Sidnee's 9th BIRTHDAY!!!!

 
 




Happy Birthday Sidnee!!!I cannot believe she turned 9 today!  Crazy how life goes by so fast.... Today her wishes were:
  • Waffles and Eggs for breakfast
  • Homemade Blueberry Muffins (for a snack)
  • Iceburg lettuce with Dorothy Lynche Dressing (Nothing else on it!)
  • Chinese food for Supper
  • Hike in the morning
  • Swim Lessons
  • Swimming after Lessons (way to cold, had to X that and go to a matinee)
  • Bake a guitar cake (we'll see...)
  • Eat Chinese in Pullman, take dad a plate of Chinese food...
  • Open presents and hang out!               
She almost has all of those things crossed off of her list.... We had a great day, we couldn't find a hike close enough to Moscow, so we ended up at the Arboretum, which is beautiful, it took us about an hour and 15 minutes to get through it, stopped and ate our blueberry muffins.  We headed home, threw on our suits and dived right into swimming lessons.  Sid and Addy had great teachers, and me and Brit were in a baby swim lesson, which was really fun!  He had a great teacher, who loves babies - it was a lot of fun.... We headed home, showered up and walked down to the Matinee, Alan hadn't seen Brave so we took him to the movie... of course we all laughed our heads off at the bear butts....  Addy can't get enough of that, she thinks it's hilarious... cute move!  Alan headed off to work, we've got to throw a cake in the oven! Brittons down for a nap, (clean up-Yikes, things have gotten a little crazy messy around here...)  Then head to pullman a little bit later.  Happy Birthday to the Birthday girl!  She is the best... We love her very much.... [One little side note, at Swimming lessons, they called the kids names out, and when they were calling the baby group out to the pool, they were naming the names, and they got to Brittons name and the swim teacher called- "Britoon?"  LOL, I haven't heard that one before... Funny, but I have to give it to him, there are lots of crazy names out there!

Chocolate Popcorn

Sid had an idea to make chocolate popcorn, it turned out really good, made a huge batch and delivered a lot of it around to neighbors.  We put it in a baggie, tied star, stripe ribbon and some red foil stars for the fourth of July.  Turned out beautifully!

RECIPE
  • 1 Stick of Butter
  • 1 Cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 Cup Karo Syrup
    • Bring ingredients to a boil, set timer and boil for 2 minutes and 30 seconds more. 
    • Remove from heat add:
  • 1 Can Sweet and Condensed milk
  • 1/4 Cup Coco Powder
    • Pour over:
  • 4 bags of popped popcorn -old maids removed.  Stir 
      • Lay popcorn out on wax paper, and some options would be to add M&M's, nuts, pretzels, and drizzle with white chocolate.  let chcolate cool.  Bag it up...
