A day in my life...

Right now we are watching Monsters Inc for the umteenth time today...

just another day in my life...

Jenner is doing okay with the potty training...

she's a little scared of the toilet and it's grossness but seems to be catching on...

Addy is sick...

she was so sick that we ended up in the ER on Wed night...

when one of my babes is having trouble breathing I can't function properly...

I freak out...

I can't just wait it out for more than 5 seconds...

my heart is breaking into a million pieces...

and the only thing I know how to do is to go for help...

so to the ER we went...

croup and double ear infections with possible pneumonia were the words spoken...

home by 3:00 am with a very tired babe and one worn out momma...

just a day in my life...

here are some pics of my beautiful babes...

Jenner watching Monsters Inc and Addy with a faucet for a nose...

cute little bugglebums...

Zebra Popcorn...

My friend brought me over some of that yummy Zebra Popcorn that Sam's club carries every once in a while and we were hooked...

it's ridiculously expensive though and justifying it's superb yumminess for a dent in my wallet doesn't go over very well for me...

so I decided to make my own...

and  my friend told me that Studio 5 did a segment on it so I googled it and found a recipe...

and then I changed it a little bit...

cuz it's my thing to always change recipes...

So here goes!

Zebra Popcorn (Caramel corn with Dark and White Chocolate drizzles)

12 cups popped popcorn (2 1/2 bags of the microwave stuff)

1/2 cup butter

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup Karo syrup

2 tsp. vanilla

1/2 tsp. baking soda

6-8 ounces dark chocolate

6-8 ounces white chocolate

Method:  

Preheat oven to 250 degrees.  Spray 2 cookies sheets with pam and set aside.

Melt butter in microwave safe bowl for 1 minute.  Add brown sugar and karo and mix.  Microwave in 1 minute intervals until boiling, stirring frequently.  Without stirring, continue to cook for 3 minutes.  Stir in vanilla and baking soda.  Pour over popped corn and mix well to thoroughly coat the popcorn with caramel.  Spread out on the cookie sheets.  Bake both pans for 7 minutes, stir and rotate pans.  Repeat.  Cool in pans.  Melt the chocolate separately and drizzle over cooled popcorn.  When cooled break into pieces and enjoy!

I used those melting candy chips that you can buy at wal-mart in the party section where the wedding cake baking stuff is...and I just used regular chocolate because they didn't have dark.  It still taste really good.  Also, after the chocolate has melted I put it in a ziplock bag to make the drizzling easier.  I don't even want to know how many calories are in this...it is sooooo good!

PottyTalk...

We are having issues at our house...

I have never trained a kid to go potty...

they each literally woke one morning and wanted to wear underwears and then we were done...

remarkable...

granted they were older...

but I don't care...

I hate pee pee all over the place...

let them be older...

but not Jenner...

she insists on giving my all sorts of grief...

Ashley gave us this potty seat for incentive...

and it worked for about 3 seconds...

seriously...

and we even got her some cute little panties...

but she's not even close...

she thinks she's potty trained...

but last time I checked...

you actually have to go potty in the toilet to claim that title...

Ugh...

she thinks she can wear panties and pee in them all day long...

It Drives Me Insane!

Or...

she'll wear panties for awhile and then ask for a diaper on so she can pee in the diaper...

cuz that's easier or something...

Ugh...

I don't have much patience and this has taken me to the brink of crazytown...

Ugh...

Good thing she's cute!

Happy Love Day!
