3 day weekend

Welcome back from a glorious 3 day weekend! Am I the only one who thinks all weekends should be three days long? Well, they should be.

J and I had a pretty relaxing weekend. J did have to work a bit, but not a ton so that was nice. Also, we did get a FUN package in the mail, Fenways present for winning pet of the week!

Trying to open her present.

She got a few treats, a new tag for her collar (which says Pet of the Week) and a  few other goodies! Thanks to everyone who helped us win by voting for her!

Other exciting news, we did a big kid thing this weekend and bought a grill!

Making the decision. 

 Of course, we grilled out at every opportunity after this purchase. AND I actually documented what we made one night: Turkey burgers, beans, homemade potato chips and homemade ice cream!

Ingredients for the turkey burgers.: ground turkey, 1 egg, bread crumbs and  Worcestershire. 

I read off a blog to put a thumbprint in the middle of the burger. It helps it not to swell up and add Worcestershire!

Starting the ice cream! It was yummy. 

Prep of the homemade potato chips. 

It was a great holiday weekend, the perfect rest to get us ready for Amanda's big day next weekend and all our travelling.

More exciting news, Fen goes to the doctor next Tuesday to check on her progress!!

love love love y'all,
K
