We've been looking forward to this time of the year. :) we have a very special shoutout, and thank you, for my dear, and lovely mom, and sister Lisa. :) they went to the grocery store yesterday evening and picked up baking friday supplies. :) it's very nice, and sweet of them. :) Thank you mom and Lisa, so very much! :) They help make baking friday possible each week. :) Around mid-morning, i gathered baking friday supplies, and decoratives, and ventured out into our kitchen to begin setting up and decorating our kitchen for our super fun adventure. :) it's part of the great baking friday fun each week. :) Kayla has drawn some awesome bumble bees themed pictures over the years. :) i displayed her wonderful drawings in our kitchen today. :) Kayla is so happy and excited about her artwork being featured in the all city art show next wednesday. :) 
my mom, dad, niece Alyssa, and i were hanging out in our living room. my allergies were extremely severe around mid-morning, i was really struggling. Alyssa recently got a prescription for Nasonex Spray, and she gave it to my mom, and mentioned it may help me. :) i took  my last allegra allergy tablet last sunday, and had been so thankful my allergies were eased for most of the week, but they were really severe this morning. i tried the nasonex nose spray, i sprayed it twice in each nostril, and it began to help me, and i also 2 popsicles before lunch time, and i was thankfully feeling much better. :) my dad and Alyssa went out to walmart, and they went to dunkin donuts, and got me a nice blueberry coolata iced drink. :) it's very nice of them. :) i made some tomato soup, with baked potatoes, and 2 baked tortilla wraps for lunch, it was delicious! :) i enjoyed some nice time here on DS this early afternoon, writing to friends. :) i got my fan on here, and am feeling much better, i'm thankful my allergies. :) that nasonex spray is incredible, it was so nice how it helped me quickly, easing my allergy symptoms. :) i am extremely happy, and thankful. :)
Around 3pm, i began to gather some more baking friday supplies, and went back out into our kitchen, to put the finishing touches on our kitchen preparations for our super fun adventure. :) i also prepared some whole wheat pretzel dough to make a few huge pretzels. :) They're so easy to make. :) around 3:20pm, Kayla and Taylynn arrived home from school. :) they had a really nice day at school. :) they love school. :) We're so proud of them. :) Kayla was so happy to see her bumble bees pictures in our kitchen. :) We were gearing up, to bake some yummy treats. :) Taylynn has been having lots of fun playing outside after school, and little Michael will be able to join in on the baking friday fun again, sometime during summer, as right now, my sister Jenn and Mike are busy during the friday afternoon's, Mike got a new job, and they have busy afternoon's, but hopefully little Michael will get to join in on the baking friay fun again soon. :)
i wore my apron that our dear and lovely friend Cj's (ddeadred) lovley mom sewn for me, plus we use our nice oven mits, kitchen towels, and pot holders that we have recieved from friends, all around the world. :) each one, is very special, and unique. :) i sent texts to friends today to wish them a happy baking friday. :) Thank you everyone, for the wonderful texts! :) You all are always with us in spirit in the kitchen during our adventures, and we're with you all in spirit too. :) our kitchen was all set, and ready, and we were ready to bake! bake! bake! :)
We began our super fun adventure! :) we began with some funny jokes! :) hehe! :) one of our favorite things! :) Kayla said, "i got one!" :) She said, "why was the banana being nice to the orange?" and i said, "how come?" and she said, "because he didn't want to hurt his PEELINGS! hahahaha! :) hehehe! :) She got me! :) i said, "ok, i got one! what does Bees chew?" Kayla was thinking about it, i gave her a couple hints, and she got it right! :) She said, "BUMBLE GUM!" hahaha! :) we gave eachother a high five. :) i said, "what do you call smart bees?" and Kayla instantly got this one! She said, "SPELLING BEES!" hehehe! :) we were having lots of fun already, and our adventure had just began! :)
We began to prepare the brownies :) i said to Kayla, "pick out the best 2 eggs ever!" :) She said, "coming right up!" :) Kayla loves to select the eggs. :) She opened up the fridge, and selected the eggs. :) i said, "awesome!" :) Kayla was telling me about a cool balloon game they play at school, on fridays :) Kayla won 3rd place! :) She got some candies for coming in 3rd place. :) She was so proud to do well in the game. : )awww! :) We began to add the brownies mix into the big bowl. :) we love the scent of brownies mix. :) we added some melted butter, some water, and 2 eggs, and began to super stir! :) we were enjoying the baking friday adventure. :) my mom and Lisa were coming out into the kitchen. :) Lisa said, "i can't wait to have a brownie!" :) awww! :) i used some butter to grease the baking pan, and we then poured the brownies mix into the baking pan. :) i then put the brownies into the oven to bake! bake! bake! :) We love that sweet chocolate scent of chocolate brownies baking. :)
As the brownies were baking, we prepared some whole wheat pretzels. :) the dough was all set. :) We made 6 huge pretzels. :) i got some water bowling on the stove, and i put the pretzels in the water, 2 at a time, to let the pretzels boil up, and then put the pretzels on a nice butter greased pan. :) we put garlic powder, salt, and some nice salt free seasoning on the pretzels, and i put the pretzels into the oven to bake. :) as the pretzels and brownies were baking, Kayla and i prepared the yellow and black frostings. :) i had another funny joke to share with Kayla. :) i said, "ok ok, what do flowers and the letter A have in common?" and Kayla took a few guesses, and i said, "they both have BEES coming after them!" hahahaha! :) hehehe! :) this was awesome! :)
The brownies baked nicely, we kept the pretzels continuing to bake :) We took a little break, to do some cleaning in the kitchen. :) Kayla went out to see how Taylynn and her friends were doing. :) once the brownies had cooled down, we began to get ready to decorate them. :) We love to decorate. :) We first heated up the yellow frosting, for about 30 seconds, and put a marshmallow into the frosting, and then put the yellow marshmallow onto the brownie. :) We made 9 of the marshmallows on the brownies, as we then used black frosting to decorate the bumble bees themed brownies. :) they came out really cool! :) we were showing everyone the brownies, they came out so nice. :) my sister Lisa is gonna have a brownie this evening. :) the pretzels finished baking, i had one of the pretzels, they are delicious! :)
We had lots of fun baking today. :) i thanked Kayla for helping bake. :) i said, "thanks Kayla! baking friday! cool dude!" :) awww! :) i also thanked my mom and sister Lisa again for picking up baking friday supplies. :) we're continuing to gear up, for the 300th baking friday adventure celebration soon. :) it's coming up soon. :) there's many more super fun baking friday adventures to look forward too. :)
