Hey friends! I just realized that a whole week has gone by and I forgot to update on how our girly weekend went last week! If you remember, my hubby was away for the weekend with some buddies, so it was just us girls at home. This is what I posted that we had planned to do together:
Make: * Banana Bread * Pumpkin Bread * Pumpkin/Caramel Butter * Homemade applesauce *A new soup recipe
We also plan to ...
Have a spa night at home, watch movies, sleep in Mommy's room, go to Hope's soccer game, go to church, go to our Bible study group, and if I still have time I might try to work on my current organization project which is my basement/craft area.
Well, we DID get all our baking done … we did 5 loaves of Banana bread, 5 loaves of pumpkin bread, 12 jars of applesauce and 6 jars of the caramel/pumpkin butter. We also had the new soup and great news – it was a hit! A bit on the spicy side but after a LONG day it was great to come home to hot, yummy soup that was all ready to eat. The girls and I gobbled it up!
Hope accidentally turned the mixer onto HIGH and the flour went everywhere! We could NOT stop laughing!
This was our first taste of warm Banana bread with Pumpkin/Caramel butter on it – delish!
The first night we got a movie from the Red Box and did a Spa night. We soaked our feet, did our nails and just relaxed while watching the movie.
Oh and of course, we had a special dessert – brownie sundaes!
On Saturday we went to Hope’s soccer game – which they WON! Then we went to a Fall Carnival at the school where some of our friends go, then we went to see Dolphin Tale at the movie theater. It was a busy, but fun day {no pictures, sorry!}. Then we came home, had the soup and watched The Indian in the Cupboard from Red Box.
I have to tell you – we all LOVE, LOVE, LOVED Dolphin Tale! It was such a wonderful story in a million ways. I swear I had a lump in my throat & tears in my eyes through the WHOLE thing! And I loved that they didn’t add any stupid love story stuff in it so it was great for kids. There was a young girl and boy in it and also a single woman and single man in it – both of which you could ALMOST see how many movies would have made either of them into a romantic type relationship – but not this movie! I just can’t say enough about it, it was great!
On Sunday we got up and went to church, then I got a surprise when my friend offered to take both girls to play with her daughters for the afternoon. So with Bob away and the girls at a playdate I ended up going out to lunch with my Mom and some of her friends, and then running a couple errands. By the time I got home I only had about an hour before I had to leave again for our Bible Study small group. {The girls were there, the hosts are the friends they went to play with.} So I went to Bible study and got the girls and when we came home Bob was home.
All in all we had a GREAT weekend!
