Favorite kid quote:

(A conversation I heard from the bathtub one evening):

Tessa: “Hey Alexa, play Christmas music.”

Grace: “Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way”

Tessa: “Hey Alexa, stop the music. Now play a crazy song.”

Grace: “bada boooda beedda booo…”

Tessa: “Hey Alexa, stop the music.”

Favorite clothing item:

If you happen to have a small statured boy who prefers comfy athletic pants over jeans, these are great. Many brands have odd sizing- and are either too short, wayyyyyyyy too long, or fall off his waist. These are a great price, and fit Max perfectly.

Favorite food:

This chocolate chip cookie lasagna is one of the easiest desserts ever to feed a crowd. And everyone always loves it.

Ingredients: roll of refrigerated cookie dough/8 oz cream cheese, softened/ 12 oz cool whip/ 3.4 oz instant chocolate pudding/ 3.4 oz instant vanilla pudding/ 1 c powdered sugar/ 3 c milk

Directions: Heat oven to 350. Press cookie dough into bottom of ungreased 9×13 pan. Bake for about 14 minutes, until edges turn brown. Allow to cool completely. Beat cream cheese until smooth. Mix in powdered sugar and then stir in 1 cup of cool whip. Spread onto cooled cookie layer. Beat pudding into milk until thick. Spread onto cream cheese layer. Place in refrigerator for approx. 3 hours until set, and top with remaining cool whip. Sprinkle with chocolate chips or chocolate curls if you’re feeling extra.

Favorite verse:

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Matthew 6:33

Favorite moment:

The kids had their last Wednesday off this week- they start going to school 5 days a week beginning on Monday. Honestly, I loved the Wednesdays off and I’m sad to see them go. We decided to do something fun for the last Wednesday off, and headed to a trampoline park. We were the first and only ones there, we used plenty of sanitizer, and we just had the best time.
