• Catching up...

  We made it home from CT.  It was a great trip.  The kids had so much fun.  Trevor got to go skiing twice, we went to the Peabody Museum, had a crazy party with my crazy family, did a little shopping, I got hooked on BBC America, and survived the flights with no melt down or tantrums.  What more could one ask for?

  

  That is my brother on the drums, my mom on bass, Trevor with the crazy wig and my cousin Ryan with the nut shaker thingy.  My mom's friend Arthur and my sis's boyfriend Chris are also playing.  We may be weird but at least we are entertaining!

  So now we are settled back home for the most part.  Terry surprised me by painting the bathroom...two walls deep blue, two walls "mango madness" and the ceiling fire engine red.  *sigh*  What can you do?  I'll live with it for now since the boys love it.

  I made cinnamon rolls the other day with a new recipe.  They came out pretty nice.  Very tasty but a denser texture.  They were yummy though.  I also found a lovely pyrex bowl at the antique store.  It's not in the best of condition but it has birds on it so I had to have it!  Yumminess and prettiness all in one!  =)

  

  I've also been working on treats for Owen to give out at his Valentine's party.  I made chocolate covered marshmallow "lollipops" and peppermint cream hearts.  The mints I don't know that I'll make again.  The dough was annoying to work with but they did come out really cute.  (the marshmallows without sticks are for me...wouldn't want to waste all that leftover chocolate, right?)

  

  I need to go pick up Trevor from his riding lesson.  But maybe I'll just have another marshmallow first...quality control!  =)
