Lazy Sundays are the best! When all the chores around the house are done, no kids parties to attend, and no weekend work duties to tend to - just relaxing with the kids is a perfect Sunday!
Here are our boys enjoying their Sunday with their electronics, comfy blanket and pillow fort away from mom and dad's prying eyes, and a snack of Pop Secret popcorn!
Our boys are starting to be so independent! I'm loving that they can prepare their own snacks, better yet clean up after themselves!
Here's an awesome popcorn ball recipe from http://www.ihearteating.com/ which my kids LOVE!
INGREDIENTS
1 bag microwave popcorn
1/4 c. butter
1 (10 oz.) bag mini marshmallows
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 - 1 c. M&Ms or Reese’s Pieces (optional)
Be sure to visit Popsecret's Facebook page for a $1 coupon off their microwaveable popcorn!
