1st) Brennan and Nate have made a few more friends in the neighborhood, but I hadn't really met any of them, so I told them to invite them over tonight and we'd have cookies and hot chocolate. So, all afternoon, I made a ton of sugar cookies and frosted them with homemade colored frosting. I made SEVERAL DOZEN of them and other kinds!
LOL So there were plenty to freeze, too, but they were a hit with all the kids! Brennan told me I was a 'cool' Mom, so......BONUS! LOL It was really fun to have them have their friends here and get to know them more. They all seem like great kids and were really polite, respectful, and courteous. I'm so thankful our boys have met some great neighborhood kids and I love that they all want to hang out at our house! (I'm sure the cookies and hot chocolate help! LOL) 
2nd) Then, for some unknown reason, I got an 'impulsive' idea today when I got groceries.... I decided to majorly bless my husband! So, I bought something he loves -- CHICKEN GIZZARDS!
LOL I was so excited because he loves to get these every now and then at Casey's or something, so I wanted to surprise him and make them myself, even though I think they're disgusting! Well, what I failed to do was think further ahead as to HOW I would make them! LOL Yes, that's me -- a blonde that fails to think through all the details! 
LOL So, a few friends gave me some ideas and I got a recipe and tried to fry them up -- quite the process! Voila.......fried chicken gizzards for my hubby when he got home from work! He was shocked and totally excited that I'd even attempted them and thanked me all night and couldn't believe I'd thought to try them! LOL He ate them and said they were great......they didn't look like Casey's and I'm sure they weren't quite as good, but he ate every single one of them and made me feel like I was 'Betty Crocker' or 'Rachel Ray' herself! LOL Plus, I made a new taco casserole recipe for supper............so.......whew.......lots of baking today!
Tomorrow might just be frozen pizza! LOL
