My weekend!

On Saturday I babysat the three girls. We made rice krispie treats and cut them into shapes. I am hoping to have pictures up after this week.
Here is the recipe we used:

I have never made Rice Krispie treats before and we had lots of fun.

The 9 year old was making Amish bread and we went to get the sugar out for day 6 and they had no sugar. We went to almost all of the neighbors house that they knew, and we were able to find all but 1/4 of a cup. haha!! It would have just been easier to get in the car and go to the Grocery store. The girls wanted to ask the neighbors. I live in a community that you cannot go to the neighbors and ask for sugar. One of the neighbors went to the grocery store and bought sugar in case we needed some, but to find out we didn't.
I hope everyone had a WONDERFUL Weekend!
