OHH Tasty!

A fellow NU Alumnus has a baked goods business in CA check it out here. .  She makes lots of really tasty looking treats, the Lollibakes look really tempting, but shipping them from CA might not help the freshness.  So I gave it a shot.  I am not going to to tell you how to do it here, not yet anyway, but I used strawberry cake and frosting coated in chocolate. It is like a chocolate covered strawberry.  They are not nearly as pretty as Diana's and I am pretty sure her from scratch taste way better than my box mixes but we liked them.  They could be fun to make with the kids when they are older but too time consuming for Dimples. They are the perfect snacking size and were a hit at the picnic.  Buggy suggested making them to look like fairy wands for her next birthday....hummmmm.  We have already been asked to bring them to some bake sales for local churches, pretty popular I guess.  I need to play with some ideas to make them Christmas tree ornaments. 

A long...............time between posts...sorry

It has been a very busy summer here with swimming and gymnastics and all our wonderful summer activities.  We are a few weeks into the school year and so far Buggy is having a good time.  She attends Baraboo Community Christian School, a brand new school with a "one room school house" feel to it.  The  kindergarten through third Grade are all in one room, letting Bethy work at her own pace.  Dimples and I are spending most of our time at home together, with rips to the "gym"  for him, and sometimes the library.  It seems to be lot easier to get grocery shopping and such done this way.
