Inspired by this recipe I made Moose Cookies today for my son's girlfriend Jessalyn who really likes moose. I think they are cute and will be making them again soon. I also like the fact that they use honey to sweeten them instead of sugar. The little ones who are old enough to eat peanut butter will love these so I am excited to share them with them on Tuesday.
Tomorrow is Family Day here which is our new holiday. I am not sure if this is a holiday in the States too but it is nice to have a long weekend in February. I actually forgot all about it until I looked at my calendar and wondered why I had no little monkeys written in then I went to the store and saw the closed for Family Day signs! So it was a nice surprise! Unfortunately Hubby has to work but I will be able to get a jump start on my spring cleaning - even though spring is still quite a way off for us.~smile~ I plan to get some really deep cleaning and organizing done especially upstairs and in the rec room downstairs since I don't get to spend enough time in these areas when the monkeys are here.
For Valentine's Day my sweet hubby took me to my favorite Mennonite farm to pick up some eggs and a 50 lb. box of potatoes. I love to go there in the winter because these sweet ladies invite you in while they get what you are looking for and it affords a glimpse into their lives that you just don't normally get since in the mild weather they sell their items from a little building out back. They have the most spotless home I have ever seen! It was so toasty in there and smelled of the wood stove. Wonderful! I would so love to learn the skills these ladies have. I also strive to have the work ethic they do. When we arrived one of the ladies was scrubbing down the walkway to the door, outside....in the cold! Like I said the entire home is just so clean.
Afterwards we went to a pretty little town that is one of my favorite places to visit and shopped a bit. The drive there is just so beautiful and I had a wonderful time.
When we got back home my hubby made his special burgers for me - seriously the best burgers I have ever had! He offered to take me out for dinner but I asked if he would make me these instead and he said he would - so yummy!
All in all it was a perfect day with my sweetheart. ~smile~
Well I had best get a move on here and get things tidied up then I can curl up with my family and just relax this evening!
Happy Sunday!
Blessings,
Liisa
