Tasty Fun Weekend

We had a great weekend and enjoyed the weather. Friday night we went to the Annual Swinney Switch Volunteer Fire Department Fish Fry. Lena Kate was such a good girl and ate a good dinner...including all my french fries in addition to the turkey, cheese, and pears I packed her. She was a little ham as usual flirting and enjoying herself RUNNING around.

Saturday we spent the day in Corpus shopping and piddling around while Papa attended a continuing education class for dentists. He is now an advocate for melatonin supplements and sleeping in a completely dark room. The later I can attest to. Go on a cruise and stay in an inner cabin and you will have some of the best sleep ever.....or maybe that was the beverages I may or may not have consumed. Um, I'm going with the total darkness theory. I got a new belt and dress that will look so cute with my boots...now I just need an occasion to wear them. Mom also got me two cute tops for my birthday coming up in 2 weeks-THANKS MOM! Lena Kate did really well considering we were gone from before 8 and not back until after 6. She just doesn't' like to ride in carts or her stroller very long. That girl loves to be on her own two feet. The ladies at Chico's loved her.

Sunday we stayed home and just enjoyed having LK's Dada home from work. Being tax season he's already working 6 days a week and long hours. We miss him but understand and are so blessed that he works so hard for us. The weather was BEAUTIFUL and we played around outside most of the afternoon.

Hey Lena Kate, show Mama your belly!

Finally some hair clips she'll leave in her hair.

Pioneer Woman's Homemade Pizza-ok, not hers, but her recipe. This was all ours, baby.

Swinney Switch Fish Fry




She looks scared, but I thought it was cute. LK is the spitting image of her father-good thing he's a cutie.
Homemade copycat Macaroni Grill Bread....rosemary, salt, olive oil...larger hips...
The bread made a great gourmet burger bun.

This little ham is STANDING on the seat of her giraffe, RIDE-(not stand) on toy. She is quite the acrobat with some outstanding balance...right before I raise my voice a little to tell her to SIT I snapped this picture. Notice Missy is usually not far behind...she secretly likes Lena Kate.

Ranch Chicken and Potatoes.....Ranch dip mix, sour cream, potatoes, cheese, bacon, chicken..need I say more?! I know, I know...not a lot of healthy food choices the last week, but they were oh so worth it.
I hope your weekend was blessed by the Lord, I know ours sure was.
PS: To all of those I just made hungry, sorry...I made myself hungry too. I think I'll go have a blond brownie to top it all off. No, I didn't take a picture of those, but I did bake them.

Love PW's pizza crust recipe, and YES you made me hungry even though it's midnight. Shame, shame, shame on you! ;) Love the LK pics as usual, she and Q would have themselves in a world of trouble. We should definitely meet up sometime!! We need to eat some fried fish together. ;) Hope your week goes great, tax season will be over soon, there is light at the end of the tunnel!
