Almost {Wordless Weekend}

This weekend was jam-packed full of of living: Hanging out with the fam, creating yummy meals, exploring the mountains, etc... It was soooooooo jam-packed, that I just got home after 10PM, ran a load of dishes, quickly cleaned out the car, and am trying to get a quick blog post up. I may be paying for this tomorrow!! Oh.My.Goodness - you wouldn't believe the mess we can make in just a half day excursion!! The joys of toddler parenthood I suppose. Our trip did include crayons and a coloring book in the carseat, about a billion snacks, about half of which ended up on the floor, under Babycakes' butt cheeks, or on the seat next to her (thank goodness for dust busters!), a diaper change in my lap in the backseat (while the car was stopped of course!), and the coup de gras - painting with her water paint elmo book, paintbrush and all! Here are a few pics from our weekend adventures:
Pizza #1:

Breakfast #1: Greek Yogurt Strawberry Banana Bread

Shopping w/Babycakes to buy non "wheat" flour for pizza attempt #2:

Babycakes at the cabin with "Bromma" watching about 2 minutes of Thumbelina. I'm not sure what's "wrong" with OUR toddler, but she HATES tv, movies, and anything on a screen. As soon as I turn anything on (even stuff kids are supposed to like: Elmo, Barney, Veggie Tales, ANYTHING... she says "no like that momma, off." Well, ok then, missie! I know in the end this is a GOOD thing... there's just sometimes when it would be sooooooooo awesome if she would sit for 10 minutes (ok, even 5) and watch something on tv while I got something accomplished. Maybe when she's 12 :)

Pizza #2 - refining the recipe to share with you tomorrow - it was soooooooo much better the 2nd time around!

The special ingredient: Negra Modelo!

Breakfast #2 (to be featured as a guest post later this week at my friend Lauren's blog Oatmeal After Spinning). I'll be sure to let you know when it's up!

I always make extra pancakes these days and freeze a few to pull out later in the week when I'm in a hurry for Babycakes' breakfast:
Babycakes wandering around the sporting goods store with a pink pool noodle... b/c that's how my baby girl rolls :) And she's rockin' that "Pebbles" hairdo, no?

And, last, but not least: Babycakes found a shot glass in one of our kitchen drawers and exclaimed: "Baby cup!! Water in baby cup!" So she drank about 5 shot glass' worth of water giggling the entire time. I promise that's ALL that was in there :)
Question:
Anything exciting happen this weekend??

Love it!
I can't wait to hear exactly what you put in the pizza crust the second time around. :)
Don't the weekends just go by WAY too fast?? Sigh... at least we're that much closer to NEXT WEEKEND!!! :)
Pizza Recipe
Posting tomorrow, so check back :)
Fun!!
Kelly I look at that pizza and realize that you too are feeding a carnivore husband. That's exactly what a pizza in our house would look like, but I would have to have some black olives! Sounds like I had the opposite of your weekend not much going on here with my man working on call. I'm excited to try your crust for sure and picking up some beer sounds like a done deal. What would make my man more happy then beer and pizza but beer pizza crust! Thanks!!!!
Exactly!
Full recipe will post tomorrow, but a sneak peek... the recipe calls for 3/4s of a beer, so you can enjoy the remaining 1/4 whilst making it :)
Adorable
Your pictures of Babycakes are SO adorable! (and the pizza looks delish too!)
thanks!!
I definitely think she's the most adorable baby ever :) not that I'm biased! Ha!!
Delicious
It all looks delicious!! Is the beer crust pizza recipe on your site? I will have to explore :). I went camping this past weekend. No hamburgers for me for awhile. Or sleeping in a tent. Good with that :).
recipe tomorrow :)
LOL - yeah, I'm a little old now to enjoy sleeping in a tent... on a thermarest. I sleep on my side, so it's never very comfortable!!
