LIFE!

So I haven't blogged in a while so I figured I would do a couple of posts today. This one is on my life for the last couple of weeks.

Alcott started something new this year- they are doing tri-mester awards instead of Principal's awards every month. Stevie got most improved on staying on task- goes to show that RITALIN helps!!!!! HE doesn't find his pencil so interesting anymore - haha! GOOD JOB Stevie- We are so proud!

We had a "pugging" at our house. what's a pugging you say? A wedding for pugs- stuffed animal pugs.... yeah I know crazy- but I did like the pugging cake I created :)

Of course I had to make some YUMMY Lemon bars with spring in the air. These are low-fat, 1- point, and very good and very easy!

Here is the recipe-

1/4 C powdered sugar

3 Tablespoons butter

1/2 C flour

3 eggs

3/4 C Sugar

2 teaspoons lemon zest

1/3 Cup lemon juice

3 Tablespoons flour

1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/8 teaspoon salt

powder sugar for top

Mix 1/4 C powder sugar and butter until creamy, add 1/2 cup flour until crumbly- press into 8 X 8 pan- bake at 350 until golden brown (10-12 minutes)

Lower temp to 325- Beat eggs, add ingredients, pour mixture over crust, bake 20-25 minutes- cool and cut into 16 squares- top with powdered sugar.

Some long time friends- starting the "BIG 40" club! Thanks Crystal for making it look so wonderful- Happy Birthday!

Pinewood Derby...... For the Boy Scouts or the MAN SCOUTS?????????? I really believe this competition is more for the dads- but everyone has fun! Stevie took 3rd- Savannah took 1st- again..... GIRLS RULE and boys......
