Seriously Dangerous

I really should never, ever make these squares 'cause they are just too yummy, but it's a great one to make if you have a girlfriend coming over for coffee and not a lot of time to bake. The prep time is probably less than 5 minutes. Try them. (and don't blame me if you gain 10 pounds!)

PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE SQUARES

1 cup margarine
1 cup brown sugar
3 cups oatmeal
1 cup chocolate chips
2/4 cup peanut butter

Melt margarine, stir in brown sugar and oatmeal. Press into greased 9x13 inch pan. Bake at 350F for 20 minutes. Melt chocolate chips and peanut butter together; spread over oatmeal. Chill approx. 1 hour.

Always Thinkin'

I was saying to Jeremy that we really needed to take Maarti to the health unit to get her weighed. Jeremy (the very loyal former employee of Home Hardware) figured it was crazy to drive across town when the hardware store is way closer and has a perfectly good nail scale. I admit it... he was right.

Baby Emma Visits

For the last couple of days we've enjoyed having our cousins, Joel and Chris, from Ireland here. Their daughter, Emma, is only ten days older than Maarti so we have been looking forward to this visit from the day she was born.

Here are the girls enjoying their first of many tea parties together:












Yes we did! Matching outfits! Since the girls will probably only see each other once every two years or so Chris and I figured we may only have a couple of opportunities to dress them the same before they protest.
