If ever there was a treat that I underestimated it was the peanut butter ball. Seriously! In my mind this sounds super gross. Like eating a giant hunk of peanut butter. But when I saw this has mashed up rice krispies in it I was sold. I have chowed down about 8 of these today... tis the season... to gain 10 pounds. Thank goodness for breast feeding. 

I filmed a Ted Makes with this recipe. 

Ted is getting older so the dynamics of our videos are changing. I am not sure what direction they will go in. I have thought of letting Ted off the hook and making videos with Ruby. She is not thrilled with this idea. 

Last night Tyler finally opened up his Snoopy Snow Cone maker. The new improved design. Since we all know this toy was recalled a while back for its life threatening qualities. 

Tyler won this gem at the office gift exchange. Along with being an incredible upper body workout, Snoopy makes pretty decent snow cones. I can't imagine any 8-year-old being able to operate this thing. I tried grinding down the ice cubes and could barely do it. I understand why the cups that come with this toy are so small. 

We each tried one serving then Snoopy was retired. Our family can always look back on this memory... remember the time you spent like 30 minutes grinding 5 ice cubes to make a snow cone? Good times...
