Yay! I cut way back on my driving for the month of November. I didn’t drive eight days out of the month, and I’m hope to make it 10 for December. Let’s see how the month goes.

Who Doesn’t Love Bacon
Recently I’ve been noticing a pattern, Bacon is everywhere, and everybody loves it… Well maybe not everybody, but many people do. My kids could eat their weight in bacon for breakfast, if only Mommy would let them. Recently I had a phone conversation with a great friend all about Bacon, and how awesome it is. I even got a cool catalog in the mail that featured Bacon wallets, Bacon band-aids, and even Bacon Toothpicks and Mints. Yep, bacon is super-awesome right now.
Last night on Top Chef, even Chef Rocco DiSpirito professed his love for Bacon, during the breakfast challenge. I totally have to agree with adorable Rocco, Bacon is awesome!
So what about you… Do you have that favorite breakfast item that you just can’t resist?
Snack Day
Today Thade and I were in charge of bringing snacks for Preschool. Yesterday we were busy in the kitchen getting all of the treats ready. Thade helped out with the veggies, but I had a little problem with the mini muffins. I accidentally burned my first batch, so I ended up making regular sized muffins, and cutting them in half for the kiddos. I think the treats went over pretty well today at Preschool, even though Thade said that he didn’t like the muffins…
The Christmas Parade
Sunday night was the annual Christmas Parade downtown, and it was cold cold cold.
We found a pretty good spot though. It kept the kiddos out of the wind and out of the itty-bitty snowflakes too.
It was a balmy 34 degrees, so the kiddos huddled together under a fleece blanket, and waited patiently for the Parade to start.
There were several Christmas themed Floats, and horses pulling carriages too.
This year the parade moved along pretty quickly, everyone must have been really cold on the floats too.
After the parade we drove around town and looked at Christmas lights. Both of the boys are so excited about Christmas this year, they just can’t wait one minute longer.
This weekend there are lots of Christmas activites going on around town, and I hope to take the boys to a few of them… If the weather cooperates.
Snacks in a Hurry
I got a little Christmas Shopping done this morning while Thade was at school. When Dylan and I went to pick up Thade, I heard the teacher say that there were lots of handouts today. There were three book orders due back on Wednesday, and then I spotted the snack list for December in Thade’s backpack. I looked over it, and I’m bringing snacks for December 3rd.
What the heck am I going to bring… It has to be healthy, and it has to be what I’ve got on hand too. I picked up Carrots and Celery the last time that we went to the store, so I can make veggie sticks for the kiddos, but there needs to be something else. I think I’m going to make a batch of Oatmeal muffins, and make them mini for the kiddos. I think I’ve got an extra Apple Juice in the pantry, so I hope I’m good to go!
