Chocolate is yum, yum in my tum!

I made my first ever chocolate dipped pretzels Sunday afternoon. They turned out quite yummy! Some are white with sprinkles, some are brown with sprinkles, and the others brown with white drizzled on top. They're addicting so Kurt is going to take them to work tomorrow. I can't control myself with chocolate anymore, so it's better to have a few and give the rest away then sit and literally eat an entire tin of them in one day. =) I also tried some snow covered chocolate balls - ick! I have a feeling they might get tossed - ha ha. Kurt had the ingenious idea of putting marshmallows inside them so they'd taste better, that didn't help, just made them hard and the marshmallow all leaked out. He did come up with a brilliant idea of chocolate covered rasins - yummmmm! Landen and I have them about all eatten already. He he! I'm planning on trying peanut butter cups this week - as soon as I get the ingredients. Yummy!

I finally buzzed Landen's hair. I've been cutting it for along time now, but I thought we would try something more like his dad's hair cut this time. It turned out - okay. I'm not sure how to blend the longer top hair into the buzzed bottom hair. Does anyone know how to do this? It doesn't look bad, but I need to learn how to actually do it correctly for next time. He looks different though! He needed a hair cut really bad before we did this anyway - but before it was just short all over his head.
Before and After
He's such a little trooper when he gets his hair cut. He hates the hair in his face, but for the most part he'll sit in his chair and watch a movie and be really good. Anyway, that was my other task for this weekend. I can't wait for Amelia to have longer hair so she can wear braids or pig tails. I just have to learn to do a french braid - they look cute in little girls hair. =) Mine are always really loose and look like you've slept on it for a few days without doing your hair.

You're talking about a fade..and if you figure it out you must teach me! We've been trying to figure out how to do that with Danny's hair for years...I know you use a guard in between the length of the shorter bottom hair and the longer top hair but getting it in the right place is the hard part I guess. You should put up a bit of Landen from the front so we can see how cute he looks in his new do!
Your goodies sound delicious!!!! We are getting ready to start our cookie making spree here this afternoon. =]
