I think every weekend is super busy around here. I love it, although it can been crazy sometimes! Ha. It's such a blessing to have both of our extended families close by - there is never a lack of things to do!
My little brother, Josh, comes over a lot to play with the kids while my mom runs errands or works out. Lily enjoyed playing dress-up in Josh's coat.
On Saturday morning we decided to go to Cracker Barrel for breakfast. We do very few spontaneous things these days, so it was a lot of fun to change up the routine a little!
Lily wouldn't look at the camera long enough to get a picture. Oh well!
After breakfast, Jacob got a swing set that his Aunt and Uncle wanted to give us. I took the kids grocery shopping and when we got home Lily was thrilled to swing and slide!

Yes, Lily and Levi were worn out after our busy day!
After I got the kids into bed I made a Lemon Pound Cake for our church dinner on Sunday. Even though I greased the pan like three times, the cake still stuck! So depressing! I ended up just crumbling it up and making it like a trifle with lemon sauce. I called it Lemon Disaster Cake, but everyone said it tasted good.
Mr. Levi turned 10 months old on Sunday!
Jacob had his last opera performance on Sunday night so my family came over to our house for supper like last week. My kids had fun with Papaw!
Sorry for the bad quality of some of the pictures - some of them are phone pics.
Hope y'all had a great weekend!







Do a web search for "pan goop". I think it's equal parts veg oil, shortening and flour. It works REALLY well at keeping cake from sticking. (The goop looks gross but doesn't change the flavor or any of the cake.)
ReplyDeleteI feel like I would love Lemon Disaster Cake. :)
ReplyDeleteI've always been hesitant to make something in my bundt pan for that reason! I should try sometime, I love a good pound cake!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a fun weekend, and breakfast at Cracker Barrel sounds almost divine to this pregnant mama right now!! (We LOVE CB but don't go very often.)
I love being involved with your precious family! Love you!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to hear I'm not the only one who has to eat the awkward remains of cooking disasters. Looks like your weekend was great fun.
