Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars

Ever since we made that first batch of blondies, cookies have become a rarity and it's all about bars around here.

 

Bars are so easy to make because the ratio of 1:1 for butter, flour, eggs and sugar means the kids can make them without any help.

 

Melt 1 stick butter with 1 cup brown sugar

Mix in 1 egg  

 

Next mix in as much peanut butter as you want (or none at all!) I put around 1/2-  3/4 cup)

 

 

 

Lastly, mix in 1 cup flour until smooth

 

 

 I only had half of a 200 gram chocolate bar (the big baking size) on hand so that is how much I put. It most definitely could take a whole bar.

 

You can cut the chocolate European Style to save time.

 I'm a big fan or parchment paper since I'm not very inclined to spend time washing pans.

 Bake on 350f (175C) and start checking them after 20 minutes.

 Cut them into squares and enjoy.  Don't Forget to hide all evidence that they ever existed in case you and the kids eat them all without saving a single one for your husband. Not that we woud ever do such a thing.

Sink Time

Give Seb some water and you have yourself a happy baby. I've never plunked him in the sink before for play time and I could tell that he was thinking the whole time "is this for real?" 

He would fill up his bottle and then pour it into the adjacent sink. Pouring never gets old. 

This expression shouts "are you sure this is okay? I'm not in trouble?"  

                                                    Warm water on baby feet 

I have a feeling that we are going to spend from March until November engaged in water play. 

Rugby Photos

It's safe to say that Mooj has mastered that infamous rugby scowl. 

Night Night Mano

Mano is an affectionate term for brother in Portuguese, and mano is generally what Freddy and Sebby call their big brother. The other night when Freddy went to give Mooj a hug goodnight, Seb got down from my arms and was on that sofa in seconds. Seb never wants to be left out of a hug.

 He then put his hands on his head and said "head, eyes, mouff" which is his way of asking for the song "Head Shoulders Knees and Toes."

It's official; Moojie can never move out.

A Few More Examples

I know I need to step away from Waterlogue, but I had to share a few more. I love love love this App!

Horses in the Alentejo (can you tell I downloaded from my Alentejo folders? :) )

Warerlogue

I'm having such a fun time messing around with the Warerlogue App. It doesn't work well with all photos, and seems  to work best with landscapes instead of people, but these three pictures came out okay.

It would be a cute way to commemorate a beloved stuffed animal, or pet. I can't wait for Zita to get home because I know she will go wild over this.
