Today is so much fun!! We are getting so much snow :) Some of the kids we have now are public school kids and they have the day off. I was planning on doing school with my bigger crew and just giving all the 5 & under's the day off...but hubby called from work and told me ALL the kids have the day off to play in the snow! So, off I went to bake chocolate chip cookies for cookies & milk later...am going to make a yummy fruit salad for dinner along with homemade bread...YUM! And hot cocoa and toast for dessert :) I love thinking that my kiddos will remember all the fun snow days and yummy treats...that's what makes childhood fun, right??
I am in "use it up week"...it is so much fun! That may sound nutty...but it is! So far today I have used up the ends of 3 boxes of crackers...we are using up the last bag of flour and the last bag of sugar ( I buy many at a time, so it's time to get them used up)...I am using up fruit that's getting too ripe for the fruit salad..oh yeah...I used up the last of the chocolate chips for the cookies...I didn't even have enough chips, so I got creative and threw in the last few mini Reese's pieces...so they are neat cookies! I am even stretching my "use it up" thinking to Ashley's B-day party...and am thinking of things to make to decorate without spending and cleaning out. I have a few ideas so I am excited. Her party is Sat....she is having a sleepover and is having 5 girls! There will be 17 kids here...LOL...crazy huh!
Well, I have to go as lunch is over and some kids are making beaded jewelery and some are wanting to play play dough and Ty wants to create something from twist ties (from garbage bags)...lol..when they are left to their own devices they get really creative!
Have a blessed day!!
