I do! Weekends are the oasis of oblivion at the end of my workweek. Two whole days of sleeping in, spending leisure time with my hubby, starting on projects I want to do, and getting to the housework that I have neglected all week. It’s pure bliss really.
This weekend I skipped out early on Friday and Chris and I did a little window shopping. And it really was window shopping! I didn’t buy anything! For all of you who know me, this was a great success. Chris is the best window shopper and he made things fun.
That night we made pizza with Christopher’s family and attempted to watch a movie. However, we kept striking out on Netflix. I eventually fell asleep and I think they watched a semi-funny 90’s movie. I didn’t make it past the first twenty minutes, so I couldn’t tell you.
Saturday was, of course, GAME DAY! Chris and I huddled down on the sofa, snuggled in my blue BYU blanket, and watched the entire game. It was hopeful, but in the end disappointing. I thought they really had a chance to beat Notre Dame for awhile there. They played well and all I can say is, Go Cougs!
My favorite
part of the weekend was Sunday. After a great day at Church, with
exceptional Sacrament talks, Chris and I took the afternoon for some
fall traditions. Chris made his favorite, and now famous, gingerbread
cookies with lemon icing. He is a natural baker so I lend this job
entirely to him. (Last time I tried to make them they came out hard and very un-delicious. I could ruin almost anything in the kitchen.J) We took the cookies to some neighbors and of course kept a few for ourselves.
While that was happening, I set up the pumpkin
creation station! I had bought a couple pumpkins at the beginning of the
season and they were just begging to be carved and decorated. Can
you guess which pumpkin is mine? That’s right, I am all over the
glitter pumpkin! It’s the easiest thing in world, involving only spray
adhesive and glitter, but boy did I fall in love with it when I was
finished. Chris painted the
haunted house and I carved out all the windows. It turned out pretty
well, I think. Our pumpkin decorating was a success!
And guess what happened today. Chris made me a special surprise. He baked me a Happy Friday cake! How awesome is that?!? Indeed, I have the best husband and this is going to be another great weekend!
