Life Lately and The Worlds Easiest Peanut Butter Cookies

I decided to stray from my usual eggplant recipe and make an eggplant pie of sorts. Awesome as always!

I like peanut butter and I like cookies but I don't really care for peanut butter cookies. 

They are far crunchier than cookies should be in my opinion. But my sister shared a super easy recipe with me and they turn out so chewy.  Mmmm! If you want to know how to make them...

Preheat oven to 350 °

1 Egg
1 Cup O' Sugar   ...you could borrow it from your neighbor if you don't have some!
1 Cup of Peanut Butter.

Mix until .....mixed?

Bake on cookie sheet for approximately 8 minutes. Add about 2 more minutes if you made 'em big like me.
Done!

Date # 5 Make a very fancy breakfast in bed. DONE!

The picture on the left is me getting all dolled up to go somewhere and the photo on the right is me being grubby and working on the garden. It is weeded and expended, ready for spring! 

We also completed Date #9 Make lemon meringue pie together. 

... But it was eaten so fast there were no pictures! Sorry!

Totally random but, I don't know why I never thought of layering tights before. I thought it looked pretty rad! 

Date # 17 Take a drive. Here, there, anywhere is now complete!

You can't tell in the photo above but there were so many swans flying above us!

The short way home.                                                 The long way home. 

We love Washington.

We also finished Date #16 

  Have a game night. Every kind of game! Cards. Console. Board games. 

FYI I have become rather vicious at Poker if I do say so myself. Watch out!

Being a Teacher

This is what being a weekend teacher 

Looks like during the week Of ValentinEs day. 

Glitter hearts from their last teacher's project pinned on the wall

Love is in the air

Things pinned on our board

"Aaron's Staff" and  "Children of Light" Projects.

The Lanterns they used were actually the ones we used for our wedding. 

I thought instead of them sitting in a closet somewhere, maybe the kids would enjoy them. It was a really fun project. 

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

Here they were. I had the bridesmaid and groomsmen carry them up to the isle and set them 

down in a path leading up to the front and center. .... I really could not have had a better wedding.

It was such a wonderful day. 

Anyway, I am getting side tracked with wedding pictures!

Back to the kids... hehee

Exchanging Valentines.

One of the girls in a younger class came running in, to give one of our boys a card. 

He slowly read/pronounced the words "You make me want to dance" which was printed on the card.

Then shot the most squeemish look to me like NO! I DON'T LIKE GIRLS! Hahhaaha

So here is a look into my little class! 

Let us pretend you can't tell the teachers collar necklaces from the 6 year old's. ;D

Man, I love those guys.

Date #2 Go To An Arcade

This is what we did for Valentines day. What did you do?

Only problem, we ran out of quarters!!! 

Hawk!

I took this picture when we were driving, and obviously edited the bejeebers out 

of it but I am really happy with how it turned out.

 Whatcha think? 

A Question About Short Hair & My New Favorite Book

^---Right now this is my favorite book.

Yes, it is a children's book and I am an adult but quite frankly, I don't care! A good book is a good book right?  Right, right! For the most part it lives on our fridge next to our new, neat-o globe. *4$ Thrift Store find! Woop! Woop!* All the short stories within it are written really differently than the Disney stories I grew up with, which is a really refreshing change! Some of them are just totally ridiculous but others are just so wildly original, I love it! Jared and I have been reading random stories before bed and something I have learned is to have him read every other page or he falls asleep almost instantly...

 -_- ...z z Zz... 

...which is rather discouraging when it took almost a week to read him 2 pages. I am not even joking.

He looks so sweet though, how could I be mad? However I think it might be a good idea to slow down on reading these crazy stories right before bed since it has been provoking some intensely weird dreams. I keep dreaming of bears. Bears. BEARS. BEARS!

And lastly as for my hair question...
So right now, my hair looks about like this.
Well, not really. My hair is really curly so this is after about 20 minutes of straitening. Everyday Single Day.
I don't know about you, but that is a lot more time than I want to spend on my hair every morning.
Any ideas on how to gracefully grow out hair with out looking like Napoleon Dinomite or Shari Lewis?

Hope you and an amazing day!

Go Play Outside!

 

--------------I love going on walks.--------------

She is doing so much better. 

We are all just taking it easy this week.

Spring Excitement + A trip to Wendys

I am really excited for Spring this year. I have started getting our garden ready and I love when all the flowers come into the shops! I am a sucker for bright colors I suppose.

After we went to the store we were feeling hungry and did not want to spend a ton and I really did not want to go to McDonalds or some place like that. Super Bowl Sunday just killed me. It was like I instantly gained weight from all the goodies, cheesey dips and snacks around me. I did not really need anymore of that crap food but we were feeling like burgers soooooo somehow we ended pulling a u-turn and eating at Wendys. 

First off, I noticed these little planter boxes by the drive thru. Pretty cool eh?

Next I was very impressed. We ordered from the value menu and my burger had everything a good burger should have. Cheese. Onion. Tomato.Lettuce. Pickles. +  no "What is this?" pieces in the meat. Awesome.

And what was even better was their fries. They actually tasted like potato! Imagine that!

So I haven't the slightest idea why Wendy's is not the leading fast food company. I left there not feeling like I need to sleep and shower or anything like that! I felt great! 5 Stars for Wendy's man! Hip Hip Hooray!
