When they kids grew up they would come over to the house when it snowed and make sure the steps and the driveway was cleaned of snow.

If I had a bag of M&M's they would be gone so they stay in the store . I know the kids will miss you and boy are they cute. Enjoy those extra pounds coming back. It will give you something to do when you get home. I envy those that can eat that stuff and not get Diabetes from it..My Sister In Law can eat anything and she stays thin . Now her Daughter is just the opposite. She is heavy and diabetic.

Aren't they the most ANNOYING pests? Don't feel bad-you're not alone. I've learned to stay the heck away from the special edition M&Ms now cause if they're here I'll eat them. I'm down in weight now and don't wanna mess that up!<br /><br />Those downsized cake mixes are a royal pain...the upsizer I found works great for cookies-Cyndy made one up for cakes using the Duncan Hines mixes.............(*^% companies can't leave well enough alone.<br /><br />Those bars look really good and I can see they made for 2 happy kiddos.

A woman with a healthy mind and a "guilty Sweet Tooth". I loved this blog today. What would have happened if you hadn't eaten the half bag of M and M's ? The kids, who are adorable, would have had more to eat. These cookie bars look great. I also use applesauce instead of oil in some recipes. Also thank you for explaining the downsizing. I am clueless. I must try these. Thanks for sharing this recipe and also the picture of the kids who are going to MISS YOU !!!myrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17287732100486026839noreply@blogger.com
