linky for chris

this is for chris. this dude is a math genius, he solved the most redic math problem the reward was 1 MILLION dollars. which he does not want...and lives in deplorable conditions. quite fascinating i thinks...i actually watched the vid for 1 min and 15 seconds before i got bored. this is for you chris....now go solve a math problem and get us a million...i would have fun spending that...who doesn't have a list of how they would spend a million bucks. if you don't, you should. you just never know. i have about 10 lists. for 10 different amounts of money. how fun would it be to spend a million bucks? i would have much fun sending people away to disney :) and paying off debt/bills. fun stuff

oh yeah, here's the linky... (see how quickly i lose focus and just all over the place)

* had to add. those lists are in my head. i never actually sat down and wrote them out. that would be something chris would do.... 3 comments

bakerella queen

i have a fun filled weekend with much food to be made. so i thought i would start last night. i baked for 3 hours. non-stop. i finally got to try some new recipes that chris would not like. ha. boy did that back fire on him!

top left. those are the. most. amazing. evah. easy-peasy cookies to make! and LOW cal!
take some choc chips i used 1/2 cup. melt in micro (watch they don't burn)
toss in some raisins, special k, rice crispies
LIGHTLY coat with choc. put in the fridge. voila.
next time i will try nuts, cranberries and healthier cereal

bottom left. these bad boys shocked chris and i. they are now our most fav cookie! chris doesn't like spice or molasses anything. but these bad boys changed his mind. they are spice ginger snap with lemon icing. and at 40 calories a cookie you can't go wrong!!! AMAZING!

middle plate, lemon delights. they lack the delight part. i tossed them out.

bottom right. 5 dozen choc chip cookies. all for chris. they are his now second fav cookie

top right. 5 dozen spice, oatmeal, choc chip. really yummio.

now my house is filled with cookies and smells Divine.

i am off to brew a cup o java and have another molasses lemon cookie. yum! 0 comments

i laughed and asked him what he was doing

he said

"yaya wait for mommy. mommy take of yaya's shoes. please"

new socks!

nate got a package in the mail yesterday from his crafty, knitting aunty ursi

he tore right on in to it

he saw the socks and was quite thrilled. he took his socks off and put the new ones on right away. then he took off running "very, very, vary fast" and slid on the tiles with them. they are perfect!! they fit his wonderfully and i love that they fit in side his rubber boots. they will keep his feet warm and dry. thanks so much aunty ursi!!!!
