Valentine's

I know, I know. It was a month ago! I just realized I never posted any pictures.
Rylee goes to preschool on Tuesdays and Thursdays. They had a Valentine's Party on Thursday, Feb. 12th. She made some Valentine's for her friends. I wrote all the words, but Rylee wanted to write all the names and sign them. She did a very good job. We filled little baggies with gummy bears and teddy grahams and the note said "You are my beary special friend." (idea from a magazine; i'm not that creative) Jenna and Asa were busy with a sticker book while we worked on Rylee's cards. Then, friends joined us for some fun. We never made it out of our jammies, though. I love having friends who don't mind that we are still in pajamas at 10am. Cody, Kyle, and Andrew were lots of fun. Cody read to the whole crew. Way to go, Cody! I snapped some really sweet shots of all three handsome boys. And, I must admit that all the photos of me and kids being silly were retouched. I was not about to broadcast my two red zits on the blog. So, even us non-supermodels use the "retouch" button on the digital pictures every now and then. Just keeping it real! Then, on Friday, we went to a Valentine's party at the church. The kids had lots of fun eating snacks, decorating cookies, playing games, and dancing.

Double Trouble at the Fire Station

A few weeks ago Rylee's preschool was having a special visit from the firetruck. I knew the twins would be sad to hear they missed such an awesome treat. So, on our way home from running errands, I whipped into the fire station just around the corner from our house. One of the firefighters generously let us look at the engine. He let the twins get inside, gave them each a fire hat, and gave them stickers with the "Stop. Drop. Roll." reminder. Then, we went outside and he let them get inside the ambulance.
As if seeing the firetruck and ambulance wasn't enough, a train then went by right beside the fire station! They were thrilled with all the excitement.
It was great to meet one of the faithful men who serves our area. To all of you who serve to protect our family and keep us safe...Thank You!

An Amazing Recipe

I meant to do a post on this a very long time ago, but never did. I even took pictures!
It's on my mind because this is what we're having for breakfast this morning!
Clone of a Cinnabon is absolutely amazing. Here's the link to the recipe. I think I would be infringing on copyrights or something to copy and paste. Plus, you get a better picture of it looking very professional on the allrecipes site!

The last few times I have made these rolls, I make them at night and then put them in the fridge. Then, in the morning, I can just pull them out while the oven heats and bake them for a quicker sweet treat.

Oh, my timer just went off. Time to go frost those babies and enjoy a yummy morning!
