i had the rare opportunity to have talby to myself.
i don't even remember where the other kids were?
but it was just the two of us.
we went to the grocery store and got the ingredients for OREO pops.
(and an entire cart full of groceries too)
pretty simple really.
lollipop sticks in oreos....dipped in almond bark...dipped in sprinkles.
we let them harden on waxed paper.
we had a system going of me dipping them in the almond bark and she did the sprinkles.
YUM.
they didn't last long.
not even an evening.....everyone loved them.
loving treat tuesdays.
we also made Pizza pretzels last week.
the boys liked these more than the girls.
and we made Dana's pumpkin chocolate chip cookies too.
but no pictures.
because they were gone so fast....a double batch!
...............................................
there is a BIG fundraiser on amy's blog to help bring davis home.
i am so excited for her family!!!
there are BIG prizes.
maybe THIS is the one where I will win the iPad?!!??
:)
we all know that it's not about the prizes.
being generous is FUN.
it bring YOU joy.
it is a blessing for everyone involved.
the Lord loves a cheerful giver!
you can't NOT be happy when you GIVE....it's the best feeling!
the prizes are just the icing.
GO DONATE AND HELP BRING DAVIS HOME.
he has a mama and a daddy who wants him in her arms NOW.
and sisters and brothers who want to love on him.
Treat Tuesdays.. How fun! Wish you had a picture of the pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, though. Actually, nevermind.. I might drool all over the keyboard, ha!

I'd like the pretzels better & my son would like the oreos. Seems to be an oreo themed summer...my friend made oreos wrapped in chocolate chip cookie dough...have you heard of those yet?

I am SO making those oreo pops. My kids would flip out over them!
Posted by: Marie | July 08, 2011 at 12:00 AM
those would be dangerous in my house...they'd all eat one and leave me in the kitchen with them. Alone. i'd eat 'em all. :)

Oreo pops. I wish I had one now. T

It's not too early is it?
I didn't think so.

Thanks for the awesome ideas. I have Treat Tuesdays with my kids too, and these will be great for them to make with me. The oreo pops would be great for my daughters birthday party too!
You sort of had a picture of the pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. It was on your video, with the Daddy Said song. I remember cause my daughter wanted to watch the video a zillion times, and because they looked yummy so I tried to find the recipe website showing on your laptop.

Yumm-o! Must make those oreo pops TODAY!! =)
Posted by: Bethany 3SonsPlus1...&... | July 08, 2011 at 08:30 AM
OK, these look too good.......dangerously good, in fact. I have a question for you totally off the Oreo subject...I would have emailed but my computer is being a bit...well...difficult this morning. We are looking to get a puppy and have been considering a labradoodle or goldendoodle...isn't Waffle a goldendoodle? If so, I was wondering about shedding? Does he shed crazy, mild or what? Thanks!!!! and now I am off to the store to buy Oreo's and sprinkles.......my kids thank you!!!!

"Being generous is fun"... Maybe that's why your name showed up as a contributor in our Batten Disease newsletter. Big thanks!
We made pizza muffins recently, that sound similar to the pretzels and were a big hit with the two year old. I really, really wish we had some Oreo pops RIGHT.now!
Posted by: jenni | July 08, 2011 at 09:02 AM
yum! I love having one on one time with each child!
Posted by: Holly | July 08, 2011 at 09:22 AM
