Oreo & Fudge Ice Cream Cake

-
Last year our friend made this for Big A's birthday; this year he requested it.

Prep: 10 minutes (you can do this with a one-year-old tugging at your shorts)
Total Time: 4 hours 10 minutes
Calories: 340
Serves: 12 (could be less or more depending on how you cut the cake)

1/2 c. hot fudge ice cream topping - warmed
1 (8 oz) tub cool whip - thawed
1 (4 serving size) pkg. chocolate pudding
8 chocolate sandwich cookies (Oreos) - chopped or crushed (approx. 1 c.)
12 vanilla ice cream sandwiches - unwrapped

1. Pour fudge topping into medium bowl. Add 1 cup cool whip; stir with wire whisk until well blended. Add dry pudding mix; stir until well blended. Gently stir in Oreos; lick whisk & set aside.
2. Arrange 4 sandwiches on a 24" long piece of foil; top with 1/2 cool whip mix. Repeat once. Top with 4 sandwiches. Frost top & sides with remaining cool whip. Use 4-5 more Oreos & crush them; sprinkle over sides & top to decorate. Bring up foil sides. Double foil top & ends to loosely seal packet. Be sure to lick out the cool whip container & other utensils used in this process.
3. Freeze at least 4 hours. Serve & enjoy. Store leftovers in freezer (although I doubt you'll have any).

Tips:
-If fudge topping is too thick to spread easily, stir in 1/4 c. milk
-Substitute neopolitan or chocolate chip sandwiches
-I thought about using caramel instead of hot fudge topping; don't know if it would work but it sounds good.

Hey there--I am just now finding my way over to your "place," and I'm glad I stayed a while. You are beautiful and have a gorgeous family. And we so have to be BFFs 'cause you listed "Redeeming Love" as one of your fave books. I LOVE FRANCINE RIVERS. Ever read the Mark of the Lion Trilogy? After Twilight and The Westing Game, Redeeming Love and the Trilogy round out my top 5 all-time favorties ever.

I'll be back to read more!

MOB Society: Bragging on Boys

Like my friend Erin shared in her "bragging" post, I don't necessarily want to "brag" about my boys but I am overjoyed at some of their accomplishments recently! So I will share with you! Moose is doing wonderfully at school. We moved him to the afternoon classroom and his teacher said that his behavior problems that they saw in the morning have virtually disappeared. Great! Twice last week (once at school and once at Sunday School) his teachers told me that he shared with someone. What a sigh of relief that one is; sharing is so hard but to know that what I'm implementing at home is working (even the itsy bitsiest bit!) is a relief.  I've noticed that baby toys are most enjoyed by the older crowd. Moose is also reading! I got the sight word list that kindergarteners start off with from his teacher - he read them all for me this morning. I bought a Chuggington book for him on their last book order - he read it by himself after only having it read

Greater (movie review)

Sports movies are some of my favorite ones; even better if they are underdog stories! "Greater" is just that - a true underdog story about Brandon Bulsworth who could be called the greatest walk-on in the history of college football. The movie follows Bulsworth from the time he's a kid. His mother is raising he and his brother (who is quite a bit older; old enough to be mistaken for his dad, laughably). His brother gives him a kick in the pants when Brandon claims he wants to play for the Arkansas Razorbacks. Brandon was a heavy kid so no one really thought it would happen. However, Brandon worked as hard as he could and made it. Walked on the team and caught the attention of his coach who put some amazing work into this kid to help him become better. I love when coaches look at the heart of a player more than ability. This really is an amazing story, an amazing movie - full of inspiration and encouragement. Things that seem impossible become possible. The rea

Big A is forever telling me to not say certain things on the road. Don't call me dear. Don't gasp or shout; I'll think there's a deer. Although these are paraphrased (and he claims he's never said the first one), these are the basis for this tale. We went to the Husker game last night. Scratch that - we worked at the Husker game last night. We helped his aunt (and her church) sell backrests as a fundraiser. Big A has done this most of last year & all of this year so far. He loves it. You sell backrests until kickoff, then you watch the game, and pick up the rests after. You're there 90 minutes before game time and for about an hour or so after the game. And you sometimes get leftover food (Runzas and hotdogs and popcorn - please fine out what a Runza is for those of you who aren't from Nebraska....it's so yummy!). Anyway...we went to the game & a few of our friends helped pick up the chairs voluntarily after so (with that help plus our amazing sp
