Welcome back, thanks for checking on our busy life......=)

So what a week it's been, DH is still in Canada for work.
~Monday was no school and DD went with the Canadian kids group to the Museum of Science and Nature.  Monday night I broke my tooth flossing.
~Tuesday I had to take the car in for an oil change, so worked out first then my friend and I went to town. After I stopped into the dentist to see if they could check my tooth, they had a cancellation, so I got in at 2pm. Discovered I had already had a root canal done on my tooth, and that's why it wasn't hurting.  So got a build up done, and was to come back Thursday to get a crown.
~Wednesday DS had early morning Hockey practice...starting at 5:45am. 
I made two of these breads below to bring to a lunch with the ladies that live around the lake:

Recipe of the Day!! Apple Cinnamon Bread!

Don't forget to share on your timeline so you always have this yummy one.

1/3 cup brown sugar (not packed)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2/3 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup milk
1 apple, peeled and chopped

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan. Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl and set aside. Beat white sugar and butter together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, until incorporated; add vanilla extract.

Combine flour and baking powder together in another bowl; stir into creamed butter mixture. Mix milk into batter until smooth. Pour half the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Next add half the apples and half the brown sugar cinnamon mixture. Lightly pat apple mixture into batter.

Pour the remaining batter over apple layer; top with remaining apples and add more brown sugar/cinnamon mixture. Lightly pat apples into batter; swirl brown sugar mixture through apples using a finger or spoon.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes.

The weather still continues to be in the 40's F, which is nice but it's making a icy mess of everything.  Not sure I trust going on the lake as well. The weatherman says that this weather is going to continue into next week with the sun coming out.  CRAZY!! we are even breaking more records for rain fall and warm temps.

Thursday I got up with kids then got them off to school, and then headed for the dentist, I was early but they started early.it was so neat how they made my crown right there at the office....so cool !!
