An "interesting" new Easter treat?


I don't know how fast this will catch on anywhere else, but around here it is a new favorite. The kids call it an "Easter Nest". I call it interesting. Ingredients include: one shortbread, a LOT of chocolate sauce, some spray whipped cream, a marshmallow peep and some strawberries. Uh-huh, thats right, there is a lot going on there. I didn't try one myself, but Noah, Isaiah and Hannah gave them a thumbs up. By the way, I had nothing to do with creating this, um, treat. The kiddos did it all on their own.

Something new

This past weekend we tried something new...well, Noah did something new and we all watched. Sunday was his first day of flag football. (insert crowd cheering here.) Noah has played football at recess at school for the last couple of years and when he comes home it is all he can talk about. We decided that this year, maybe he should try it on an organized team. Me, being the somewhat cautious and protective mom thought that flag football might be the way to start, as there is no tackling involved, and so he began.
Sunday was not the nicest of days, it was a little overcast and windy. Oh, and throw in a couple sprinkles of rain for good measure. But we sat on the sidelines cheering on his team, the Eagles, nonetheless. It was a lot of fun,(a little cold)and I took lots of great pictures. So think of us when we are enjoying some football on Sunday afternoons!
Here are just a couple of pictures from the game. It looks like Noah had a great time!



Thanks for looking, until next time!
