A Mommy Day

Thursday (August 28th) we had a mommy and Andrew day. We made Muddy Buddies in the morning and he loved helping. I was inspired to make this the last couple of times by my friend Kelley. I've had them before, they are so yummy. You can get the recipe from the Chex website.


He's standing on his chair watching mommy stir the chocolate and peanut butter together. Yum!


What a cute little boy! :)


Andrew is testing out the chocolate chips to make sure they're okay for everybody to eat before we put them in our treats. What a sacrifice. :)


It's really easy, first you melt together chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter, and then add vanilla. You can also do that in the microwave. Then you pour the mixture over the Chex cereal and stir until well coated. Then you put it in a ziploc bag with powdered sugar and shake it.

Stir, stir, stir


Andrew got to shake the bag of powdered sugar.


Here he's two-fisting it after the treats were done. (Ignore daddy's half-closed eyes, the picture of Andrew was cute)



For the rest of our mommy and Andrew day we drove up to Owen's Beach at Point Defiance Park. He played in the sand and threw rocks in the water. We also walked along the water.
