Okay that being said this weekend was pretty fun. Rach and her boyfriend Dan came up - okay more like across - for the weekend. I love chill house guests who help you do the dishes and go grocery shopping and don't mind that you have no idea what you're making for dinner. They got in town Friday night with plenty of time to eat a delicious pizza Spencer made with our homemade pesto before we headed out to watch the cards play (for the record I think we've already made 12 jars of pesto from our basil plants and you can't even see where I picked basil - so ridiculous!). Go Cards!! That game was so ridiculous! And heart attack inducing! Good thing DMac has cable and lives 20 steps away, so we could walk across the street and watch it in the comfort of our hoodies and socks - even though he was in Bentonville not Tulsa for the night haha.
In the morning, after some yummy breakfast and coffee, it was off to Porter, OK, the home of peaches. We went to pick . . . wait for it . . . nope not peaches :). We went to pick apples and pumpkins! The apples were a no go, apparently it's too late in the season but we did find some lovely pumpkins. We decided to be cheapos and skip the hay ride and just walk out to the pumpkin patch to find us some lovely gems.
Rokcy and Blitzy also had lots of fun laying around the yard and getting in mock dog fights all weekend long. For the record Rocky is so chill and he loves sitting on your lap and cuddling.
Blitz however does not love sitting on your lap. But it is pretty funny to try and get her to cuddle with you :).
After heading back from the pumpkin patch we hit up topeca and shopped around some little botique places downtown before heading home for bunches of football and some crazy weather!! The boys wanted to make steaks and decided it was still feasible to grill them outside even though you could barely see through the rain to the garage!
Rach and I opted for staying dry inside and making this awesome pie from some apples we got at the pumpkin patch (you could buy them just not pick them haha). Our dinner turned out so, so delicious. Steaks marinated in this awesome sauce we saw on a cooking show, grilled corn on the cob, and yummy potatoes roasted to perfection with spicy mustard and garlice. And of course the pie :).
Today after church we just all sat around on the front porch and chilled. It was so, so beautiful. 75 and sunny and breezy. And the company was delightful. Once they headed back to Arkansas we took our crazy not lap dog to walk by the river and then it was home for a delicious breakfast for dinner with David and Kat and David, complete with pumpkin pancakes topped with delcious apples and maple syrup and whipped cream. Yum Yum. I'd call that a pretty good weekend :).
Sounds like a wonderful weekend for the six of you. We very much enjoyed our time with Amanda, as well as a short stint of Jake and Joe at our home Saturday night before then headed out for Karaoke(sp?) at a local bar where the average age was mine, evidently. C&W with the guys singing "Whiskey for my men, beer for our horses." Looking forward to time together on the banks of the Little Buffalo River(maybe it'll have water in it this time) with us all together.
