We have started having pizza party nights....Hunter's latest and most favorite thing! We get lots of toppings, cheese, sauce, and pre-made dough (for quickness in the crazy week nights) and set it all up..assembly line style. We make silly faces with the pizza or just load it up with the works....Hunter's pizza usually has enough cheese to start his own cheese shop.
We had some canadian bacon left over so I put it in the freezer thinking it would work great for next week. Well, Saturday morning I got up to get breakfast and out the door. I grabbed my english muffin, egg, and.........DANG, it hit me..... that canadian bacon would be great on my breakfast sandwich.....
I run to the freezer.....grab it......yep.... the freezer did its job (dangit) and froze it good.....no time to defrost....hmmm no worries, I have a good hour drive before I get where I need to go.....(side note: I have this REALLY BAD personality trait that when I get my mind on something....it's going to happen whether it's meant to or not...)
I assemble my sandwich (minus the canadian bacon) in my tupperware... grab a towel, coffee, purse, and head out the door. What I do next, I have no idea where it came from....it just did.
I wrap the towel around the canadian bacon, turn my seat warmer on high, and set my purse on top of the frozen wrapped canadian bacon so the weight will force it down into the warm, toasty seat....
An hour I drove....... singing to my radio like I own those songs...got to my destination and just enough was thawed that I could assemble and microwave the rest of my sandwich.........Mmmmmm... yep, I'm calling it "mom on the go" breakfast..... Anybody have any hollandaise sauce? I know a great warmer :)
Other than that it has been wonderfully productive and fun weekends in the Stinson Casa. We have been booked out the Wazoo lately but finding time here and there to continue "year of the house!!" (I am ABOUT burned out on that by the way....phew...exhausted, is this house finished yet?)
We have been looking at bedroom furniture for upteen years now and have yet to find something that we both agree on..... Sooooo... I decided to make one based on ideas that we both like.
It all started from this.....
to this....
and finally sanding and staining..
to bolting...
and last but not least... FINISHING!!
We are very excited how it turned out! Now for the footboard and armoire....but before that...I got a wild hair on what I wanted to do for the entry...
We had it the basic entry way for FOREVER... mirror, side table,...done..... but it just didn't seem to fit. We always needed a place for wet coats, boots,...WHATEVER it was, our coat closet always seemed to be low on space..sooo we went from this...
to building this..
We are in loooooove with it! I am going to frame more "hunter art" of all sizes and our favorites as well to put on the ledge.. I got a small start on it...
the art is this...
and then we will add grown up art too...(a fine eclectic mix is always nice ;)
Our bathroom got a minor face lift also....so we have one of those big frameless mirrors in the bathroom...drives me nuts...but I like the big area sooo..
it works...adds a layer to the flatness.. I will probably still build a frame for this but for now...it works..
There have been a few other house updates too...duke and watson (our 4-legged babies) got new food bins that have their names on it...
and then it has just been all fun with play and baking...i made scones for breakfast this week which hunter calls "cones"..well he took a bite and now calls them cookies...maybe i should make a healthier breakfast...
Orange cranberry scones with a fresh orange glaze...my favorite...
We did have a VERY important military "drill" in the house this weekend. It was all very Covert Ops type stuff...
Good thing hunter is always there to protect his mommy while we seek / hunt out daddy!!
Sending all of our love from Texas!
