It was one of those wonderful weekends when we didn’t have any big plans but somehow we had a blast, got some stuff done AND was relaxing at the same time. Friday night we had free tickets to PBR (Professional Bull Riding) It isn’t often when Bob and I go out without kiddos and bull riding didn’t seem like my first pick but we had the BEST time. The event was exciting, our tickets included drinks and dinner at the arena, kids were being taken care of by great neighbors and I was with the best looking city cowboy there J
Remember that desk I’m suppose to have done by October 1st???? Well, it got sanded and primed on Saturday!
We all went to an amazing church service Saturday night then dinner out at TJ’s Burger House (a family favorite all the way around)
On Sunday the desk got a coat of paint. That’s all you’re getting out of me about it until the big reveal! Bob meanwhile power washed the back deck in preparation for staining in the next couple of weeks.
Does anyone believe I was working as hard as him this weekend…… it’s just I had to stop to take some pictures……yeah no one who knows us believes that :)
I also made some Monster Cookies to take down to those great neighbors’ house for dinner Sunday night. That’s right they watched our kids Friday night AND had us down for smoked pork and all the fixings on Sunday (for anyone keeping track I didn’t cook a meal once this weekend)
Monster Cookies
6 eggs
½ lb. butter
1 lb. brown sugar
2 c. white sugar
1/8 c. vanilla
½ t. salt
1 ½ lb. crunchy peanut butter
4 t. baking soda
9 c. rolled oats
½ lb. chocolate chips
½ lb. M&Ms
Blend sugar and butter. Add eggs and beat. Stir in remaining ingredients. Drop by ice cream scoop onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
I couldn’t think of a better way to end a great weekend than this.....good friends, good food and a good drink on their deck.
Monday brings laundry, cooking, grocery shopping and some painting but that's okay because the weekend is only 5 days away!
