just give up.

we have weak teeth in my family.

 my kids have them too.

those lucky little rascals....

so when we have to get fillings, we've started a bit of a comforting tradition to let the "victim" choose the jello flavor that i make for the after party.

i always say no to the idea of "rainbow" for obvious reasons.

too much work.

but this time i couldn't resist my middle child's sparkly baby blues as he asks for it.

i tried to follow a recipe...
i think it was this one?

but it wasn't working for me
and i am just one of those people that starts out an idea and then just ditches it if its getting to be a pain.

i just find an easier way.

and I'm not that picky about perfection.

i basically just made all the colors of jello and then, in its floppy jelly form layered it into jars in between layers of cool whip.

i am sure there are ways to make it all perfect and smooth on each layer.

but i am not really interested in that kind of waiting and work.

honestly, this did the trick.

don't over think it, people.

this is shauna reed saying,

"sometimes you need to just give up and do it the easy way"

oh gosh, don't faint.

you know its true.

look how much my kids loved the easy way....
