Cinnamon rolls & allergies!!

No, we aren't allergic to cinnamon rolls (Thanks be to God!!), but I do feel a little bad. You would think I could handle making the kind of cinnamon rolls that you just pull apart on stick in the oven...think again!! I had one chance to make them right this morning and I blew it!! Do you know how fired up I was to have a yummy, gooey cinnamon roll made with Cinnabon cinnamon and icing??? Not to mention, my poor children patiently waited with their cute little watering mouths!!

I've never been one to brag about my cooking skills, but come on, this is the easiest thing ever!! Want to know what went wrong? A tiny step that could have saved the lives of those 6 little precious things!! I got home from the grocery store and stuck those bad boys right in the FREEZER! DUH!!!!!! Just so you know, they belong in the refrigerator. Don't make the same mistake I did!

I was so mad. Mason was so sad and Gracie just wanted to eat!! SOOOO, we ate them anyway and had a great time laughing at how crispy and tough they were. Gracie choked a couple of times, but all is well and our belly's are full!! LESSON LEARNED!! This is what they SHOULD have looked like :)

And now for the allergy test: Gracie has had a stuffy nose and watery eyes for a good ummmmm 2 years now and we had her tested yesterday to see what was causing it. Have you ever had an allergy test? OUCHY!! They pricked her back with little scrapy things...as many times as her little back would hold. She was so tough...screaming while trying to eat a lollipop and sing the Dora song all at the same time.

The results are in and I told all of you that the whole 'pet thing' just wasn't for us! It was that motherly instinct, right? HAHA!! Gracie is severely allergic to cats. She is also allergic to dogs, trees and weeds. There you have it...no cats for the Mabery Family...doctor's orders!!
