WIUW: D is for Donuts + Mommy School

For the letter D, we decided to make homemade donuts. I haven't done this in ages and forgot how fun it was. Sebastian was in AWE that he could "MAKE DONUTS AT HOME!!" His excitement was beyond contagious. They tasted ridiculously yummy, so we had to go back and make more using different toppings. Now I have way too many donuts in my kitchen so something will have to be done about that.... ehehehehehe

We used a Wilton tip to cut the circles out. He liked playing with the lil dough balls, haha

Making some Glaze. He's a serious chef

Lazy and DELISH donuts. Can biscuits, pop into 35odegree oil. 2min on each side
 

end result is perfection

Getting funky now :P
chocolate glaze

Here we did some w/o poking a hole and rolled into granulated sugar. Then I tossed 4into powered sugar

Chocolate glaze w/chocolate chips



For Mommy School we have been working on the letter D
 

Can you tell he has fun in Mommy School?

WIUW C is for Carrots

This week at Mommy School was like all others thus far. We don't get to do much and what we've done has included Miss Sophie. We only got one day in, which is pretty much what it's be this whole time. He loves it and I wish I could do it more, but it is what it is, I guess.

 

Letter of the Week: C
Theme of the Week: Cut

Yes this is his FIRST time actually using scissors. I know, he's is probably the latest in the world of toddlers to try this. Mommy Fail

He LOVED it

More cutting


For WIUW we did Parmesan Crusted Baby Carrots. These turned out fabulous, I might add. Normally I'm not big on cooked carrots but even I finished my serving :P

 These were our side item and for dessert we had more letter C fun with Carrot Cake Cupcakes and cream cheese frosting!
And shocker... I forgot to take pics!

Caramel Apple Streusel

 Ok, so no idea what to call this but that works, haha...
I confess to have NEVER made a homemade pie before. No I am 30, I stay at home with 3 children and this has been way to much for my little brain. After our apple excursion, hubby said he was giving his mom a bunch of the apples (the kids picked WAY too many for us to eat up) to make a pie. This hit me weird. Why didn't he want ME to make a pie? Oh, 'cause I can't. Because I never have even attempted it. Makes sense.
This saddens me to say but my 1st ever recipe is GONE. I was scribbling it down on a scrap paper as I was adding it to the dish and Hubby tossed it! Major sad face, but here are the pics. Hopefully I will remember how much of each item I used next time I attempt this.

WIUW: B is for Banana Pudding

Letter of the Week: B
Theme of the Week: Balloons (though we didn't get to use them, sad face)

So Mommy School has been going so-so. We don't get to do it everyday like Sebastian and I would like. Hubby is always too "busy" to watch Sophie for the hour, so we've had to try to do it with her. She doesn't like it much. She is the center of the universe and wants us to remember that, haha.
We have worked on the letter "B" throughout the week as much as we could though. For Wednesday we made some banana pudding.
Our version is super simple, as cooking with toddlers should be in my opinion. We layer banana cream instant pudding, sliced bananas and vanilla wafers. I should have gotten a pic of the during cuz he cut the bananas himself! He is getting too big :(

Fat Kats Pizzeria Georgetown, KY

So after our day at the farm we decided to stop for something to eat. Hubby needed to get to bed as soon as he got home, and didn't feel like waiting for dinner to be cooked. (It was close to 7pm at this point and he works 3rd shift, meaning he goes in at Midnight..oi)

Knowing we had over an hour to drive we looked around in the same town the farm was in. We stumbled across Fat Kats!! I was super excited because I'd seen this place on Food Network and knew it won awards, haha. I told hubby we HAD to try it and see if it lived up to the hype... well....
IT DOES!!!!

Apparently we showed up while they were being bombarded with a huge order...some game was going on and ordered 50 pizzas. The guy at the door explained it'd be at least 30-35minute wait. We were debating, but figured it'd take us that long to decide on something else, so we stayed put.

Hubby and the oldest monsters took off looking for entertainment while I stayed at the booth with Sophie. When time came to place our order, the same guy we saw at the door greeted us. He was very friendly.
We ordered 2 pizzas. A large luau and a med...oops, forgot the name of the one the boys picks, haha. Hubby and I got Diet Pepsi (only downfall..no Coke products) while the kids got AppleJuice. They said they wanted to stick to our Apple Day! Sophie got milk :P
When it came time to pay, our server knocked $5 off our bill due to the wait, which wasn't even their fault!! Totally cool, in my opinion. It made our bill just under $34. Great time was had by all and I'll gladly make the drive again for that pizza!

 

The lovely menu. Yes, my monsters and I adored the mascot!

The game room was TINY and not impressive according to my kids, :/

The Luau

The...."other one" ahahaha

SO worth the wait



In the end, I'd rate this place with an A for AWESOME. Yes, our wait was long, but they made up for it. AND the server was ridiculously nice!
