Our first post. :)

Well, lets see...
It's 2pm and the kids are napping and I'm online typing when I should be napping too. I stayed up until 5am this morning because I had the sudden urge to bake some granola bars. Yeah, I don't quiet understand it myself. I tend to lack in the sleeping department, I can never seem to go to sleep so instead I get up and clean or bake something/s.This morning I baked Chewy Granola Bars recipe courtesy of SmittenKitchen.com here is the direct link to the CHEWY GRANOLA BARS!

Chewy Granola Bars

The recipe was pretty good I give it a 4 out of 5. I say 4 because it's VERY sweet, too sweet to ever consider a good treat for your children. I will opt to omit the corn syrup and half the sugar next time I make up a batch. I did add a little Organic Coconut oil in it with my almond butter for a nice smooth coconut taste. Very yummy.

After making the bars I went to bed and said good morning the to the hubby on his way to work. I got up 3 hours later with the kids and we spent 2 hours doing a lot of nothing until Katy came over. She usually comes around at 10am-4:30pm.
Then a lot of crazy kid screaming and silly giggles, as our usual day happens. I was making grilled cheese today I realized we had no butter, I used it all this morning so I had to make some. The kids thought it was so fun to shake their containers of cream until it became a little mess of creamy butter. I cheated and made the family batch in the Kitchen aid mixer of course. Mom's can cheat, it's allowed when cooking. Why else would they make these fancy machines, right?
All the kids enjoyed eating their homemade butter with their crackers for an after lunch treat. Then to clean up and take naps. :) Which is where we/I am now. 2:10PM now and the kids shall be waking soon so I must speed type.

Left on the agenda today:
1) Get dressed, pj's and messy hair won't cut it.
2) Finish homework
3) Go to Commissary
4) Possibly go to BED BATH AND BEYOND (a fav. of mine)
5) Cook dinner, if I don't the kids will be eating fruit snacks and cheese sticks for dinner. Why oh why can't hubby think of 1 healthy meal. :)
6) Go to class
7) Come home, complain about how cold it is in class and then somehow be amazed that 2 hours that I'm gone hubby did a lot of NOTHING. Everytime.
8) Send hubby to bed while pretending it's okay and I'll clean it myself, yet as I clean I mumble in my head all the things I wanna shout and yell about. Never fair that I do so much, life I guess.
9) Study for quiz on Saturday.
10) Possibly go to bed, if not then I'll bake!

Sounds like a plan. Oh, darn just thought, may not be able to go to BB&B after all gotta go to Napa and get car parts. Lameo!
Have a good day,

My boys, being silly.
