What to do on a rainy day?


With all the rain we have been having what's a kid suppose to do?  We decided to do one of our favorite activities, candy making.  This time we decided to include The Diva in on it.  Eli decided it was time to make another batch of  York peppermint patties.

I remembered to get my camera after we mixed everything up.  When we turn on our mixer, Eli now reminds  me not to turn it on too high so we don't have another disaster like we did during our Christmas Cookie decorating adventure.
I know she doesn't look like it but HJ was having a good time and got really into watching everything.

While waiting for the peppermint to chill we had a yogurt break.

yogurt face!  Don't you love how lady like she sits...

E had to have banana before we started cutting the peppermint

E loves the heart shaped York patties so that's what he chose.  E is getting very good at using the cookie cutters

Time for Chocolate!

My helpers flaked out on me and had to have a play break

E finally came back to help cover the peppermint with chocolate.  The Diva decided that since she didn't get to eat any that she wasn't helping anymore.


Our finished products.  E always likes to keep some candy undipped.
