Catching Up With The Kelnhofers-14

Hi Friends, This week on Catching Up With The Kelnhofers all things candy, SNOW in Milwaukee, 500+ unread emails and so many delicious things, plus a super serious question!!

Snickers…the big debate – do you think it’s overrated or underrated? There were a bunch of Snickers left over in my son’s Halloween bucket and I grabbed one and said to my husband “these are so underrated, they’re amazing” and he laughed and said “no way, Snickers are so overrated.” Important question: where do you fall in the debate?

All this Snickers talk reminds me…I need to make these peanut butter snickers brownies again one of these days.

“This pie was amazing!!! I ate a piece warm, but it was really great served cold!”

General stories/things I’m loving:

We repainted several rooms in our house, one of which was the upstairs bathroom-the kids bathroom if you will. It was a hideous bright orange, oof is all I have to say. We got it painted a neutral gray (agreeable gray) and omg did it transform the room! I ordered this cool rubber duck patent print and I cannot wait to see it all together. I will, of course, share a picture when it’s done. Ben loves rubber duckies so I’m really excited I found this one.
My office looks big and awkward now, so I’m going to use Havenly to help design it – they’re the online interior design service I used for the 3 kids shared room.
I’d never had Captain Crunch before and, the other day, my husband brought home peanut butter Captain Crunch. It was so good. It reminded me of when I had honeycomb cereal and loved it so much I made it into these crazy delicious honey salted blondies.
I watched the Avicii True Stories documentary on Netflix; what a sad and interesting story!
Jack Ryan Season 2 is off to kind of a slow start…does anyone else think this? The episodes seem long and then, boom, in the last 5 minutes a bunch of stuff happens. It’s not as intense as Season 1 where I just HAD to watch the next episode and stayed up all night doing just that 🙂
I’m currently reading A Woman Is No Man – This week I haven’t made it through my book because I’ve been having conversations with Ben in the car and it’s so cute. He’s starting to talk a little bit and our ‘conversations’ are some of my favorite moments of the day. He tells me if he colored or painted at school and I ask him what colors he painted with, things like that. I learned he painted (not drew) a fox, and the fox had ears and a nose and eyes and a tail, and he painted it orange. I mean how cute is that?!
There’s so much snow here – Ben is in shock like the rest of us

Ben had FroYo for the first time

This Friday is a Serbian celebration called Slava (The Slava is a Serbian Orthodox Christian tradition of the ritual glorification of one’s family’s patron saint). The family celebrates the Slava annually on the saint’s feast day. I made Vanilice cookies with Ben
