• I stayed in bed a little later than I wanted to this morning, but when I did get up, I started in the kitchen. Pretty much I really stayed in the kitchen for the rest of the day.
•  I made our second favorite cinnamon rolls this morning. They are the same ones that I have made before. They are difficult to make because after the dough rises all night, you then have to add in baking soda, salt, and baking powder. It says that you can use your stand mixer-but when your stand mixer is 25 years old-you don't take any chances. You just knead it in by hand-and it was a bit difficult to do. The cinnamon rolls were still very good though.
• Next I made brownies for Keaton's dessert for her Super Bowl party today. I had to eventually wake her up to come and decorate her brownies and turn them into footballs. Meanwhile, I started to make ooey gooey but didn't have enough eggs to double the recipe so I had to wait on Robby to arrive back home from the store.
• Campbell came down and started to work on her dessert for tomorrow night-chocolate dipped pretzels. She also wanted spicy cheese its, so I made those too for one of the boys to take. However, the boys are now going to a different party, so I'm not exactly sure who will take those cheese its...does that mean we have to make something else? Surely not.
• Soon it was time for me to take Keaton and Whitman to their Super Bowl party. I think that they both had a good time. Whitman told me all about it on the drive home, and he was so hot and sweaty from all of the games that they played.
• I didn't pick Keaton up from the Super Bowl party because I just left her at church. I also dropped Campbell off as well because they were working keeping kids there tonight. It is always strange to me that people trust my babies to keep babies.
• There was more work in the kitchen when I came home-Robby made rice krispy treats, and I prepped some things for tomorrow. We still have a little bit more to do tonight to get ready for lunch, but now the Hogs are on and pizza is for supper.
