Well the Kids are Better

Thade was feeling pretty good this morning, and ready to go back to school. I had a MOPS meeting to go to this morning, and Dylan wasn’t really in the mood to go. This was probably the morning that he would have slept in, if I would have let him. I was glad that we went though, the meeting was fun, and the breakfast was tasty.

When I went to pick up Thade at school his teacher sent home the Firefighter handouts from Wednesday. There were stickers, pencils, and even a Firefighter helmet for Thade. She even sent one home for Dylan so he could play Firefighter too.

I was feeling good this morning, but this afternoon I’ve kinda bottomed out, and I’m starting to feel wonky again. I’m almost caught up on all of the dishes though, so I’m pretty happy about that. I’m trying to take it easy, but the house has gotten away from me with this cold, at least the kiddos are feeling much better.

Pudding Cups and Ice Pops

Snacks are a must have in our house, and I’m always trying to save a bit on family favorite treats. I spotted an Popsicle Mold at the store for $2.00, and I thought it would be great to make some Pudding Pops for Thade.

My Popsicle mold made 4 Pudding-pops, so I was left with a lot of leftover pudding… But none of it went to waste.

I filled my Silicone Baking Cups with the leftover pudding, and made individual pudding cups. They were just as tasty as the store bought individual cups, but we can reuse our cups, so there was no packaging waste. I stored the homemade cups in the fridge in Gladware. The kiddos loved the tasty treats too.

What homemade snacks or treats do you like to make for your family?
