kitchen gadgets makin me fat

this morning i woke up and i was so happy that i already had my skillet made and just had to warm it up!

when i re-read what i wrote last night- the part about the agility equipment & training, i mentioned a hula hoop and yard dart hoop. i just wanted to clarify: i am not training them to hula hoop and play yard darts. i just need the hoop to train them to jump through it. i think they'll enjoy training..they're smart, in fact, if they get the jumping-through-hoops thing, they'll be doing what i do at work...maybe i will be able to train them to hula hoop and play yard darts! (then in a couple of years, they'll be doing my taxes for me).

the theme today on abc family seems to be excellent nannies (first mary poppins, then nanny mcphee, followed by sound of music and topped off with titanic..i'm sure there was a nanny somewhere on the boat). speaking of nannies, i was watching victoria on animal planet again last night, and she was helping a family who had dog nanny! who in the world has dog nannies?! three kids and she still needs a dog nanny? c'mon.

this morning, i 'hid' the eggs for the boys (no nanny to help out):

told you i was going to be sneaky when i hid them!

bruno was pretty good at it-he can get his mouth around an crunch it open real quickly, so i had to help chaco out a little. they were fine until chaco wanted what bruno had and got snippy...he's started doing that lately and they get all alien on each other (you know how the aliens had the mouth with the scary teeth and then sigourney would blast them away)...

that took all of 3 minutes. then i decided it was a doughnut day, so i found a doughnut recipe and i felt like homer price... you know, the one where he made all those doughnuts...i remember it from when i was a kid, and it's fun to read it to our kids at school again!

homer price!

with a little chocolate glaze...

...and a bit of coffee!

 i don't know how well they save, they might be rocks tomorrow, but i'm going to put them in an airtight bag and if they're any good, i might take them to school tomorrow morning. i swear, kitchen gadgets are making me fat.don't get me wrong, i love having cooking toys in the kitchen, it makes life easier, but it just makes me want to try more things and find new recipes. it's dangerous.

alright, blessings and may the power of the resurrection be real to you today!
