Peppermint fudge

Jake stayed home this morning to avoid the traffic mess caused by the recent snow storm.  I was able to take Nolan to preschool without getting two kids bundled up and loaded into car seats.  It was a treat!  I’m amazed at how much faster I can maneuver when I’m only toting along one kid.  I wonder if I’d think the same thing if we had 3 and I only had to keep track of 2.  I digress…

Lincoln wasn’t very happy about being left at home this morning.  He’s used to going everywhere Nolan and I go, especially to school.  In order to get him to think about something other than missing his brother, I had him help break the candy canes for on top of the peppermint fudge I made.  It was the perfect job for a little boy!  And just in case you’re wondering how it turned out, the fudge is DELICIOUS!
