Tea Party
The tea set was by far the best white elephant gift I have every gotten! Of course it was a tough decision to make when there were things such as a snuggie and an old programming book to choose from. It was down to the last few rounds and I knew that one of Curt's co-workers wanted the set. She said that if it was Curtis who had it she would take it but she was nice and let me keep the gift. We have definitely put it to good use. We had to use all the pieces so we had water and in the sugar bowl we put powdered Gatorade to add to our drink.
Brownies
Later that day we decided to make brownies from scratch. My girls love being in the middle of everything (and having been a preschool teacher I know all the benefits of cooking with kids . . . However was this mess worth it!?!). I was on my way to add the cocoa and butter mixture to the brownies when Madison asked for a taste. I completely forgot that there was no sugar in the mixture to sweeten it. The look on her face, she thought I poisoned her and started wiping it out of her mouth. I started adding the cocoa mixture into the other ingredients when Madison said "My favorite color is brownies"
