Sidewalk chalk city
In honor of the first day of spring break, the kids drew a chalk city on our back porch to drive their hotwheel cars on. It is complete with school, office building, doctor's office, lake, park, and several houses. Oh yes, and it is located just off I-90.
Chocolate covered cinnamon bears
This is the second time I've made these, now, so I thought that I'd post the "recipe". I melted 1 c. chocolate chips (I used semi-sweet) with 1 T. vegetable shortening in the top of a double boiler, stirred, and then tossed in a handful of bears into the chocolate. After making sure they were completely covered in goodness, I used a plastic for that I had broken the middle 2 tines out of to retrieve my dipped bears. The hard part is waiting for them to cool (on waxed paper). I rushed these by putting them into the fridge, but they seem to work better if allowed to cool at room temp. They are now ready for a road trip up north!

What I've been up to
Riley's primary teacher just had a baby this week (named Logan, if you didn't guess), so I made this fluffy towel (for post-bath drying and lotioning) that I saw on another blog. Also made an I-spy blanket for Carson. Today I had a wonderful treat of chocolate covered cinnamon bears. Yummy and easy to re-create. Will try on Monday...
