HawksNest!

First thing this morning Haddie got a little kitty massage. Woosaw has sure come around now that she trusts Sakari is gone.

My brunch today...pretty good for 102 calories and 3 grams of fat for 2.

You need: 

 2 3/4 cups of quick oats 

4 banana's, mashed 

1 tsp vanilla extract 

2/3 cup chocolate chips 

1/2 cup coconut 

 Directions: 

 Oven to 350...nonstick cookie sheets ready. 

 Mix it all together, roll about 2 tablespoons worth of dough into a ball, bake for 10-12 minutes...until the bottoms start to turn golden. Enjoy!

Sunday is the big game...the kiddos helped me do a little decorating for our Super Bowl party :)

12th Man...we'll be hooting and hollering that is for sure!

We are expecting 2-3 other kids and 8-10 adults at our party. We hope to get the kids doing some crafty stuff to keep them busy, you know while the adults are stuffing their faces and yelling at the TV LOL.

They worked for a long time on their 12th man decorations.

As much as I love Peyton Manning...there is no doubt this is a
 Hawks Nest!

Nice job guys!

I can't wait to get a start on some of the food and treats tomorrow! This is my first time hosting a Super Bowl party, so I am not going too crazy LOL, but Pinterest gave us a bunch of great ideas.

We made a lightened up strawberry shortcake for dessert tonight. One of my fave desserts, I love the biscuit part the most...but then you have the strawberries, ice cream and whip cream...you just can't go wrong :) It is only 267 calories and 8 grams of fat.

We followed the directions on the Bisquick heart smart mix box...just cut the sugar and butter in half, or more. Skipped making the strawberry sugary syrup too...yuck. Also went with the slow churned ice cream. Yummy!

The kids have started paying closer attention to the commercials on TV. They ask for stuff sometimes and you never know what they will go on and on about.
What my kids have learned from tv today....
1- We need a spin mop so we don't have to use an ordinary mop anymore. Xander especially said "Mom we don't want that old ordinary mop anymore" Hehehe.
2- TruMoo is nutritious and delicious....and has less sugar than regular milk. Jason went out to buy some, and the store he was at didn't have it, so of course he bought a regular jug of chocolate milk (obviously he missed the part about TruMoo actually being better for you...thankfully we NEVER buy chocolate milk...this is probably the second time in 5 years)....good thing the kids don't pay close attention to labels, yet. LOL!
