Before all this productivity started I took Miss B hiking (that is Kansas hiking folks, no mountains, just hills mounds of dirt) at the lake! First we started off safe on the trails...
Then Miss B decided to get in touch with her roots and we went off road
We even saw one of her relatives - see the deer in the distance??
After our hike we had to re-fuel - what better way than a little DQ - did you know if you take your dog they will give you a 'pup cup' for FREE!! Don't worry she didn't waste one drop!
The Husband was gone ALL WEEKEND doing Driver's Ed. (I'm happy to report he came back to me on Sunday evening in one piece!) Saturday I went to the Farmer's Market, Sprint Class, Garage Sales and fixed the garage door. Yep that's right, I fixed the garage door all by myself! Got a little lot dirty in the process (read: covered in grease)
In hind sight it was probably NOT a one person job as I balanced myself and the rail for the door on a wobbly stack of boxes, but I got it done and I'm still in one piece!
I knew the Husband wouldn't want to do it when he got home and I really, really wanted to park in the garage again. Call me spoiled, but I hated having to defrost my car in the am - that doesn't really fit in my am schedule. In fact I have exactly30 27 minutes to get ready each morning - and that ends with me running sprinting out of the house while shoveling breakfast in my face. I get it done though.
Back to the point - the Husband is happy and quite impressed might I add AND we have a working garage door!
Miss B spent most of Saturday playing with rocks (weird I know, but one of her favs...) and watching our new neighbors move in -
When I had a break we had a photo sesh...
Sunday morning I bought a sewing machine. Yup, not really sure what I was thinking. I've been looking for new pillows and possibly some curtains or valences for the living room and bedrooms but can't find what I like. So I thought to myself Self you know how to sew, you can make your own! (Totally blanking on his name, but please tell me someone remembers our HS Calc Teacher that referred to himself as 'Self'!!) Forgot to remind myself that I haven't sewn anything since I was about 10... so this could be really interesting. But how hard could it be?! It was brand new in the box and I got it for $65 bucks, so I feel like that was a goodmistake decision... hopefully :)
I also made some really yummy treats this weekend! First up some Fiesta Burgers:
I only had hot-dog buns, so that's why they look like footballs! Very easy, but so good! Mix in purple onion, juice of one lime, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, minced jalapeno and Monterrey jack cheese into the raw hamburger then make patties and grill. Top with lettuce, avocado slices (grill the avocado if you're feeling really fancy) and salsa! Also really good if you toast the buns (hehe - I'm such a teenage boy!) SO GOOD!
Then for desert the peanut butter lover's dream... Peanut Butter Cake Donuts - recipe to come! I don't have a donut pan so I just made muffins!
Miss B was upset she didn't get to have a donut sinceI ate them all was saving them to share later. So she shredded the sheets in her bedroom - NOT cool Miss B, Not cool!
