Eraser Treasure Hunt!
It is a beautiful day here in southern California! We are enjoying 70 + degree weather and the sunshine is grand :)
I got this idea from the Happy Home Fairy.
I headed over to the dollar bins at Target and picked up a bag of funny little erasers.
 | |
| While Max was at school I hid the erasers all over the backyard. |
 |
| I hid them in the citrus trees and in the garden. Max and Mia loved the hunt. |
They were really all out in the open, but it was still a challenge.
Here they are with there handfuls.
I don't know what we will do with all those erasers now though. Maybe we will give them out with all of the Valentine's on Sunday at church or to Max's classmates on Monday :)
Sweet and Salty Monday
Hurray for a new week!
I am celebrating by making these brownies that I spotted on the pioneer woman's tasty kitchen blog.
In other news: this week I will be busy making valentine's day plans and hoping to hear good news about the house we made an offer on last week!

Spaghetti Madness!
My husband hates pasta. He really hates spaghetti.
The kids and I love pasta. Our most favorite is spaghetti!
I actually think I make great spaghetti. I make my own spaghetti sauce and cover the noodles with butter. We have started our own little sneaky tradition. Whenever Ty works late we have spaghetti for dinner! It gives the rest of us something to look forward to while we are missing our favorite man around the house.
Here's to spaghetti madness!

Celebrating World Nutella Day
With Nutella Fudge Cookies!sorry about the terrible picture. My camera is almost out of batteries and the red background is awful, but the cookies are amazing! Trust me, I wouldn't lie about nutella or cookies :)
Here is the recipe:
1 cup flour
1/2 cup cocoa
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup nutella
2 eggs
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
Cream the butter with the sugars. Add the vanilla.
In another bowl mix together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the nutella and the eggs to the butter mixture.
Stir in the flour mixture.
Allow batter to sit for about 10 minutes and preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Bake for about 8 minutes.
Enjoy with lots of milk.
Strawberry Pot
Mia loves strawberries!My dad is always buying them for a special treat and Mia can't get enough. I took her to Home Depot this morning to look for her very own strawberry planter.
We filled the little strawberry pot with soft moist dirt. Mia told me that she would not like to eat the dirt ;)We planted the little strawberry seeds and put the pot out to sit in the sunshine. We gave the seeds a little water. Mia wanted to give them soymilk. Now Mia is looking forward to her little strawberry plants. I hope they grow!

Don't Forget!
If you have never tried nutella I recommend eating it in abundance. It goes great with strawberries, in a sandwich with bananas, on top of waffles, in cookies or brownies, or spread onto graham crackers.Happy Nutella Day :)

Heart Attack!
Sometimes Max feels like he misses out on fun at home while he is away at school. I want him to know we are always thinking about him!We moved on in from the door and decorated the bedroom walls.
I made lots of pink and red hearts. I even made some white ones for variety, but I quickly realized that white hearts on white walls looked kind of pointless. (They worked on the bed though!)
A trail of hearts went up the ladder to Max's bed where we left a special treat!
Can't wait to see his face :)
