Weekend Plans

Or lack thereof...First off...Happy Spring my friends!!!!!! No matter what the weather is outside my window, spring is here. Technically. No matter. We have little to no plans this first weekend of spring, so I am not complaining. One more chance to snuggle in our country home and rest and relax. : ) Friday Rhett has plans to be at the theatre helping out after dinner. Which, by the way is our Lenten staple of Tuna and Noodles. The rest of us are planning on attending Stations of The Cross at our church.

Saturday is a free day around here. I am happy to say, aside from a few usual chores...laundry, vacuuming etc...., we really have no plans. Madison works the evening shift at Dairy Queen, so I plan on having dinner before she goes. She is my pasta girl, so I think I will whip up quick pasta side to go with  the chicken that Steve is grilling for dinner. Then, of course, we should get a Dairy Queen treat when we drop her off, right?!

Sunday we will attend Mass and then come home and have brunch. I am thinking pancakes, sausage, scrambled eggs, and fresh fruit. After that, I have penciled in a nap. : ) Madison works the evening shift on Sunday as well. They rest of us will most likely enjoy some quiet time and pizza before finishing off our weekend with what else...The Walking Dead. Are you watching yet? Because you should be. Just sayin'. ; )

And that , my friends, is what we will be up to this weekend. I hope yours is happy, and cozy, and spring-like, whatever your plans may be!

Flynn loves the moon...and we caught this pretty sight out our window last weekend.

Also last week, I had a helper during our family Rosary. And you aren't noticing all the lint and puppy hair on my black pants, right? Didn't think so.

Also last weekend...Peyton whipped up this beauty from scratch for our friends. They were just engaged and my sweet friend's favorite ever is chocolate cake. Success. : )

Sunday, I celebrated spring early by treating myself to this sweet little tea mug. : )

And while I was out splurging on myself, Peyton and Steve were creating this...a big pot of amazing sauce and meatballs. From scratch. 'Cause is there any other way when your daddy was Italian?

Peyton is teaching my baby well. I looked over and saw my little Flynn working hard at folding the wash cloths. : )

St. Patrick's Day found us hard at work early in the morning.

We decorated the table...

did some fun schoolwork...

made this delicious meal of potatoes, cabbage, onions, carrots, and bacon for dinner...

(This is actually my lunch the next day...because it was that good!)

and finished off the day with a piece of our traditional lime jello poke cake.

Happy Weekend, friends!!!!
