Weekend/Instagram overload!

This weekend was awesome, Sportsfans.
It was the kind of weekend where you do nothing, but don't feel lazy.
The kind of weekend that doesn't move too fast.
The kind of weekend where you eat a lot. (every weekend)

It started out with an awesome day at work on Friday. The last few weeks we have been slamming our kids hard to get them ready for the big district writing assessment. On my team, there is me and another language arts teachers (she takes the gen ed kids), a science teacher and a history teacher. Our kids were writing essays in all of our classes. They did amazing on the test and we wanted to reward them so instead of teaching that day, they moved around in groups to different activities. It was so fun. We played Mafia in one room, ping pong using text books as paddles in another room, and since it was a gorgeous day, the third group played kickball. We decided I wouldn't host an activity and instead, follow my kids around to monitor their behavior. It was a blast and I think we all needed it.
That night Nathan and I took advantage of some gift cards and went out to eat. I wont these at work. My boss sends out weekly emails so we don't have to have too many staff meetings. At the end she will ask questions and the first to email back with the correct answers wins gift cards. Let's just say, I'm pretty smart. It was funny too because we ran into my aunt and uncle while there. They live in Bountiful so it was funny to bump into them at a Salt Lake restaurant. It was great to see them!

Saturday we enjoyed the weather some more and ate at Great Harvest out in the sunshine. Their bread makes me want to die over and over again.

We ran some errands, went to the adult session of Stake Conference, and then I indulged in this. I really, really love them you guys.

Sunday was basically the definition of lazy-magnificence.We had a green breakfast to celebrate St. Patty's. Then Stake Conference. Then.. nothing. Ahh, sweet nothing. We laid in bed, took some naps, watched some TV. It was fantastic.

Whipped out the crock pot for a pork-chop dinner, and then I did something naughty. Well, Nathan did something naughty first! He bought the Cadbury mini eggs. But I looked up the recipe for the Cadbury mini egg blondies. It's the naughtiest and most wonderful recipe to have ever been pinned on my pinterest board. You guys, they were so delicious!! Someone come to my house and eat all the leftovers. I can only use the "it's for the baby" excuse for so long. And I think it wore off after we ate half the pan last night.

We concluded the night by watching Perks of Being a Wallflower which I have mixed feelings about but don't really feel like typing those out. Instead I will end with some pictures just in case you thought your nephews were cuter than mine.


Here is Clarky winking.
Best wink EVER.
And here is Carson just basically
being a G.
I love those boys.
I love their siblings too, of course.
But these pictures needed to be
shared on the interwebs.

  1. sounds like an A+ weekend. I will definitely have to make those cadbury egg brownies. I saw the recipe but resisted pinning it because I knew it would be dangerous. However, Your picture persuaded me to make them. MISS YOU!!
