Cookie Swap!!


The Kutarnas, Biebers, Paige and Burns, and I had a little dinner get together. The dinner itself was pretty dang delicious  if I do say so myself, but afterwards we had a HUGE cookie swap!! 

Earlier in the week me and Arianne had been talking about the swap and were saying what kind of cookies we would be bringing, I had no idea what kind of cookie I would bring so I just said the most ridiculous thing I could think of at the time "Pumpkin Banana Cookies". After saying this, Arianne made me pinkie promise her that I would actually make them and put the recipe on my blog.

The day before the swap Joe and I went snowboarding/Snowmobiling (a post on that will be up shortly) so we were pretty exhausted and I still hadn't made my cookies. Since I promised I would bring cookies I just bought some and wrote "Marshall's Banana Pumpkin Cookies" on them so that technically i wouldn't have broke my promise to Arianne.


Seems Pretty Legit, I know!


Even though I thought I was safe from breaking my promise I still felt like I would have let Arianne down, so due to my good nature I decided to look online to see if there were actual recipes for banana pumpkin cookies, and turns out there were tons! So the next day before the swap I whipped those babies up and they were actually so good! But being the clever child I am, I thought it would be funny I still used the packaging from the other boughten cookies and just put my cookies inside them, just to trick Arianne.

She was fooled completely and pretty disappointed to say the least. Until she opened the package and unveiled these puppies!
 Here's the recipe just for you, Arianne.

Ingredients:

2 cups flour
1 cup oats
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup softened butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1 Banana

Me, being a man, didn't read the instructions and just threw them all together and but them into the oven at 350 until they looked and tasted done.


Just look at all these cookies and all their glory! :)


All in all it was a pretty fun night with great food and better company. I will have to go to another one these... in a week.... Thanks a lot Paige and Burns for the invite!

Messin' With the Bieb's

Since I have moved up to Calgary there are times at night where me and Alex get a little bored. This is when we get the most creative, and this leads to some mischievous behaviour. At these times we there is nothing better than laughing at the expense of other people, aka - the bieber's (my sister Arianne and her husband Daryn). Some of our previous pranks included toilet papering their house and folding origami out of some money I owed them, but this one takes the cake!

Last night was just one of those nights where there was not a lot to do, and after noticing the neighbours had an old Christmas tree leaning against their house and that the biebers were out of town, we started hatching out a plan.


getting crafty we started making decorations!


It was also conveniently Arianne's Birthday so we used that as an excuse.

This is the final product! 

Than we just sat back and waited for the magic to happen! Luckily they were good enough sports to not kill us, so we could live to tell about it. All in all, it was a great prank and I regret nothing!

My First Mothah Flippin Blogpost!

You may be wondering to yourself... What is up with the blog title? Why is a boy making a blog? What kind of content do I expect to see on this blog? And of course Why has it taken so long for a blog worth actually visiting to be created.

My responses to those questions are... The blog title is what it is because a) It's the truth. b) It's just as random as this blog is going to be. c) I don't care what y'all think, cuz haters gonna hate!
The reason a boy is making a blog is because I dang well feel like it!
What you expect to see on my blog is anything i find interesting and anything in my life worthy enough to share with the world (so basically everything). You may find videos, pictures, stories, and other bits of shenanigans.

Lastly I'm just kidding about this being the only good blog (frankly it might suck) but there are plenty of great blogs out there! But if you are looking for some entertainment, this is the blog for you! So sit back and relax and let myunclesnameiswade.blogspot.com blow your mind!
