Such a relaxing day

After yesterday's cooking adventure (30 hot pockets and 15 pop-tarts) and staying up WAY too late ... today was deemed "be lazy" day. This worked until 5pm when on my mom's board on FB got to talking about food. Then, my tummy led the way back into the kitchen ...

Bullfrog & Peanut spent 30 minutes cleaning the living room and kitchen and left me with a spotless stove and clean counters. My sink was left with 2 dishes after they did the dishes. Even better, they kept asking what else they could do so my kitchen floor is swept & mopped! Sweet!

So, to reward them ... AND to satisfy my strong pregnancy cravings for brownies a la mode (thanks prego board!) ... I made homemade tacos for dinner and then for dessert I made Grandma's Brownsies with added peanut butter. Then made homemade vanilla ice cream in my ice cream maker using some of the WONDERFUL gift my sister sent me ... Pure Vanilla Bean Paste. It is AMAZING the difference between ice cream made with the paste and ice cream made with the extract! I can not even say how wonderful hot brownies covered in fresh homemade ice cream is! Best stuff on Earth!

The rest of the evening was spent playing. Bullfrog played with legos, while Peanut did her homework. Then they had friends come over to blow an hour or two! Now if my killer headache will go away, life would just be PERFECT!
