Weekend.

I cherish my weekend so much, it's such a shame how fast they go. I see everyone's weekend pictures, and I can't help but think how my life is just so not that exciting right now! Ha!

Friday night we had dinner with Sage and Eishi, Buffalo Wild Wings. Not classy but one of my favorite food spots. I really wanted to go see a movie or go do something that night, but hubs caught the bug and wasn't feeling up to it, so we went home. We rented Elysium, my opinion, wait until HBO airs it to watch it, if you haven't already. Yeah, Matt Damon looks like a babe in it {if you like dirty manly menly men, like I, then you will agree}, but not worth the 5.99 that will be on my Dish bill next month. Keep in mind, I am not  a harsh movie critic either. I like almost every movie I see.

The morning was long, and hubs and I had a little {big} spat, but eventually got over it. My mother's birthday is the 15th this month so I wanted to do something nice for her. So I got some decorations, picked up a gift card to her favorite clothing store, and spend $81 in groceries for a Sunday family dinner- Moms birthday edition. Then we went to Austins parents house, I know, like always, for dinner and to see the new iguana. Okay, never been a huge lizard fan. Don't necessarily see the fascination in boring ol' lizards, but this iguana... pretty cool. I wouldn't mind trading our mean lady Reptar monitor in for one of these cool guys!

Yeah, he's just chillen on my husband head being the bad ass that he is. I actually really wanted to take him home.

Birthday Dinner/Party day!! Tonight menu:

Pot Roast with potatoes and yummy carrots

Homeade Mashed taters & gravy

Mac & Cheese- Velveeta shells, everyone's fav.

Corn

Chedder Bay Biscuts

Chocolate cupcakes for desert {my moms fav}

I know, nothing fancy, but this was the first pot roast I have ever made, and may I say, I friggen nailed it! It was so tender and full of flavor. I used to doubt my cooking, but I think I can make anything my little heart wants to! My parents, my sister, hubs parents, and his sister came over for the feast. It was fun. Have I mentioned how much I adore my family. They all get a long so great.

Earlier that day I hung a banner and my husband went crazy with some streamers {totally forgot to get a picture} so my house was well decorated for a birthday party!  My mom enjoyed it! I am so glad I am finally able to give back to the people that brought me into this world, and have worked so hard to spoil me to this day! It's rewarding for me(:

I know, it was pretty cute to put these candles on the cupcakes. ha! She liked it!

I am actually sad this time together is over, and tomorrow I will have to report back to work at 0700. Oh well. I hope everyone had an awesome weekend too!
