Semi-Sweet vs. Almond Bark.

So, I attempted on making caramel & chocolate covered pretzels this year to deliver to some family and friends. Note-to-self: Semi-Sweet Chocolate doesn't set up hard:) After dunking a few of them I just knew that they weren't turning out to be the way I thought they should....so I did some googling (good thing for the internet) and came to the conclusion that I should have used either paraffin wax w/melted chocolate or almond bark. My husband, being the sweety that he is, ended up going to the store for me. He came back with the almond bark. And everything came to a happy ending...they turned out just perfect! I succeeded!! They taste pretty dang good too, if I may say so myself:)

Obviously, I'm an amateur when it comes to baking. But, you can only learn from your mistakes, right!

Shots¿?

I had picked Noah up from school and we where headed to the doctor. Noah needed to get 2 shots. He is always really good when it comes to shots and I never have to worry that he is going to flip out on me while at the doctors office. I guess that comes from going to the doctors all the time, at such a young age. While I was driving, Noah and I where talking about how he needed shots and how he wasn't scared. He mentioned how most of his friends hated getting shots and how he was so brave. Anyways, I will get to the point....

Noah asks "Mom, Promise you won't tell anyone?"
I responded with a quick, "yeah."
Noah responds, "Um...Shots really do hurt." He pauses, "I just hold my breath, until the nurse is done."
I smiled and said, "oh really, so your not scared..."
Noah with a smile on his face, "Yep, but you promised you wouldn't tell anyone, not even my friends at school."
I started laughing at that point. "Haha, I promise!"

Noah did great, with the shots, that is:) He is still a pain in the butt!! I s there any way to fix that ¿?

Kyra has figured out where her nose is at and everyone else's...So fun! She just about smashes your nose into your face and it sometimes hurts, but it is still so fun!!

She loves to put the phone up to her ear and pretend that someone is there...hehe:)
