Turkey Pop Treats

You've had Rice Krispies. There's probably no one in this country that hasn't. Homemade or store bought, you've pulled those ooey gooey treats apart to see the marshmallow strings, and popped a piece in your mouth for that oddly satisfying gooey crunch. Am I right?

Not only are they so yummy, but they are extremely versatile. Add food coloring, chocolate, candies, make them in different shapes, etc. And no baking required. Just melt some butter and marshmallows. Anyone can make them.

So here we are at another holiday with another Rice Krispie Treat that looks so cute (gotta love fat turkeys) and so good. (Chocolate. 'Nuff said.)

So here they are, straight from the official Rice Krispie website, 
Turkey Pop Treats.

 Like cake pops, but much easier. Maybe not as cute, but still tasty.

What treats do you make for the kids (or "young" adults) for Thanksgiving?

Tonight I'm Grateful For...

My husband. I've been avoiding my e-mail all day. We sent a letter to a person that has been rude and pushy and bad words lately. The letter wasn't rude. Not really. We just let him know why we haven't been meeting his "demands" and... Just, argh. I've been waiting for the backlash.

But tonight, I asked my husband to check my e-mail for me. He already had.

I asked him to delete any e-mails from said person. He already had.

And he replied back, reaffirming everything that had been said.

Now, I'm always grateful for him. You guys have no idea how much he does, how much he puts up with.

But tonight, even 1300 miles away, he still takes care of me.
Thank ya, babe.

Today I'm Grateful For...

My sense of humor. But not just being able to laugh, but the things that make me laugh.

My sense of humor covers the entire spectrum.

There's the smart sense of humor:
I'm not smart enough to actually do the equation, but holy nut. He. Is. Awesome.

The slightly morbid sense of humor:

I'm liking the swamp idea.

The sarcastic quip:

And each time, with a different weapon.

The corny-guy humor:
 



The cruel:
For me it would be more like $100, but still...


The naughty:
It took my husband a second to understand it, but we both got a good laugh. And something else...




The good:
If we ever have twins, I'm so doing this.



The bad:
You know, he may not be book smart, but he's a genius.



And the ugly:
Okay, I don't think this is ugly. Or funny. I think it's the most awesome pumpkin I've ever seen in my life. But some people find it funny.


I always knew I'd marry a guy that could make me laugh. It bugs me when I'm mad at him and he makes me laugh, but the rest of our lives, it's a good thing. 


What is your sense of humor like?

Today I'm Grateful for...

Awesome and/or funny commercials.

In this case, both.
Yes, I like video games.
HALO is my favorite.
(Um, HALO 4 anyone?)

But I hate commercials.
This one, however, I love.
Thank you CoD.
I appreciate it.

Bucket List

A Fall bucket list, that is. This one is very cute and has plenty of things to do. I am loving it. Katie, over at Loves of Life create this little cutie. We've done a couple of things already, but there's plenty more.


This one shows up with a water mark, but the printable version doesn't. She's very nice that way. It prints out as an 8x10. Hers is framed and looks so lovely.

Do you plan on doing any of these?
