I’m going to apologize right now. You see, there’s lots of cooking going on in my house recently and well, that’s what I’ve been taking pictures of, so get used to it!
My day began awesome. I slept in…a lot. When I finally got out of bed, I came down downstairs and had my absolute favorite breakfast — a bagel, coffee, juice, and yogurt. No one was here, which is rare these days and so it was totally quiet.

The afternoon (because honestly, I woke up at the end of morning), was composed of some house cleaning, watching some football, and sitting around. It also involved getting things ready for Marissa and Johnny to come over. We’ve been planning on having a fun lazy weekend together with lots of yummy food.
Marissa and Johnny got here with some stuff from the store and some take ‘n bake pizzas and salad to have for dinner.
Right away, Marissa and I started to make cupcakes. She’s been looking at a lot of “food porn” (as she calls it) lately and wanted to make her own yummy things. She doesn’t have a lot of experience in the kitchen and so it was fun to teach her a few things.



Mike and the kids came over again (to get in on all the food, of course).
The girls love playing on the iPad.

And Mike, well, I guess having so many people in such a small space was wearing on him, lol.

While the pizza baked, I snapped some adorable pictures of Callie and Persephone, which you know that I have to post!


And then we got to eat this delicious thing. Oh my goodness, it was sooooo good.

After Mike and the kids left, the three of us watched some hilarious stuff on TV, and I did expose them to Extreme Couponing which was airing again. They had pretty much the same reaction that everyone else does. How do they do that and how come I’ve been paying so much for everything?
