Where have I been?!

It feels like I havent just sat down in such a long time! Its like we were running around all week for some reason! I actually think that we did something every day of the week! Its really weird cause Allie and Savannah didnt work since Wednesday, and it feels so weird. Mine and Stephs systems are so messed up! haha  with like cleaning up and doing our homework. Just wanted to let you all know I'm still alive and busier then ever...

 

weekend

On Friday I babysat again cause Cate and Marie's mom is really busy with work, so I had her drop off the kids at our house:) Man haha at first I think they were a little overwhelmed and unsure what to think and do! So they huddled around me for a little bit and then after a while I think they realized that our kids don't bite too hard;) jk  And then on Saturday we did a lot of cleaning because the week before I worked and didn't have a chance to clean anything and cause we were having our aunt and uncle over for dinner Sunday night! But on Saturday morning we went to dunkin doughnuts and marshals. and I got a latte... butter pecan latte! MAN was that thing sweet! I couldn't finish it! It made me feel soo jittery and hyper! It was the weirdest feeling coffee never did that to me before! Next time I'm defiantly asking for half the pump :)

tonight

Tonight I wanted  to make a dessert... a gluten free dessert:) Stephanie and I are going gluten free just to try it out. I did it before for like a month and it makes you feel so much better. Its hard to find recipes with stuff you have at home. Like not everyone has rice flour and almond flour in their pantry! If you do thats pretty cool. I try to eat healthy but its kinda hard when you live at home with 10 other people. I was looking at this recipe it does not call for all the special/fancy flours and stuff:) and it sounds pretty good.

Ingredients:

 6 oz. semisweet chocolate

10 eggs, seperated

7/8 cup. white sugar

2 cups. ground almonds

directions:

1. Melt chocolate in top of double boiler; set aside.
2. Beat egg yolks until thick and lemon colored. Gradually beat in sugar. Blend in chocolate and almonds.
3. Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold whites into chocolate batter. Spoon batter into an ungreased 10 inch Bundt pan.
4. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 1 hour, or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Remove from oven, invert pan, and cool about 40 minutes before removing from pan.

cousins night

We had a cousins night a few days ago. With all the cousins from my moms side of the family. It was a lot of fun just playing games and just chilling out with everyone. They made stuffed shells and this really good chicken rice with broccoli and carrots:) Oh it was so good! They made a whole bunch of desserts too:)

girls day out!

On Friday our aunt came down from Canada with her five kids for five days... So on Monday we picked up our cousin and she spent the night:) I thnk her and Stephanie were up like all night!! No joke!  So in the morning we woke up late, had breakfast, got ready to go meet up with Allie and Sav after they were done working:)  We stopped by their work and after that we did a little shopping and ran into our old neighbor we didnt see in seven years! haha Shes so cute! 

weekend

Lately my dad has been collecting all the syrup from the trees in out backyard and keeping it in jugs so he could make maple syrup! And I guess it takes like 20 jugs to make 1 jar of maple syrup, and you have to boil it for 8 hours! Cause you have to evaporate all of the water and then just the sugar is left witch is the syrup... I dont really know about it besides it taking really long:) But anyway my dad and the little kids did that outside while we cleaned up inside for guest... It was beautiful outside all weekend and I think today is supposed to be super nice too:) It makes my happy! I'm always changing the subject, dont know whats wrong with me! On Saterday for a break we went to joanns and to run some errands for my mom. so ya that was pretty much my weekend.
