For the past month or so life has been a lot different than what the "norm" is for us. Brandon has been home a lot more after Brayden's surgery, and of course now I am always home, so we have all been getting to spend tons of time together. All that was over today :( Bray's cast come off tomorrow and now Brandon is back to his normal work schedule. I can't really complain to much though, we still have a lot of time together even with his normal schedule :) Soooo today is the first in a really long time, longer than I can even remember actually, that it is just me and little man here today. He is absorbed in Mickey's Playhouse, and I am preparing for grocery shopping. We have some houses to go see later today, going to take advantage of the nice temps and go for a walk, and Sissy has to have her haircut. Pretty busy day actually.
The cake was so good, too good! I had to get it out of the house before it completely ruined my attempt at dieting. It was really simple too. I took a box of chocolate fudge cake mix, added about 2/3 cups of Reeses peanut butter chips into the batter and baked as normal. As soon as it came out I poked holes all over the top of the cake and poured 1 cup each of chocolate fudge and caramel syrup over the tope so that it oozed down into the holes. Yummo! And the homemade applesauce turned out great too! Pretty proud of my first few attempts at being domesticated. Hmm, maybe my lil' man and I will grab some canning stuff today and see how I do. There are some pretty good veggie and fruit sales going on that I saw!
Still trying to find just the right sizes of old wood to do my signs ... and frames for the kids names. I will be sure to post up pics of those when they are finished up!
** So, realtor never called back to go view properties ... so they just lost a client! Grocery shopping went out the window when he took a nap and I only had maybe a hour before the bus came and housework just wasn't on my motivation list for the day! Soooo ... sissy got her haircut, we had dinner and tackled a little coupon shopping at Wal-Mart! I got three rolls of Brawny paper towels for .77c/each, two suave deodarents for .47c/each, two packs of BIC pens for free and some floss for free! I would have had five things of floss for free if the cashier hadn't messed up my order, he didn't scan 4 of the floss coupons in and missed a deo coupon. Frustrating!
