Cheerios Bars

Dana over at MADE did her version of Rice Krispie treats and I was inspired to do the same! We decided to make ours less sugary and used Cheerios instead. Needless to say they were a hit!

6 cups Cheerios

8 cups mini marshmallows



1/4 cup of butter, melted

Melt the marshmallows into the butter. Fold in the Cheerios. Lay out in a greased pan to cool. Then enjoy!

My stirring helper

Ta-da! All finished and cooling off for eating time!

Campfire Cones

When we went camping I decided to bring the fixin's for Campfire Cones. Of course I found them on Pinterest and they seemed easy enough.

Here's what you need:
Waffle cones (or sugar cones)
Mini marshmallows
Small pieces of chocolate
Bananas, strawberries or any other fruit diced up
Aluminum foil

Take your cone fill it with all the goodies you want and wrap it in foil. Lay over the fire (not in direct flame or it will burn the cone, trust me on this one!) for a few minutes. Pull it out and eat like an ice cream cone.

These campfire cones got 2 big thumbs up from each kid!

I'm a slacker and a Bambi killer

I've been a major blogger slacker lately! There's been so much going on that I can hardly keep the days straight. To prove my point I rushed my DH and both kids to the other end of town last Friday so I could pick up my race packet and info before the handout time was up. I get there and walk in to find out that the race is this weekend and I'm a week early. DH was not pleased with me. My excuse for that one is that I was still all flustered from the day before when I hit a deer on my way to work. Oh and did I mention I was driving carpool that day. So not only did I strand myself from getting to work (which is 50 minutes away from my house) but I stranded 3 other people. Here's a lovely shot of my busted up car.

And yes that radiator fluid leaking all over the ground. Initial estimate is $3,300 worth of damage. Luckily I've got some killer auto insurance and I don't have to pay a penny to get it fixed! Needless to say I've heard more Bambi jokes in the past few days than I care to repeat. I'm taking the day of work tomorrow so maybe I can blog while the girls are napping. I've got a lot of catching up to do.
