Got Boo'ed

10/27/2016

0 Comments

 
The other night we heard a knock at the door, the dog went nuts, and the kids just looked at each other for a minute. It was after dark and they couldn't imagine who was at the door. When Dad answered the door, there was nothing but a basket of goodies. The treats had a note attached explaining that we'd been "Boo'ed"

I've seen posts on Pinterest and my favorites blogs about this new Halloween idea and I've always wanted to to be "Boo'ed". It just looked like so much fun so when it happened, I was elated.

The kids are reading the instructions on how to continue the "boo".
I gathered up some items we had at home, printed out the adorable tags from TomKat, and ran to get more treats to add to the baskets we were going to leave on someones door step. Tonight we ran around town dropping off our treats and trying not to get caught. We almost had more fun dropping off the treats than we did the night we found our amazing boo basket.
The kids don't think that they will be able to make it through the day tomorrow without blabbing.

Bananas about Yonanas

8/8/2016

1 Comment

 
We are nuts about our Yonanas machine.

Right before Mother's Day we were all at Costco, prowling for samples,.. ugh, shopping for groceries. We talked our mom into letting us buy that for her for Mother's Day. As soon as we got home, we immediately put it together and rummaged through all the fruit in the house. It came with a recipe book, that we have used since ten, but that first day, we experimented. We use it so much, we leave it out on the counter.

When we first bought it, we got a CASE of bananas from our local Bountiful Baskets. We stayed up LATE peeling bananas, chopping apples, and peeling oranges. We put all of the fruit in individual bags so that went the mood strikes, the ingredients are ready. Different types of fruit are mixed together in the bags, some according to the recipe book and some "Medley made" recipes.

Put the fruit in and press the plunger down.

Our fruit separated into bags is ready to go!

Making Gummies

12/28/2015

Santa brought me a Gummy Candy Maker for Christmas and while we are snowed in we thought we'd give it a try. They were delicious and so easy to make. We used knox gelatin and sugar free cherry for our first batch. The entire batch only had 15 calories! The bears and worms only lasted a few minutes here so we are off to make batch #2!

Healthy Recipes
We plan to keep making gummies and our mom plans to sneak vitamins and good stuff like that in some of them too. There are recipes all over the internet like these from DIY Natural. 

Fun Molds
Making them into fun shapes that taste good will make us all happy. We have been looking at so many of the great options out there. Our Star Wars mold will be coming soon!

Bahama Bucks Rocks

7/6/2011

0 Comments

 
For a cool treat on a really hot day, our mom took us to Bahama Bucks. My sister said that she had a coupon, but it expired like a year ago... the things that girl keeps in her purse! But we got a punch card and filled it almost half way up with just one visit!
Picture

MENU
They have snow cones, ice cream, smoothies, and even "sno balls." The flavors come in all sorts of types - including sugar free. My mom even got a cup of fruit!

TURNING TOUNGES
The flavors were all so good; we shared bites with each other. After a little while our tounges turned colors so we stuck them out but our omo wouldn't take a picture.

BRAIN FREEZZE
One thing you have to be careful about at Bahama Bucks is eating it too fast that you get a brain freeze. But if you do get a brain freeze, just stick your tounge on the roof of your mouth to warm it all up again.

OVERALL
You can't beat a great snow cone on a hot day and with all of the flavor choices, Bahama Bucks is great.

You can even get a party pack and take snow cones for your whole group... hint, hint - mom

The Schwan's Man

The Schwan's Man comes to our house every few weeks and when our mom buys stuff from the Schwans man, we really like it alot. We have lots of favorites - like the bagel dogs and the ice cream. We don't have to go to the grocery store for that long when we get stuff from the Schwans Man either,  but we really like it when our mom lets us go out to the truck to help get the stuff because the Schwan's man can make it snow!

Bedtime at the Museum, but it's Not Bedtime

6/16/2011

0 Comments

 
We went to the Museum at Texas Tech tonight for a special program for kids, Bedtime at the Museum. It was light outside tough. We even wore our pajama's to the Museum. That was sort of funny.
Picture

We really like the museum. Upstairs there were lots of paintings about baseball. My baby brother just kept saying base-ball whenever he would see a ball in the picture. That was funny. My sister told the man at the desk that he sure had "some amazing paintings." He thought that was kind of funny.

They thought it was sort of funny too when we asked them if they played fetch with the big dinosaurs after the museum closed like in Night at the Museum. They said sure, but I don't think that they really do. maybe

We walked around the museum while we waited and looked at all the neat cool stuff. My sister liked the old dresses, but that part wasn't totally open yet.


When it was time we went back to explore-a-tarium and we played with trains and looked at bones and eggs... then it was time to sit and listen to the story. There were a bunch of kids there and we all sat on nap mats to listen to the story. It was a story about baseball (by Alex Rodriguez). A boy practices a lot to be really good at baseball and his team won the championship. It was a good story. 


Picture

After that we went into the room and made a pennant with our names on it. We got to decorate them however we wanted. Then we got a stick to put them on so that we could wave them around. My brother waved his too much outside and my dad had to run fast to chase it down before the wind blew it across the street. My brother was screaming, almost crying and my dad took off running... he caught it though.

When we were almost done decorating the pennants, they brought us cookies and juice as a bedtime snack. We ate cookies and hadn't even had supper yet. That was fun.

Shallow Ice is Too Cool!

6/2/2011

0 Comments

 
In the middle of the day, Levi Stinson, owner and operator of the Shallow Ice stand in Shallowater was quite busy. This is his first week to be open this summer and it seems that the people in Shallowater were ready for him to open once again. The shaved ice stand consists of an unbrella, two chairs and a table loaded with an ice machine and a great selection of flavors - like pina colada, tigers blood, bubble gum and more...

We ordered two tigers blood, a bubble gum and just a cup of yummy shaved. It took quite awhile to get the fourth cup because Levi had to get a new block of ice - and it was giant! it looked like the bottom of a soda can, kind of. It was well worth the wait. That ice was really smooth and it just tasted great.

We brought the shaved ice back home to enjoy them. "The best part about my shaved ice was the flavor," said Preston

Overall
The service was super friendly. The owner is not a grown up, which is cool for kids.

The ice is amazing. It was cool seeing the big block of ice getting turned into little pieces of snow. The flavors are delicious. I think that tiger blood is the best.

Find Shallow Ice at the corner of 8th and Ave L in Shallowater

    After watching the first episode of Nickelodean iCarly, where the main character decides to do a web show, my kids decided that they would like to do a "show". Choosing to share our experiences with others, sounded like a really fun idea.
    ​
    After going to a restaurant or on an outing, we talk about how we felt about it and what we each think and then we share those thoughts and ideas with you.
