Sienna: Does that mean I'm going to look exactly like you, Mom, when I grow up?
Cara: That's not a BAD thing, Sienna!
Bah dum duh.
So. Apparently I'm pretty enough, I just dress like a moron. Nice.
In related (uh, not really?) news - I potty trained my 4th child this week (That would be Brennan for those of you that lost count.) I *am* the pee pee whisperer. Dudes...he even POOPED on the potty 3 times. Holy HANNAH! I'm scared of how easy it was. Don't tell.
That little update has nothing to do with anything on my blog, but I really would like some pats on the back - soooooo...pat me, already.
And now, I will talk about toilet habits and food in the same post. Proving I have no boundaries.
Bringing Snack Back:
One day we had Oranges & Nilla Wafers. Another day we had Goldfish crackers and fruit snacks (leftover from Sienna's bday party). One day I made Peanut Buddy bars - and those got inhaled. Chips and Salsa or Cream Cheese Salsa Dip, another day. Then on the Bake Sale Baking day the kids had all the cookie rejects to pick from - Ginger cookies, Snickerdoodles and Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip cookies.
Here's your recipe for the week:
Picture shamelessly stolen from here.
Chocolate Peanut Buddy Bars
1 cup creamy or chunky peanut butter
6 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 (12 ounce package) milk chocolate chips, divided use
Preheat oven to 350ºF (175ºC).
Beat peanut butter and butter in large mixer bowl until smooth.
Beat in sugar, eggs and vanilla extract.
Beat in flour and salt.
Stir in 1 cup morsels.
Spread into un-greased 13 x 9-inch baking pan.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
Sprinkle with remaining morsels. Let stand for 5 minutes or until morsels are shiny; spread evenly.
Cool completely in pan on wire rack.
Cut into bars.
Next Friday is my birthday so I think I'll make a Vegan Lemon Cake with Blueberries. Um, yum? Yeah. Yum.

Yum.
It's a good thing you are pretty enough. You can always change your clothes, but you are stuck with your face. ;p
Those peanut butter bars look to die for! But I sadly, my lack of self control prevents me from making goodies like that. *sniff*
Okay, you SO rock. I need some potty whispering over here. My son is going through the 'I know I'm stinky, so I'm going to take my pullup off myself because the look on my mom's face when I run through the house with poop stuck to my butt is HILARIOUS' phase. Um, yeah. It's gross.
You crack me up! LOL I love your posts - even if you have no boundaries! ;-)
For you: Pat, pat, pat.
Can you come potty train my youngest? She's ready, but I could really use a pee whisperer ...
And switching gears, I'm making those bars! YUM!
You rock Pee Pee Whisperer!! Way to go you and B!!
I've got everything to make those bars except the chocolate chips...I'm getting them tonight ;)
My daughters feel the same way about me.
I think I love Brennen!
The pee pee whisperer needs to come to my house! I am so impressed that you already got him to poop! Eli is still not even sure about sitting there long enough to pee!
This proves that you're a potty trainer with good looks. Super!
Happy early birthday...just in case I forget.
Yay for potty trained kids! Yay for pretty faces.
My kids sometimes look at my clothes and say..."Mom, you need to be on What Not To Wear." Thanks kids.
I think after 4 you officially get your PHd in potty training!
Hugs & love,
Mimi
Man...and I thought I was accomplished after training 2!! Now to make my shopping list so I can blow my diet by eating those peanut buddies!!
