Last night we all pitched in and made the yummy, super-delicious, rice crispy treat Valentines. I've never made them before but I knew it was easy. I added some red dye and colored them pink! Very cute! Ryan and the kids measured out the marshmellows and cereal while I melted the butter and added in the ingredients. I made two batches and thought I'd have to make at least one more in order to have enough for both Mae's and Caleb's classes. I needed a total of 34 treats. I was amazed that two batches was more than enough. We even had scraps leftover to munch on. I only have one thing to say about yummy, super-delicious, rice crispy treats......mmmmm, so very, very tasty.
Must. Have. More. More. More. More!!!
Ok, I bought way too much stuff to make the treats. I bought like 5 bags of mini marshmellows and 6 boxes of Rice Crispys. The cereal is easy to deal with. Eat it for breakfast. No problem. The problem is having 3 bags of mini marshmellows leftover. We can only drink so much hot chocolate. I know, those things are loaded with preservatives and all kinds of junk, so they could last a very long time in the factory-sealed bag. But let's be honest....that's not gonna happen! So I did the only thing that makes sense. I made more treats!
Must. Have. More.
So, now I have another batch of treats on the counter. Here's another problem. I have more treats on my counter! I just looked over at them. They're still there, beckoning for me to get up, and eat them! Oh man. This is terrible. Good thing I went to the gym today. *wink wink*
Caleb had his Valentine celebration in his class today (he only goes to school on Tuesdays and Thursdays). When he got home we went through his bag of Valentines and candy and I discovered that I am the coolest mom! Yep. That's me, cool mom! Most of the other kids in the class just gave out the cheapy store bought cards and there was one or two kids that had a sucker attached (and one cute pencil), but come on, how totally cool is the pink heart-shaped rice crispy treat (and little plastic dinosaur)?! Yeah, that's right. I'm 'The cool mom'! I'm stoked!
I wonder if my coolness will carry over to Mae's class tomorrow?

Hey don't bash those "cheapy" store bought cards. My kids are just lucky I have the werewithall to know it is Valentine's Day tomarrow, and go to Target and buy those ugly cheesey cards and have them done and in backpack for their party. Sigh . . . there is always next year to be "cool".
Miss you!
You are totally the cool mom! How cute! I pity you for having the job of eating those yummy treats. Wait, no I don't. Enjoy!
Sorry! I don't intend to make other moms out there feel bad for buying the 'cheapy' v-day cards. I will sooo slack in other areas another time, that's a given. I'm just celebrating my moment in glory here!
LOL.....your a crack up. Sounds like you guys had a yummy time making those. Mmmm......now I want some!!!
I'm so glad you're the cool mom. You needed that this week. Way to make an extra effort for your kids, 'cause of course now they're the cool kids by default. ;)
Yes you are cool! We decided to do Wendy's idea from familyfun.com. Good thing because this procrasting mom waited until February 13th to go to the store for Valentines Day and there were no Valentines to be found anywhere. Ahhhhh, good thing we had already planned on soemthing else.
I could take some of those treats off your hands if you like. ;)
Of course you're the cool Mom...why do you think we all hang out here so much? =P
Ah, I'm feelin' the love, and it's not even v-day yet. Thanks guys! I love you too! :) xoxoxXOxxo
mmmmm. leftover rice crispy treats. You are such a fun mom! I made rice crispy treats yesterday, too. I cut them into heart shapes and bagged them up for today's lunches. Then we ate up all the odd pieces for snack. Yum! Happy Valentine's Day!
I'm leavng another comment because I just added a profile photo, and I want to see if it shows up. I still think you're the cool mom!
