All by Myself!

This morning I asked Anna to pick out some clothes to wear from her dresser. She was such a big helper by taking all the clothes she could carry and throwing them down the stairs! When I came upstairs, this was what she was wearing.

She has a short sleeve pajama top on (not from bedtime last night), long sleeve shirt, jeans and a dress. Notice the bottom of the dress sticking out of one of her sleeves.

This was her first time fully picking out clothes and dressing herself. So we're proud of her.

Peanut Butter Fudge

Here is an easy recipe for Peanut Butter Fudge.

1/2 cup butter
2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup milk
1 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups confectioners' sugar


DIRECTIONS
Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar and milk. Bring to a rolling boil and boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in peanut butter and vanilla. Pour over confectioners' sugar in a large mixing bowl. Beat until smooth; pour into an 8x8 inch dish. Chill until firm and cut into squares.

Anna's funny

This morning as Anna and I were getting ready to go out the door on our way to work/daycare, she was getting her baby and putting it in the carseat. When she picked up the baby and carseat she said "Oww! My back!"

I guess my back has been hurting a little too long.

Okay, maybe this'll work now.

Weird, I was trying to post about my new iced tea recipe I found and it all started translating to Hindi. So in case any of my two followers understand Hindi, I left up the post.

Okay, back to business. Here is my new AWESOME Iced Tea recipe I got from top secret recipes! It's awesome in taste, but takes a couple hours to make.

I did a double recipe for 1 gallon of tea.

Bring 16 cups of water to boil and take off heat, then add two tea bags. (I used Lipton green tea with ginseng and lemon.) Cover and let steep for 1 hour. Put 4 Tbsp honey in gallon pitcher, add 1 cup sugar. Pour tea into pitcher and add 6 Tbsp lemon juice. (You can also add 1/2 tsp ginseng extract if desired. I didn't have any, and it tasted great without it.) Chill before serving.

Yum!!!
