Coloring Eggs

We went over to Brett's parents to color eggs and have some fun. I had Gwen wear the purple sweater that Kami crocheted for her. It is soooo cute.

Melodie helped me alot with Gwen to color the eggs and get everything set up.

everything needs to be blue


Luckily Gwen got into the whole thing once she saw the cups with the colors in them and found that the eggs transformed into colored ones. Of course she wanted all of them in the blue cup.

As you can see Brett just sat and watched! I don't blame him as we were both sooooo tired from only getting 3 hours of sleep that night. Gwen is having bad dreams and it is not helping in the sleep department.

The aftermath.....always such a mess.

the prep


Then as the eggs were drying the girls were napping and Kami & Melodie made chocolate covered rice krispies. Have you seen the commercial? This egg Melodie did and she of course covered the whole thing in chocolate.....my kind of girl!

Then we all had to eat one. Kami, as a joke, put some on Penelope's face! They sure were yummy.

Then the eggs were dry and ready to put stickers on. Gwen could not wait for this part. I got her Toy Story stickers and she had fun putting them on.

Brett even helped out.

dear senior citizen......



As all of you know Brett is not a Senior Citizen, but his Dad is (sorry Dad) according to the government. I was reminded today as I got the mail that this happens alot and it makes me laugh everytime and lets me have a running joke with Brett for weeks everytime we get something like this in the mail. Brett and his Dad have the same name just different middle names, and I would caution anyone who wants to do this to their own child because it can be a pain, but at moments like today it is hilarious.

We kept getting mail from AARP (Senior Citizens only club) for Brett because they think that he is his Dad. This has happened lots of times before, we have things on our credit report that are really his parents stuff. You would think that the people who handle that stuff realize that these are to separate people because they have different middle names and different SS#'s, but no, they are that dumb.

Atleast today when Brett gets home I get to call him my "sugar daddy" and "old guy". I just love having fun (hehe).

P.S. Dad YOU are not old, I just like to tease Brett, don't forget that my Dad is really the old one.


This is what I really was going to post about today. I made Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats with Chocolate topping, yummy!!! I have been thinking of these things for weeks now and found a recipe and made them for the first time!!




Here is the recipe for those who want it:

1 cup Sugar
1 cup Karo Syrup

Mix together and bring to a boil, turn off heat and add 1 cup of Peanut Butter

Pour into bowl with 6 cups of Rice Krispies

Put into 9x12 pan

1 bag of Chocolate Chips
1 bag of Butterscotch Chips

Melt together on oven or microwave. Microwave at (3) intervals of 30 seconds, mixing together after each one.

Pour on top of Rice Krispies.
