Butterscotch Magic shell

-

 Sometimes when I am overwhelmed with all there is to do in a day (yesterday) I find relief from stress by making something. It can be cooking or sewing or crocheting, anything creative. This time it was Butterscotch magic shell ice cream topping! This was so simple and very tasty! 

I just melted a bag of butterscotch morsels and 5 T of refined coconut oil in a double boiler until melted, stirred real well and poured that stuff into a jar! It is yummy! I of course had to taste test it.

Now I have to make the chocolate shell

This should keep about a month in the cupboard... if it lasts that long!

This game has been enjoyed especially waiting to leave for the field trip!

The trip to the museum was fun but time constraints did not allow us to see it all. The girls enjoy the "Health" area and proudly showed off their cards as we moved on to the dinosauers.
Having to wear masks throughout the adventure was not as painful as I thought it might be. But since we only stayed about 2 hours it would be hard to say what the whole museum would be like in a mask. The dinosauers were fun for the girls although it was hard for them to comprehend which bones were real and which were models.
The real fun came trying to explain why scientists think evolution is how it all began! Somehow the 10 year-old wasn't buying the evolution theory.  Next up was explaining what a theory was.

The eight year-old decided that in the evolution section she would recite what they learned in Sunday School this week. Be. Make. Send. It was kind of neat to watch her explain this to total strangers... another non-evolution kiddo! YAY! I am surprised they didn't blurting out scriptures... maybe next time.

Moving on to the Egyptian area, the mummies had all three girls intrigued. Again, Sunday School information was shared and in disbelief the girls remarked about how silly the egyptians were to think that they needed to "pack" for the next life.
Well that about concludes the field trip yesterday... except for my favorite exhibit!
They really did have plenty of these and you didn't have to run around to another floor or wait in line!

The contents of this post are from early February. I was going to delete but thought more about it and decided to share. Sorry the pic's are sideways. As I sit at the table and look across to the counter in the middle of the room some call an Island, i bask in the silence that is now. Soon the island will be cluttered with items needed to make lunches and chaos will fill the silence as the house gets moving and kids get ready for school. There's only a few minutes until everyone else starts getting up. Today is hippotherapy for the youngest. The wind is howling right now so they may cancel it if it's too cold for the old horses they don't go out. It's too cold for this old horse! For 3 days we've been able to go outside without coats or sweaters or jackets. Yesterday the storm clouds brewed like they were going to dump an ocean in the yard I ran outside and grabbed seven batts of insulation and took them to the basement to save them from the rain. By

To be or not to be... that is NOT the question!

 It is the day before Thanksgiving and our plans have drastically changed. We will not be going to my daughter's home, and we will not be having turkey with her. I did manage to find a turkey and it looked smallish to me. Turns out it was only a pound smaller than the smallest one at the commissary. We will go for the bone density test this morning, and I will drop the dog off for groomer at my daughter's this morning on the way to the density test.  It might be a ham thanksgiving this year if anything at all. I am not complaining. I don't want to clean or cook as no one in this house even eats all the stuff. That was all yesterday and like everything in my life it changes hourly. We made it to all of our appointments and with the kids in tow! We did not get to any stores, because I do not do stores with kids if I do not have to. The dog got dropped off, the bone density test was done, the equipment for the sleep study got picked up, and 5 D tanks of oxygen. We even managed

Black Friday... White Snow

 It is the day after Thanksgiving and the ground is covered. Black Friday shopping is not something I normally do, so this is not an inconvenience for me. We went to my daughter's home for Thanksgiving and a much smaller group of friends and family were there. My son was not feeling well so we took him some leftovers on our way home. Because the meal was not here, I do not have to deal with the leftovers or the post meal drama of what to do with all the leftover food. But that means no snacking foods either... it is a no-win situation. I get to make fresh food though and that is a good thing. I just tried to go out and return a medical device and the roads were very icy. I decided it was unlike Dunkin' Donuts, not worth the trip. Not to waste getting as far as the General Store I did buy the kids some soda for movie night tonight. We already have lots of popcorn and still some candy available. Now to find a good movie. the dog is being lazy Instead of a good movie we found that
