This birdie is getting bigger by the minute.

Disclaimer: Do not make these. Let me repeat. DO NOT make these.
G received a fairy cookbook for Christmas, and we just got around to making a recipe out of it (thank you, cloudy summer day). I think there are maybe 5 ingredients in this recipe, so I figured it was do-able with six kids (we had friends over for lunch).

Mixed it up. Put it in the freezer to set the candy coating that holds the lo mein noodles and corn flakes together.

And from there I gained 5 pounds. At least. I don't even know how, but I cannot stay away. Addiction. Our recipe book called them birds nest (and looked more like birds nests, versus messy pink trash piles), however, I think they are also known as haystacks? Which means these babies have been around for awhile if they are known by many different monikers...and so it's possible I am just catching on, in which case, I will tell you to look back at my blog. I'm a little slow.

In many areas.

Other projects today: creating a small gift for G's swimming coaches, who have personally taught this girl to tap her inner fish. Make-up bags embroidered with their first initials, plus a little personalized thank you from G herself. A round of applause, definitely, for these gals who wrangle a group of six-year-olds (some younger) in a pool and actually teach them a life long skill. I mostly survive at the pool and pray for no drownings.


That's all I got! Thank goodness it's the weekend...lots to do and play with and create!

No No!!! I did not make those bags...you can count on Target to have all things cute these days!!! I did put the initial on it, but really I can't even take credit, because the machine is pretty much a computer with a brain that does it all for you!
