Let's Kick Off Spring Break!!

Today begins my kids two week spring break and personally I am excited to have a break from the morning rush out the door and homework.  Of course, I say that now but by about Monday afternoon, I am sure I will be whining about the mess Drew makes everywhere and how they fight and how much they talk constantly.  But for now, happy about it.

While I was lunging and pressing and doing rollups this morning, I was thinking about what is in store for the weekend.

Today, my parents return from Hawaii so a fresh pineapple and macadamia nuts are coming our way and their dog, who we have been dog sitting AND who peed all over my living room sofa this week, is going home. 

I started making croissants this morning and I am looking forward to having a croissant for breakfast on Sunday (they take 3 days to make).  Kevin has been requesting lemon bars for weeks now and even though I am hard pressed to make something that doesn't involve chocolate, I am going to make him some lemon lime bars from this cookbook.

If you like to bake at all, I highly recommend this cookbook.  Their recipe for brownies is absolutely the best ever and trust me, I have road tested about a gazillion, yes, that is right, a gazillion brownie recipes.  I also love their monster cookie recipe, the brewer's malt blondies, the lemon drop cake and more. 

We are planning on hitting Marco's, my favorite coal fired pizza joint this weekend and I am also looking forward to spending as much time as possible this weekend snuggled up with my husband forgetting about my peed on couch and upcoming IEP testing.
