Sweater Weather

Hey all! How was your weekend? Mine was a typical weekend. On Friday night Scott and I had dinner at Abuelos (hello dip sampler) then finally went to see Breaking Dawn Part 2. It didn't disappoint me except that it's so awkward to watch K-Stew and R-Patz in a relationship even when they're acting. Watching them on a talk show is even worse. I can't imagine how the host feels. Getting them to have a good interview is like pulling teeth and it always feels like the most awkward moment of my life when I watch them. A lot of actors are that way. Promoting your latest project is part of your job therefore a winning personality should be a requirement. Some actors are great on a talk show and some are so bad.
Saturday night we had Brad and Jaclyn over for dinner. For the first time ever I made lasagna from scratch. I don't mean to toot my own horn or anything but it was delicious. I got the recipe from Cuisine For Two. I love that magazine. Anything we've ever made from it has been crazy yummy and it's the perfect size portion for a family of two. Of course you can just double the recipe if you're cooking for more than two. I highly recommend getting it. It's a little piece of culinary heaven.
On Sunday my Uncle Rex and his wife Marge Anna came to see our house for the first time then we all went out to lunch together. All in all it was a pretty good weekend and I finally got my lights up outside which is a big stress relief for me. I don't like it when I look like I don't have any Christmas spirit!!

Speaking of Christmas spirit, these two have been looking adorable in their little Christmas sweaters recently! I took this pic of them last night because they were chewing on the same bone. They are so crazy with the bones. There could be 100 of them lying around but there's always one that's apparently better than the others. Usually they can't agree on who gets the magical bone but sometimes they compromise and share and it cracks me up.
I've been SO proud of them this last week. For the first time since I got them (May 21) I've not had the baby gate up blocking them from going upstairs (aka the carpet) and they've had ZERO accidents!! You cannot imagine how happy that makes me. It took nearly 7 months!!!!! I think it's because they were at my Mom's house for almost 2 weeks and it must have finally clicked with them that the puppy pad is the only spot they can go potty on in the house. It's not only been great for me but them as well because they LOVE going upstairs to play. If only they'd realized this sooner. Hopefully I didn't just jinx it.
