What a fun day we had. The boys always want something special for breakfast on the weekends. I decided to mix it up a bit. Normally, I make cinnamon rolls or some kind of flavored pancakes but being Valentine’s Day, I thought something heart healthy would be appropriate…. NOT! No, unfortunately we opted for extra cheesy scrambled eggs with onion and ground pepper. I also made cranberry scones. YUM! I don’t make them the traditional way in strips. We like them a little more like biscuits. I think they’re more flavorful that way. They’re a little softer and yummy when warm.
Then, off to the movies.
“Hotel for Dogs”.
Very cute!
WOW! What the heck am I doing on this side of the camera?
For dinner, I thought I’d continue the pro-cholesterol movement and made a huge hunk – O – beef thingy with bacon wrapped green beans and our new favorite, crash potatoes.
A quick shot of the green beans right before I put them in the oven. I used the thick cut back bacon instead of the regular cut because it actually does have less fat if you can believe that. I also put minced onions inside and then drizzled them with olive oil and a sprinkle of lemon pepper.
Gavin was totally in a festive mood so we dug around and found a few things to set the table with too.
We finished the evening with a bowl of kettle corn and family movie night. Very nice day indeed.
This one’s for the ladies……
I’ll throw in a few pictures from Gavin’s school party on Friday because we had so much fun making valentines for his classmates. For some reason, this year he is much more sensitive to the fact that pink and purple are “all about girl” colors. He wanted to do something that didn’t involve; pink, purple or hearts… Hmmmmm, now that's a challenge. He said “Let’s do something Chinese!”..... Ya, cause that’s the first thing I think of when someone mentions Valentine’s Day.
So we made 30 little Chinese take out boxes and stuffed them with candy and then printed a little label with Asian symbols and his message.
Look at the kid in the back ground....Is that a pixie stick up his nose?
And some argue that sugar has no adverse effect on kids.
I swear, he looks like he's having sugar convulsions
(I know his mother. We'll talk).
I hope your day was full of laughter and love too.
