IT'S TAX DAY!

Everyone else dreads this day every year except people in my profession, who breathe a heavy sigh of relief. Let the summer begin.

What to Make

I was feeling my sweet-tooth recently so I decided to dig into my recipe book written by my good friends Ben & Jerry. My little princess requested banana and my mini-prince requested "choca chippppp" so I compromised and made a batch with BOTH. It turned out so yummy that it didn't last long. We were eating it soft-serve style out of the machine before it was even done being churned.

All you need for the base is 2 eggs, 2 cups cream, a cup of milk & 3/4 cup sugar. Wisk the eggs until light & fluffy then add the sugar slowly, add the cream and milk then freeze in your ice cream maker according to the instructions. While you're watching it churn, mash 2 bananas with 2 Tbsp of lemon juice. When the base is almost done (a couple minutes left), add the bananas and a couple handfulls of chocolate chips. If any of it lasts long enough to get to the freezer then freeze it until firm and enjoy. I suggest smashing some graham crackers into small bowls and freezing it into those, but that's just me...

Lovin' the sun

We love the fact that where we live there is either snow or sun and not much else. Right now, it's mostly sun so last week we went to the park for a picnic for lunch just so we could enjoy the beautiful day. There's not much that makes a meal better than eating it on a blanket on the grass with your family.

Happy Easter Daddy

We got to do our first at home Easter egg hunt this morning. The weather was perfect. The kids didn't fight. Each one found lots of eggs and it all went great. There was only one thing missing that would have made it perfect....

Family Easter

Yesterday we went down to Desert Hot Springs to visit Great-Grandma & Great-Grandpa for Easter. We were also joined by Nana, Grandpa, an aunt, uncle & cousin too. The one thing missing was Daddy, who is having fun at the Masters this year. It was a beautiful (albeit windy) day and we got to have a fun egg hunt outside among all the other fun and visiting. The kids had such a good time that they slept in until 7:30 this morning, which, for them, is over an hour longer than normal - so Happy Easter Mommy, huh?!
