The Weekend
Our weekend.. especially all the food consumed
He has perfected the pout but I finally caught it on camera.. in fact he was so angry with me he even let me make a video of him tell me to 'go away!' two going on fourteen?
We had to make a quick stop at the mall.. which of course would have been incomplete with a ride on the carousel. And getting some chocolate covered strawberries from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. They also have some of the best caramel apples!
D's class had caterpillars as their class pet.. come spring they had become beautiful butterflies. So the children made and wore these butterfly headbands as they celebrated the release of the butterflies.
On Friday M came home a little early and the boys tossed around a ball before dinner.
I made some banana chocolate chip cake balls.. donut holes. Nothing fancy.. just a snack for the boys.
The boys attempting to shuck corn while we fire up the grill..
We tried out a new breakfast place Sunday morning.. and to say the portions were big is an understatement.. they were enormous.. this was a kid sized pancake..
and our french toast.. but they were so good. Next time we'll probably share.
nom nom.. did I mention I've been trying to eat healthy and loose a few pounds.. FAIL!
Those cake balls look so good! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteGood morning Hena. Your boys are so darling! I have two boys too but they are 26 and 24. I've probably already told you that. :)
ReplyDeleteThe food looks amazing and yes...huge! I'm trying to lose a few pounds too and it's hard when we go out to eat.
As a lover of food.. it's always hard :( Have never felt the need to loose until now.. the baby weight just won't go
Deletei know, as the first person to comment said, your cake balls looked more delicious than anything! but going out to breakfast is fun too, when you don't have to cook. i was looking at your etsy site and loved all that you create! ;)
ReplyDeletethanks!
Deleteyes my husband thought it would be nice to go out so I could actually sit and enjoy instead of being in the kitchen.
That breakfast place is insane! That is my husband's size kind of pancake. The french toast presentation is unique. I drooled at the sight of your banana cake balls. Those must be fun to make. I need to give our doughnut pan a whirl. The Will Trent series you're reading sounds good. Will see if my library carries it.
ReplyDeleteThis is my second in the Will Trent series and the first was just that good! Have a third on my bookshelf waiting to be read.
DeleteThe breakfast place was so cooked we have already started strategizing how we will order next time..
The cake balls are fun to make and the boys loved them. Thinking of which flavor to try next.
Caramel apples from the Rocky Mountain chocolate company are AMAZING

DeleteThat first pic is just priceless:D And all that food.....gaaaaaaah! I'm hungry now!
ReplyDeleteFirst, those pancakes are as big as your children! :) What was in the french toast? It looks divine!
ReplyDeleteEvery so often I'll stop at RM Chocolate Factory for their Reese PB Cup Apple. Holy moly, it's sinful.
The butterfly is so pretty and what a fun experience in the classroom. Your boys are darling. I'm glad it was a fun weekend!
haha.. one was strawberry cream cheese and the other was peanut butter and bananas :)
Deletehehe i love the pout! 2 on 14 indeed!!

ReplyDeleteAll that food is making me hungry! Mmmmmm! Love that pout!

ReplyDeletehaha, fun post. Your boys are so cute. I love the pout!
ReplyDeleteThat pout is so perfect omg how do you not just give in and give him everything he wants when he makes that face?!?!?
ReplyDeleteWe try very hard not to.. he is getting very good at it and uses it to manipulate everyone.. the grandparents cave instantaneously.
DeleteIt looks like you had such a fun family weekend. That first picture of your son is so funny and absolutely adorable. Those chocolate covered strawberries look AMAZING!!

ReplyDeleteThat pout is too funny! A friend was telling me her preschooler was upset with her on a recent trip overseas and proceeded to tell everyone on the plane they were boarding the she was mean and not his mother. Federal marshals were involved. Yep. Fun times. LOL It turned out alright though. I have to say...you are an amazing cook! I'm coming to YOUR house this weekend!
ReplyDeleteoh god that is not how i want to travel! I have a 16 hour international flight coming up in a few months.. travelling alone with the boys.. and it's already giving me nightmares..
Deletehaha thanks.. the kids are so distracting at times I find it hard to focus on the cooking but I do love to cook.. come on over we love to host too.
