Welcome back to Party in Your PJ’s!  It’s hard to believe another busy week has passed, and for us, last weekend was extra busy!  My son and daughter-in-law needed to go to a conference so this grandma and grandpa stepped up to the plate and kept the four little ones.

I did some planning ahead of time to make sure we had plenty of things to do to keep busy.

On day one we made a craft, played games, played outside and kept busy at home. Read more….

Sorry, I’m running late!  I just got home from a 12-hour workday and I’m way behind.  You know, one of those days where everything seems to go wrong.  That’s all right though, it’s all good and tomorrow will be a better day!

This is the first time I’ve made these dessert bars, so I wasn’t too sure what the result would be.   I was so pleased because they are total ooey, gooey goodness!

My taste testers were myself, my son and daughter-in-law and my husband, Paul.  My son and daughter-in-law loved them; in fact my son has already requested more.  When they were warm out of the oven my husband wasn’t too sure about them, but the next day he commented “you know, these are pretty good”.  And he showed his enthusiasm by helping us to eat the entire 9 x 13 inch pan over the next few days.
