I'm not smart enough to link a you tube and a picture

I wanted this picture to go together with the video below, but well...let's just be glad I remembered the simple things like my phone number today, okay?? I'm getting ready for Spring Break and have a little pre-trip anxiety as we are about to haul our kids to Crested Butte...including sweet, wild and crazy Biggie B...where we are meeting 3 other families...with 4 more kids...that's 6 kids...in one house...yeah. Yee Haw

Anyway, this picture is from Bergen's first playdate with his little girlfriend Eva. Eva's momma is my lifesaver, my sounding board, my gym buddy, my drinkin' buddy...the best friend a girl could ever want. She offered to take Bergen so I could take a conference call and not worry about him screaming in the background. They were thanking God for Chick fil A...which we really should do everyday, dontcha think? The world could be going to you know what in a hand basket, but we still have the happiness of the Chicken Mini and the beautiful taste balance of the fried chicken breast and pickles!! Wash it all down with the lemonade.

They also ran to the grocery store, where they were bribed with suckers and got to ride in the car. Are these two the most adorable children in the world??? Eva looks like she's got Bergen's number. Hilarious!!

This about sums up our love for the combo #1

Ridiculously Good Treats

So I have lots of blogs that I read every morning. Some people I know quite well, some that I've met a few times, and some that I've never met, but found here in cyberspace.

The Cruson Crew is a blog by a friend of a friend. We've met several times, she's sweet as the candy I'm about to tell you about. I read her blog because she's really, really funny and most days I need good laugh.

A few days ago, she posted the following recipe. It sounded so good...so good that I had to try it. Before we get started, let me just add that she puts a little pecan on top, but Biggie B is allergic to nuts and Preston would rather go hungry than eat a nut, so we don't put them in anything.

Rolo-Marshmallow-Pretzel Bites (I made up this name...I'm sure it's actually called something much more cleaver)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees

Gather the following:

Rolos

Butter Snap Pretzels

Marshmallows

Line up the pretzels on a baking sheet.

Put a Rolo on top of each pretzel. Put a marshmallow on top of each Rolo.

Place in the oven for about 3 minutes.

Once you pull them out, you can take a pecan and smush them down, or if you are not using nuts, take a knife lightly sprayed with Pam and smush them down a bit.

If you can wait until they cool down, you are a stronger woman than me. These little jewels are the perfect mix of salty/sweet/chewy.

Try not to eat them all at once. Yeah, good luck.

Happy Thursday!

Elmo's Tree-Hugging Liberal Propaganda

One of the perks of being married to a bigtime TV executive is free tickets to shows that no one else wants. Last night we took both kids to see Elmo live at Nokia Theater. It was a nice little story about finding a place to plant a flower and how we should love our earth. I am joking about the "tree hugging liberal propaganda". It wasn't bad...that's just my attempt at being funny.

TV Joe scored us the suite at Nokia, stocked with a 6-pack of Dr. Pepper, a 6-pack of beer and 2 bags of popcorn. We met some of his clients who we just so happen to really like and took in the Elmo show.

Preston is 7 and is WAY too cool to see Elmo. He was really embarrassed to go, so I told him to take his DS and play games in the suite if he got too "bored". He forgets he was a huge Elmo fan back in the day. He even had an Elmo hat that we scored at his first Elmo concert.

Halfway through the first act, he was talking to TV Joe and our client and said,

"I don't really like Elmo, I'm just here to see if it has changed any since 2002".

So funny.
