February Recap Via Instagram

We started out rainy.

 Packages are always fun...especially from Shutterfly:)

 Groundhog Day Donuts

 Adding some color to the Airstream.

 Shopping for Airstream stuff...these are the countertops for the kitchen.

 Spaghetti night is always interesting.

 I made southwestern egg rolls for dinner...and the boys LOVED them!

 Three boys in three desks.

 Popcorn and a movie on a rainy afternoon.

 Somebody got a little excited about a Little Debbie snack cake:)

 We made Shrinky Dinks:)

 And they were really shrinky!

 Doing some research for our trip.

 Much needed girls day and pedicure. Don't you love those foam flip flops:)

 Dinner with friends...and almost getting in trouble for playing on the escalator!

 Fudge made by my Granddaddy! The BEST fudge EVER!

 More work on the Airstream. Some flooring down and bathroom complete!

 Live music at the local Mexican restaurant.

 Saturday morning soccer games.

 We love Target...and the big red balls:)

Coffee!

Early mornings doing P90X are slowly turning me into a coffee drinker!

What's in Your Lunchbox?

*graham crackers*

*granny smith apple*

*sugar free chocolate pudding*

*marshmallows*

*capri sun*

*whole wheat goldfish*

*ham roll-up*

*grapes*

This is what the boys' lunchboxes look like most days.

{except the marshmallows were a treat today}

Sometimes the grapes are switched out for carrots, the apple is switched out for a banana, the pudding is switched out for applesauce or yogurt, and the goldfish are switched out for Sun Chips....and sometimes they get leftover pizza instead of a roll-up or PB&J sandwich!

What does your "lunchbox" usually look like?

Brownie Stuff

I like brownies.

And I really like this yummy dessert that we call Brownie Stuff!

BUT we only have 89 days until we leave on our big road trip. That will be here soon...and my behind has got to get into shape so that I can enjoy all of the great outdoors on our trip. There will be lots of hiking and biking and walking and mountain climbing for me to do in three months and I want to be ready for it. SO Jason and I started the P90X program today. Let me tell you...it is hard! Getting up at 4:45 this morning was not pretty, but I knew I had to work off this yummy dessert that we devoured this weekend:)

It is kind of painful to share this yummy dessert with you knowing that it will be quite a while before I will enjoy it again...but that doesn't mean you can't whip it up for your family:) 

 We call this Brownie Stuff. It is sort of like a trifle, but it's a lazy version of a trifle because there is only one layer of each thing...so I just call it Brownie Stuff:) All you need to make this {way too yummy chocolate heaven dessert} is a box of brownie mix, a box of instant chocolate pudding, and a tub of Cool Whip {plus the eggs, oil, and milk needed to make the brownies and pudding}.

 Start by mixing up your instant pudding according to the directions on the box. Then stick it in the fridge to chill.

 Mix your brownies according to the directions on the box, bake them in a 13X9 pan, cool them completely, then crumble them up in the pan. I usually take out the corners and any of the edges that get crispy and eat them as a snack...you want your Brownie Stuff to get soft and gooey:)

 Layer your chilled pudding on top of the crumbled brownies...

...and top it off with a layer of Cool Whip. Stick your Brownie Stuff in the fridge to chill for a couple of hours. This is even better the next day when all the pudding has soaked into the brownies and turned into soft chocolate yumminess! I wanted to get a picture of it all scooped up pretty on a plate, but we ate it so quick that there was no time to grab my camera:) 

So to recap:
Make this yummy dessert for your family!
I'll not be making or eating it for at least 3 months.
And I'll be working hard at P90X!
But I'll be craving Brownie Stuff the whole time:)
