Last night we got the call, no school on Thursday because of expected temps at 30 below. There was noisy cheering from all of the students in the house. I came up with a simple plan and it mostly worked. I promised the three amigos that we'd make s'mores AND brownies. I may have lost my mind. Fill them up with sugar on a day when we can't get outside to burn off the energy? Well...
The lure of the treat and a few hours of TV kept things mostly civil among the natives, until I got my work done. Then we made some midnight brownies. And then the s'mores, marshmallows roasted over a flame and smushed between some crackers. Yummy!
Archer very kindly spent the next hour making a batch of marvelous chicken gnocchi soup. It was definitely better than I've ever made, and I'm not just saying that to make him feel good. It really was the best ever!
We've finally settled down for the night, enjoyed our brownies, and I'm hoping they fall asleep while watching the last movie of the day.
The only question I have now is, what am I going to do with them tomorrow, when they're off of school again?
