We spent the majority of the weekend getting the house ready for these things, but we did make some time to relax. We saw True Grit Friday evening. The acting was amazing and the music (old hymns) was beautiful!

We did our grocery shopping after the movie and I discovered my new favorite snack at Target.
I'm always eating the Nature Valley granola bars, but these are better because they contain chocolate. duh.
Speaking of chocolate, I made the most decadent brownies this weekend. Katie posted them on her blog on Friday and I couldn't resist making them. Recipe here. (super easy!)
Symphony Brownies

Ty is not allowed to mention how much of the brownies have already been consumed.
Despite all the house stuff, I managed to do quite a bit of fun stuff this weekend. Ty slaved away the majority of the time while I was out and about. Isn't he the best?!
Went to a baby shower for Megan and baby Eli
It was a cowboy theme. How cute are these plates?!
See all the cute details on Megan's blog.
On Monday I took H, my bbbs little, to see Tangled. It was really cute!

It was nice to have an extra day to add to the weekend. Now, if I could only arrange to work four days every week.
Lol! I tried to make this brownies last night, but I used too big of a pan, so I just did regular ones ;( you must keep us posted on you house selling journey. It is so exciting! My friend Megan blogged about those same crisps and I forgot to but them. I need to try them. Lastly, megan's shower looked adorable. Love those plates. So creative!
ReplyDeleteReally want to see that movie!!! Megan's shower was SO cute and you look gorgeous in that red!!! :)
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't we give out these brownies instead of Symphony bars at chapter?!?!?!?
ReplyDeletei'm totally going to target after work to get those granola bars. they look amazing.
ReplyDeleteI loooooved True Grit too! My niece was up for the role of Mattie Ross (I mean, along with like 15,000 others!), but, I give her a hard time because when Hailee Steinfeld was at the Golden Globes I called my niece and was all "That could have been YOU!". Obviously, I win aunt of the year.
ReplyDeleteAnd omg, chocolate and granola? Sign me up please.
I really wanted to see Tangled...I guess I need to find a little girl to go with me so I can have a good excuse :) Anyway was who uses the word "decadent" to describe brownies must mean they are totally awesome!
