Our babysitting crew has been somewhat sick this week so there hasn't been one day when everyone had been here all at the same time. Between stomach bugs, strep, ear infections and colds, it has kept everyone feeling under the weather. Therefore the camera has been on the back burner.
BUT, I did catch the three amigos doing this yesterday and HAD to capture it. They were "wiping and changing diapers." Thank goodness they didn't take their pull-ups/panties off! They each took their turn....
Thank goodness they are only 2 or I would have had to put a stop to it!!!
Today Karis had a good behavior party at school that she was really excited about. It also happened to be their 3rd day this week that they could wear their pj's. She won a coloring contest today and won some "goo" that was definitely a hit!
Somehow the kids came up with this dance and song about the "goo" and performed it multiple times for us. Even Lucy is in on the fun!
After I took Karis' picture, I started to put it away and Lucy started yelling, "HEY!!! What about me???" Haha so I had to take one of her fake smile too, but cute nonetheless.
One of our favorite holiday treats is homemade chex mix! Jay made it this afternoon so we have been snacking on it ever since. YUM!
We got the recipe off of chex.com and here it is...
(We left out bagel chips, pretzels and peanuts)
| 3 | cups Corn Chex® cereal |
| 3 | cups Rice Chex® cereal |
| 3 | cups Wheat Chex® cereal |
| 1 | cup mixed nuts |
| 1 | cup bite-size pretzels |
| 1 | cup garlic-flavor bite-size bagel chips or regular-size bagel chips, broken into 1-inch pieces |
| 6 | tablespoons butter or margarine |
| 2 | tablespoons Worcestershire sauce |
| 1 1/2 | teaspoons seasoned salt |
| 3/4 | teaspoon garlic powder |
| 1/2 | teaspoon onion powder |
| Did You Know? |
| The original recipe includes Corn Chex®, Rice Chex® and Wheat Chex®. You can mix and match to suit your taste—just use a total of 9 cups of cereal. |
| Health Focus |
| To reduce the fat to 2 grams and the calories to 80 per serving, use 3 tablespoons margarine instead of the 6 tablespoons butter, omit mixed nuts and use fat-free bagel chips. |
| Special Touch |
| Make enough of this favorite mix to package up as gifts for special friends—it’s so good and always a welcome surprise! |
| 1. | In large microwavable bowl, mix cereals, nuts, pretzels and bagel chips; set aside. In small microwavable bowl, microwave butter uncovered on High about 40 seconds or until melted. Stir in seasonings. Pour over cereal mixture; stir until evenly coated. |
| 2. | Microwave uncovered on High 5 to 6 minutes, thoroughly stirring every 2 minutes. Spread on paper towels to cool. Store in airtight container. |
| Oven Directions Heat oven to 250°F. In large bowl, mix cereals, nuts, pretzels and bagel chips; set aside. In ungreased large roasting pan, melt butter in oven. Stir in seasonings. Gradually stir in cereal mixture until evenly coated. Bake 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Spread on paper towels to cool, about 15 minutes. Store in airtight container. | |
Somebody else really liked it too. I kept seeing this over and over again all afternoon. And she picked out her own outfit this afternoon by the way. This is NOT what I put her in this morning ha!
Karis' friend Precious gave her this this week and I thought it was "precious." :)
We "elfed" the kids tonight and had so many laughs watching all the different dances. The whole family sat around the computer laughing so hard our stomachs were cramping and the kids wanted to see them over and over again.
