Bake Sale

Tomorrow Zoey's kindergarten class is having a bake sale during Parent/Teacher Conferences. After a month of trial and error, I decided to make chocolate dipped Oreo cookies on a stick. I think they turned out pretty good. I used a pkg of Mint Oreos and a pkg of regular Oreos. I also used regular melting chocolate and vanilla flavored orange and green.

Halloween Suckers

This week I got a paper from Zoey's teacher asking parents to donate a baked good for their bake sale. After much thought, I decided to make suckers. I made the first batch with the recipe from the Betty Crocker cookbook. It had butter, sugar, and corn syrup. The suckers turned out brown. The second recipe I tried was from AllRecipes and contained water, sugar, and corn syrup. I colored it orange and they turned out perfect.

Minnesota Vacation

Our Minnesota vacation. Here is a miss-mash of photos of our fun and super busy days! I think I need a vacation from my vacation!

A Wild Evening

Sunday we went to Sheboygan for some shopping and sight-seeing. Here we are at lake Michigan and the harbor in Sheboygan.

We ate dinner Friday night at moms. She had steak pinwheels stuffed with cheese and garlic, shrimp, asparagus, mushrooms, and garlic toast on the grill. Of course, we forgot to take a picture of the meal but we did get a picture of our desert "my birthday" cake. Let's not forget the watermelon mojitos! YUM!!! We got a little goofy.

Grandma's

Some pictures from our past two weeks of fun with Grandma in Manitowoc.

My yard, after some hard work and the help of Michele.

Easter

We colored Easter Eggs on Friday. The girls had a lot of fun. Easter bunny came Saturday night and hid Abby's basket in the shower, Zoey's basket in the shoe closet, and Carly's basket in the dryer. They got books, candy, a plate and cup.
