Snow Day

I was looking forward to it snowing in Oklahoma this year. Now that Noah is 3 years old, I knew he would really enjoy it! Grammy bought him a good snow jacket and I found those ski bibs at the Etc. shop (thrift store) in town. He is all ready to go...

Luke was outfitted in a jacket that John wore when he was a little boy. Yea, I know he doesn't match...

Playing in the snow...

I had to give Luke a ride before I took him in...

Noah and I made several snow balls and had a snow ball fight.

Then he took his snow balls down the slide.

Sweet boy!

Noah really enjoyed the sled this year. He got it from Larry and Robin for his 2 year old birthday but wasn't too fond of it. But now that he is 3 he loved it...his favorite thing was to watch me ride down it and then as I rode down he would run and tackle me so we could wrestle in the snow.

John and Noah also got some good snow to bring inside for snow ice cream. I typically make cookies and cream ice cream or butterfinger ice cream both with a milk base...our favorite. But, the 'ice base' for the snow ice ream was pretty good! I just made vanilla (with Mexican vanilla thanks to Grandma!) but it was great! Great memories with my sweet boys!

Sweet Tooth...I think so!

I made beef enchiladas (Robin Jones recipe...thanks!) Saturday night and John mentioned that he had been waiting for them all week. I hadn't made them in a while; I just forgot about the recipe even though I have a complete excel list of all the recipes I do. They are all typed up in one notebook (yes, you should be jealous...I finally accomplished this cherished book after wanting to do it for years). I told him he should have mentioned he wanted me to cook beef enchiladas and I would have...easy as that. Of course at that point I asked him to go through my excel sheet and pick out some of his favorites that I don't do often enough (something a concerned wife who likes to please her husband in every way possible would have done before this prompting...here is your cue to ask your husband). He then goes through the list while smiling really big...Auntie Anne's Pretzels, fruit pizza, giant ginger cookies, pumpkin bread, sour cream cookies...

OK. I meant main meals. He comments, "Oh."

Sweet tooth. Yea! This is after I made double chocolate chip muffins that morning, 2 bags of peanut butter popcorn on Thursday, white chocolate macadamia nut cookies (love my new recipe-my favorite!) on Monday, and white chocolate chip Oreo cookies (thanks Pinterest!) on the Friday before that. And he is asking for more. Sweet tooth....can I say that again? Sweet tooth. But I don't have any complaints! I love baking and eating it just as much as him! If you ever need sweets we probably have something! Just give me a call!
