The two girls who received their pillows LOVED them. I even saw one of them carry it to church with her. Only one is pictured as the other doesn't want pictures of her daughter on the Internet, so I will respect that. Even though I did get a cute picture of her with it.
Last night I made a YUMMY dinner that I found on Pinterest.
Crescent Chicken Casserole
Wow- Oh so good. You can find the recipe here.
I used Mexican shredded cheese since that is what I had on hand.
And Greg brought home a Valentine's gift for all of us last night.
Gigi's cupcakes. Don't they look divine?
Thank you Greg they are delicious!
So when everyone went to bed, I made fortune cookies. I was excited to see that the prep time was only 5 minutes and cook time was only 8-12 minutes. So I got to work around midnight. Well guess what? The cook time is for TWO at a time. Really? I started out doing that but then got lazy. I do think they would have turned out better if I would have taken the time to do them 2 at a time, but I really didn't have 96 minutes to spare.
The recipe I used I found here.
I think if I make them again I'll leave out the nutmeg. I guess I just don't like that flavor.
The hardest part for me was trying to come up with the fortunes. I did come up with some pretty funny ones. Here is my list:
Do not pick on
your brother today!
It’s the person
on your left’s lucky day!
Your Mom ate your
cupcake! (This one was followed up with a note in the cupcake box that said Made you look!)
You will get an A
on your next test if you study hard.
You will find
something you lost today once you clean your room.
You have the
prettiest, best, most loving, creative, happy, special, sweetest Mom in the
world!
Today is the day
for love! Love thy brother as thy love yourself.
You are pretty
splendid!
You need a
haircut!
Kiki ate your
real fortune. You can try to get it back but I’m afraid she’ll bite you.
Izzy hid your
fortune.
You will find
happiness in the next fortune cookie.
Here are the ones I created for myself. They make me laugh!
You will get much
needed rest when kids are out of the house!
You don’t need a
cookie to tell you, you are super!
You get the Mom
of the year award!
You
deserve a hug for making these fortune cookies.
I did make some special ones for my sweetheart, but those I'm keeping private.
Ashley was the first to open hers. She is the only one I got pictures of with one, since the boys sleep in their underwear and were not dressed when they opened their cookies. The fortunes in pink are the ones Ashley got. I do think it is funny she picked the 2 that were about being nice to your brothers.
Mason had the BEST reaction to his fortunes by far! I wish I would have filmed him. He laughed and was stunned at the audacity of some that he got! It just makes me laugh thinking about it. His fortunes are in blue. He did wonder how I knew he would pick the cupcake one, but that's when I told him to look in the box to see that it was still there.
Aussie was up last. The first cookie he opened said, You need a haircut! He rolled his eyes and didn't want to open any of the other ones. I coaxed him into it. And I laughed at every one he read out loud. His are in green.
Here is the card I created for Greg. Simple but hopefully cute.
We went to Chick Fil A tonight. Ashley wore the shirt I made her.
Happy Valentine's Day!
