today Reeva wanted to help so she pretty much whipped up a batch by herself in no time at all. :) The only thing we changed were the chocolate chips. Found out a little too late that I only had a few regular sized chocolate chips (we can't have that now can we?!) so we added mini-chips and chocolate chunks so that we would have enough chocolate chips for our cookies. They turned out delicious - and rich! I don't think anyone could eat more than one - ok, maybe two. :)

After mixing the dough you actually cover the top and the bottom of a Double Stuf and then form the dough in a ball around the cookie....

like so....

and 10 minutes later....wa-lah!!


Yummy!!

Now head on over to the Picky Palate for a yummy recipe of your choice...and let me know how it goes! :)

I {heart} Snow Days

I have to say that I love having a snow day every once in a while where we all get to play hookie for a day...be lazy, play in the snow, drink hot cocoa and make snow ice cream. Here a few of the moments I captured today.
