look out martha stewart!


ok, so i highly doubt i'd ever come close to giving martha a run for her money, but i don't think i did too bad! with anthony's birthday being on friday, i wanted to make him some type of snack to take to "school" with him for the big day. after discussing with miss michelle what might be best for all the ages of the kids, we decided i would bring rice krispie treats. ok, now i'm 30 years old, but i have never made these before in my life...at least not by myself, but i figured it was high time i tried, and i owed it to tony! i think they turned out fine with the time i had to do them. in a perfect world i would have had a little einstein's ra-ra-ra-ra-rocket (sung like they do on the show) cookie cutter made, but - oh, welcome to the reality of a working mother - no time, no time! i decided on making them into the shape of stars (think outerspace, rockets, etc.)...only thing is, i didn't have a star cookie cutter, so i made do with what is actually a daisy cutter...so it's now more like an asterisk with rounded edges instead of a pointy star...i wrapped them in blue saran wrap (for the sky) and then made labels with rocket's image on them and wrote the kids' names on the label. i guess it'll work - if not, i'm sure the 2, 3, 4, & 5 year olds at tony's sitter will be the first ones to tell me what they really think of them!
